This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

The toll of this morning's Russian assault: 14 killed. 55 injured. 40 hospitalized. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the devastating numbers. Residential buildings destroyed. Civilians buried under rubble. This is not just war. This is terror. And the world must not stay silent.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being rewarded for their ignorant delinquency.
