FOTUS’s KGB name is “Krasnov” says a senior ex-KGB officer who also says FOTUS was recruited in 1987 when Russia was recruiting influential businessmen. Would explain A LOT #Voices4Victory

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Life expectancy growth stalls across Europe as England sees sharpest decline, say researchers

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

JD Vance has been labelled an “extremist” after he launched a broadside against the UK’s efforts to protect women seeking an abortion. Vance’s comments, part of a wide-ranging tirade against Europe, has been called inaccurate and misogynistic. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

Oh I love this! How long will he still be the world's richest man I wonder

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I too am rooting for you Canada. Don't let the orange man baby get away with it

Average UK state pension (SP) is £10,500 a year. In 2022, 110,000 pensioners died from fuel poverty. 28% of over 55-year-olds have no other pension saved, will completely rely on SP. 23% of 18-34-year-olds expect to solely rely on SP. Crisis looming. SP must be aligned with the living wage.

Time to turn off the taps. Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada. From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain. As for the beer? It's shit anyways. True. North. Strong. Free. @strongasfuck

Not voting helps no one. We in the UK sadly know that from recent experience

Anglian Water passed thousands of pollution tests at sewage plants that weren’t carried out. That's what happens when companies self certify. Sewage dumping under stated. Will get worse, regulators required to promote growth i.e. keep quiet, fewer fines. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
