You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

Tory MPs want to scrap worker right to maximum working hours, guaranteed annual leave, holiday pay. Oppose UK law inhibiting sexual & other harassment, as this interferes with free speech; claim employer would deal with it. Why do workers vote for this mob? bylinetimes.com/2024/12/17/c...

Ever wondered why GPs are continually attacked in the papers, but acute physicians like A+E doctors are not? It’s because GP services are attractive and are being taken on by major corporations, whereas acute services are mostly not. The NHS is being decimated+private companies are swooping in.

High energy prices predicted to be 'the new normal'. Because govts don't curb profiteering. Govts can cap price, levy windfall taxes to boost the public purse, end subsidies for energy corporations, end privatisation. Govts are impotent by choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
