EU's slow response EU to Russian warfare makes a Russian state collapse more likely. EU's measures are slowly eating away at the Russian body in a way a swift and resolute response would not. Time is not on Russia's side. Eventually China will also not want to be fettered to a corpse.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if Farage now matched Badenoch's stamp duty policy. Why wouldn't he? He doesn't give a shit if it's uncosted - for him, it's all about the pledge and the fanfare around it.

Then Starmer has c.4 years to match Farage....

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

I heard a guy on TV saying these shutdowns occur under both Democrats and Republicans, but there hasn't been a shutdown when Dems were in control of all three branches since the 1970s under Carter.

The two parties are not the same.

The executive branch is one of three COEQUAL branches of government in America.

Until we get rid of this Dictator & this SCOTUS that enables his tyranny, you live in Russia.

Exclamation point.

Does the GoP have their backbone removed surgically or does it dissipate on hearing Trump growl.There is no lower form of human being than those who prefer the company of pedophiles to that of innocent children. Epstein Files.

The House Speaker continues to spread falsehoods about the government shutdown. trib.al/2b8VnZs

In reality, the GOP's plan to “fix health care” leaves millions without it—the plan is projected to cut $1.1T from the Medicaid and ACA marketplace by 2034, as well as impose higher work requirements.

Up to 25,000 Cubans could soon be fighting for Russia.

It is reported that Cubans are promised about $2,000 per month - far more than they can earn at home. It is also possible that they are promised jobs in construction but then sent to the frontlines.

The Constitution is no longer alive
Nothing is left to help us survive
Lawmakers choose fascism instead of democracy
Blaming us instead of the oligarchy
Human rights are removed with no restitution
No one’s prepared for the coming destitution

The Left need to be attacking Privatisation in the same way that the Right attacked Nationalised industries.

Take back control from the thieves, force them out of business.

There should be no profit in Energy, Water, Housing, Healthcare or Public Transport.
