The UK's 5 PMs since 2016 contrast with Merkel's 16-year tenure. Khan's migration push highlights a youth policy gap neglected by leaders focused on Brexit's culture wars. Truss's 49-day tenure epitomizes erratic leadership, while Starmer's low approval signals persistent disconnect. #Brexit #UK

Lying in politics has consequences. It's true, & will remain a bitter truth. Just look at the UK economy! From de-industrialization in the 1970s to the 2008 financial crisis & #Brexit fallout, every major downturn was fueled by misleading narratives. #Wales is right: accountability is long overdue.

History’s pages are inked with the suffering of the unheard. From All the Light We Cannot See to The Kite Runner, literature reminds us that silence is as much a weapon as war. Who will tell Kashmir’s story? 📚💔 #SpeakForJustice #Literature #Kashmir

The daffodil rises after winter, proving that even after the coldest days, light and warmth return. Life, too, follows this rhythm. Hard times pass & renewal always comes. Hold on. 🌿💛

Market access is appealing, but U.S. businesses thrive on predictability. Political instability and international sanctions make Russia a high-risk investment.

Throughout history, the line between 'dictator' and 'defender' is drawn by those who either cherish democracy or fear its power. 🏛️

Laws exist to protect workers, but enforcement depends on leadership. Accountability matters.

Behind every protest sign is a person who worked hard, believed in their job, and was let down. The conversation must be about solutions, not scapegoats. 🏗️✊

A crescent moon watches over a field. Darkness is not the absence of beauty, softness and strength in perfect harmony. The universe whispers: bloom even in the quietest nights. 🌙🌺

Diplomatic tensions often escalate when leaders question each other’s allegiances, but history shows that perception & reality in global politics don’t always align.

Negotiation does not always mean surrender. History shows that strategic diplomacy can preserve sovereignty while minimizing prolonged destruction.

When superpowers discuss the future of an invaded nation in its absence, they are not debating its destiny.

Geopolitics is never just about ideology; it’s about economics. While public stances shift, the U.S. still depends on Russian uranium for energy and other raw materials crucial for industries. Realpolitik is in full effect.

From Brexit to NATO, the UK has watched Trump undermine alliances and Putin threaten security. It’s no shock that public sentiment is overwhelmingly negative toward both. Trump is U.S. President, & his country is first. Putin is Russia's president; he put his country first.

The UK's post-war immigration policies once prioritized family unity to support economic recovery. Today’s rigid income thresholds ignore both historical lessons and the human cost of separation. #UK #Policies #Family

History has shown that when superpowers negotiate over the fate of smaller nations without their participation, sovereignty becomes a footnote rather than a principle.

Europe's increasing military support is not just about Ukraine; it’s about long-term security. If Russia achieves its objectives, it sets a precedent that could threaten NATO’s eastern flank. Ukraine is a strategic buffer for Europe’s stability.

Throughout history, societies don’t collapse overnight. They are gradually wearing away when institutions fail to act. The economy, like democracy, is fragile. If the alarm isn’t sounded when tax policies favor the few at the cost of the many, inequality only deepens. 📉

Historically, protectionist policies like tariffs have helped key industries survive. Post-WWII, Japan and South Korea used controlled trade policies to develop their technology and automobile sectors. The U.S. could follow a similar path to revitalize its industrial base. 🚗🔬

In the last 50 years, the UK has witnessed industrial decline, rising unemployment & stagnant wages. The UK’s NHS has been a cornerstone of the nation’s welfare, yet the economic decline has weakened its resilience. Timely action is necessary but systemic investment is critical.💡🇬🇧

When a society values power over truth, it loses its moral compass. True democracy flourishes when citizens stand firm, even when the winds of extremism blow strong. 🌬️⚖️

Are you going to manufacture medical devices in the U.S. finally? The U.S. imports over $50 billion in medical devices annually, with China and the EU being key suppliers. Cuts to agencies like the FDA could disrupt the oversight of these imports, impacting safety and compliance. 📉

The world isn’t just watching Ukraine for security reasons. Ukraine holds 117 of the 120 globally used rare earth elements. Whoever controls them controls the future of tech and defense. 🌍🔬
