Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Putin copies the dіctators of the past — Hіtler and Stalіn. Like them, he wages war under the guise of "liberation," destrоys the truth, spreads fear, and dreams of an empire built on the blоod of others.

For all its obsession over ‘DOGE’, we had a massive example of government fraud and waste recently - it was called the PPE scandal - and the right totally ignored it

💥 BREAKING: Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches and destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine. The hatches appear to have been opened by remote control, again.

Perhaps prepare participants in polls like this by reminding them of what is happening to legal citizens in the USA just now. Context matters. Try it Some questions are really unsuitable for this kind of polling. Maybe participants should pass a test about what is IN the ECHR first?

While Tory MPs chase fare dodgers around for a few quid, billions in wasteful PPE spending is being uncovered. Perhaps if Robert Jenrick wants to catch who's really robbing the country blind, he should look within.

Brilliant from @llinosmedi.bsky.social‬! We must end the demonisation of immigrants. Immigrant's bring vibrancy to our country, without them we would all be poorer. We must stand up to those who peddle populist immigration policies to drive class division and yet fly on private jets.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

The embedded link below is a great explanation of how procurement in government works for our benefit. And highlights reforms lack of understanding of the same.

Reform’s chairman mistaking a procurement framework for government waste tells you everything you need to know about how their councils will be run: loud, wrong, and completely out of their depth.

Trump falls out with everyone he works with who challenges his supremacy. Farage falls out with everyone he works who challenges his supremacy. Political populism is forged in the white heat of puffed up egos and deep personal insecurity.

Clearly Yusuf realised... like so many others in UKIP/BP/Reform before ... that attempts to professionalise a rabal let by a leader who does not allow dissent is completely pointless

Remarkable that less than a week ago Zia Yusuf was out on the airwaves, including my Sunday show, batting for Reform. Now he’s resigned as Chairman saying: “I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time.”

Since 2019 (the last full year of EU membership), the volume of UK trade growth fell to an annual 0.3%, well below: -0.7% France -0.8% Germany -1.9% EU -1.4% Japan -2.4% US And well below our previous 4.9% from 1980-2008 For an open economy like Britain’s, this is very bad news. Bloody Brexit!

It’s pretty epic how the SBU seems to be just hustling about all over Russia and the Kremlin is totally oblivious to it. The Russian psychology of thinking they invaded a country they consider an ”inferior version of themselves” is totally blowing in their faces

With Reform surging in the polls its interesting to see what happened when the radical right (kind of) entered government following a poll surge in the Netherlands - support halved in less than a year, centre-left (GL/PvdA), trad right (PVV) and Christian Dems (CDA) all recovered support
