Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

If only Zelensky was the defining figure of our age. Sadly, he's a rare exception to the defining figures of the 21st century, such as Johnson, Trump and Putin.

Oh my word. GB News is now reporting that Putin’s invasion was not an invasion but just a ‘military operation’ and that he didn’t want to take over Ukraine. He sent so few troops , he just wanted a ‘negotiation’. Rewriting history, Kremlin style.

US National Security Adviser says Ukraine President "need to tone it down and take a hard look and sign that deal," What he means is - hand some of your country to Russia, 50% of your mineral wealth to Trump, starve your people. Gangster politics is no basis for lasting peace.

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic. Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.

Friendly Reminder: Putin, now the dictator of Russia and a war criminal, is a former KGB agent who called the dissolution of the Soviet Union "the biggest geopolitical catastrophe." Should the free world align with him or with the man who is resisting his evil empire?

Donald Trump declares himself ‘king’ “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD,” he wrote. “Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!” as he features himself on a mock cover of Time magazine wearing a crown. Deranged and dangerous. What next - declare himself to be a God?

Would this hold true for Trump if Putin decides to invade the USA? Donald Trump says he believes Russia has "the cards" in any peace talks to end the war in Ukraine because Russia has "taken a lot of territory".

Ukraine's European backers must decide, collectively & quickly, what they are willing & able to do with no US backing, in Ukraine & for themselves. Relatedly, they should ask who, in & outside the region, they can work with. With luck, US engagement will continue. But trusting luck isn't a strategy.
