100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

There should be a GLOBAL response to this. The completely avoidable 2008 crash caused by U.S. banks was a GLOBAL crash, and the global community expected the U.S. to put in place (and KEEP in place) rules that would keep it from happening again. Removing such guardrails should have consequences.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

This document is not a US-UK trade treaty. It lacks details, not legally binding. No method specified for testing hormone infested beef. At best, it outlines negotiating positions on selected areas. It is not approved by parliament. It is not a substitute for pre-Brexit trade deal with the EU.

Keir Starmer immitates Reform in his divisive speech. Accuses immigrants of causing “incalculable damage”, making the UK “an island of strangers”. Rightly faces backlash from unions, employers, MPs. Silence on class war, inequalities, profiteering, lack of public services, fuelling frustrations.

Every single western pundit, politician, person on this site, pro Israel group, who mindlessly chanted for 18 months, ‘if Hamas released the hostages the war would be over’… should hang their heads in shame, & spend the rest of their lives apologizing, especially for being played by Netanyahu!
