Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video:

“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

Farage usually denies he is considering this. Why would he say this now? Is it to change the subject (from allegations and testimonies of his bullying and racism at school)? He must expect/want it to be revealed that he said it

In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships...

Now it's less than 5%, the rest all goes to billionaires Tax Havens

That's why there is no money

Untreated ADHD is costing the UK about £39bn, the Government spends about £0.5bn a year treating it, but that is apparently too much.

Treating it properly would cost about £2bn but would save nearly £15bn

Instead less than 1 in 20 people over 40 with it have an actual diagnosis

The thing about NATO is the USA has already left.

But they are still in control of it.

Please tell me what's the use of an organisation that will force you to do what someone else (Donald Trump) demands, but won't protect you at all.

While you pay a fortune into it.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

"Assuming no change in the rate of taxation, and all other things being equal, the exchequer will lose the thick end of £100bn in tax revenues this year.

Far from having to raise £26bn in extra taxes, Reeves could have chosen to halve the 20% rate of VAT with money to spare."
Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’
The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit

Listen to this American still working 40 hours a week when he's 88 because his wife got sick and he had to sell his house.

This is exciting polling - not just for London, though.

Right across England and Wales - people are ready to vote Green for the very first time.

British politics is broken. The old left vs right divide no longer explains what is happening. Instead, we face a new choice: care or neglect.

UK budget Effects:

Economy to grow by 1.5% this year, down from 1.9%.
Productivity to rise by 1%, down from 1.3%.
Disposable income could rise by 0.5% a year.

Can't get economic growth when 24m people can't attain minimum living standard.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.
The government’s budget is simply managing decline
The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth

Jury trials in England & Wales for crimes that carry a likely sentence of less than 3 years will be scrapped.

Bad move

Money may be saved but justice and trust in the system will be the biggest casualty.

Cost of unregistered children's care homes a 'national scandal'.

Charge up to £30,000 a week per child.

Poor regulation. Lack of capacity as the sector was privatised. Profiteering rife. Councils spent £8.1bn on children in care.

Why are so many children in care?
