@lbc.co.uk callers be like: 'I was in the Army for 4 years, 12 years ago, therefore I am more qualified to give insights on complex global defence issues' . DJs: 'Very interesting to hear from someone in the Army, thank you for your service'

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.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage plans to announce the 'Britannia Card' - allowing non-doms to pay £250,000 to exempt them from UK taxes every 10 years. This would stop non doms paying taxes (current revenue: £8.9bn) for only £1.85bn per year (if all non doms took the exemption). Make that add up...

He bottled it. He cannot even make an arbritary decision about this. The can gets kicked down the road two weeks, giving time for the IDF to conclude ops and he will claim his threats brought about peace.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.
