I'm not a small business, just a sole trader. But I did get a call from HMRC one year because I'd mistakenly entered 12 months of child benefit to pay back instead of 13. They made sure they got that extra payment! I have no idea how small businesses get away with it...

He's probably forgotten that people have been shot and killed. They aren't important to him - he only remembers grudges and flatterers.

It reveals Starmer knows the only thing Trump responds to is flattery. But the simple fact is, if you need a positive deal with the US, you have to flatter Trump. Definitely nothing to be proud of, but necessary if you're trying to do the best for UK trade.

Exactly, they knew they had no chance whatsoever that Israel would let any aide through, no matter how small. But because of her profile, even more people are aware of that fact. It only takes a small stone to get the snowball rolling, it might make a difference in the long run.

He's like a toddler. He will keep pushing the boundaries until someone tells him to stop. There's no limit to what he'll do if nobody pushes back.

"...the United States is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not provide universal health care."
Why is that, do you think. Profits before people...? It works for EVERY other industrialised country (no system is perfect), and would work in the US. But will never happen at this rate.

I don't think he ever wanted to be in actual government. Just wanted access to priceless, previously unobtainable data. He's got what he wanted, if so.
