Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Great news! So does this mean that the mango shitgibbon siding with Putin has finally shifted the Ukraine War from a defensive one playing for time into an active one that needs to be won by Europe ASAP. If so, then it's the opposite of what Putin wanted! 👏👏👏 #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🕊

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

This deranged post must be read in concert with new Daily Beast and Yahoo News reports that Trump is a Kremlin agent ("Krasnov") and Hegseth speeding up a political purge of the military. What you are seeing here is fear from Trump and Musk; they need to get to martial law fast.

To be fair - we should probably put NATO into administration and drive Europe to fill the defence space... ...a complete reversal of the previous dynamic, I am fully aware, but actually a huge opportunity for Europe (manufacturing, R&D, hard power, cybersecurity, procurement cohesion, etc, etc).

WOW. This from The Telegraph last week, about BREXIT 🤗 "New research sponsored by Best for Britain suggests the UK could boost growth by between 1.7 & 2.2 % simply through deeper regulatory alignment with the EU, without breaching the government’s Brexit red lines. What are they waiting for?"

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it.
