This is how your £100 Income Tax was spent...

£22 → NHS
£6 → Defence
£10 → Education
£10 → Debt interest
£11.40 → State pensions
£4.15 → Working-age welfare (PIP, Universal Credit, health support, etc.)
£0.50 → Asylum system
£0.70 → Overseas aid

Yeah! Hate spending that £1.20!

Mark Kelly: "They're tying themselves in knots trying to explain why what they're doing with regard to these drug boats is legal. It's questionable at best. One of our biggest allies, the UK, recently stopped sharing intelligence with us in the Caribbean because they question whether this is legal."

François Hollande: 'Trump's plan reduces Europe's role to a besieged bystander'
In an interview with Le Monde, the former French president argued that 'for Trump, our continent is finished, it no longer counts,' and warned that if Zelensky 'falls, it is our own security that will be compromised. Sooner or later, we too will fall.'

Trump and Epstein— now Trump boldly says this is a Democrat problem because all of Epstein’s friends were Democrats. Except the emails and photos show: Trump was a friend. And Steve Bannon was a friend. Etc.

There's a lot wrong with the US stitch up of Ukraine, but one of the worst is the demand that Ukraine hold elections within 100 days. The gall. What about elections in Russia ffs. Trump really is a total menace. Evil. #Trump #Ukraine #EU #Nato #Putin

Boris Johnson should never hold public office again and should have all ex-PM entitlements removed.

Incl £115k a year he can claim.

All those affected by his catastrophic leadership during the Pandemic should not subsidise him.

@cbffjuk.bsky.social
Boris Johnson’s silence is deafening, and his contempt for the bereaved is clear.

His actions during the pandemic amount to one of the gravest betrayals of the British public in history.

His decisions cost tens of thousands of lives that could and should have been saved.

Kaitlan Collins caught Karoline Leavitt in real time:

As Leavitt walked off, Collins called out, “Karoline, you misquoted Democrats in that video. That’s actually not what they said.”

When your defense of the president relies on fake quotes, the story tells itself.
