Another outcome for which the Kremlin worked, lest we forget. Described in "Road to Unfreedom."
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Happy days, chatting to far right nutter Steve Bannon about plans to form a network of populists, including Putin's pal Viktor Orban, Russia supporting Narendra Modi and all round good guy, Rodrigo Duterte, currently in The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity.

The Gulf of America — “Very well, alone”

Trump abandoning Ukraine and siding with Putin has been on the cards for years

Incredible amateurishness
Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.

The average UK house price is £272,000.

Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!

Oi you, person of Christian values…

The UK government’s budget is simply managing decline.

The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth.

Can't grow economy by hiking taxes on low/middle income families.

Whatever happened to taxing the rich?

This is how the Mail has covered a 70% fall in net migration.

The Government should stop kidding itself it will ever get credit for being anti-migration. They could cut numbers to zero and there would still be front pages blasting them for making the UK a socialist wasteland no one wants to come to

A reminder that every time Ru appeals to legal arguments (Ru constitution includes Ukr regions; Ru can't legally sign w Ukr because martial law has postponed elections), we should laugh. Ru law is utterly devoid of legality; it's a pure instrument of the state for post hoc justifying its actions.

It was not a plan but a capitulation document. It did not come together. It was a Russian document presented by some Americans as American. Be clear in your headlines. Help
people see the simple awfulness of things.
President Trump's proposal to end the war in Ukraine heavily favored Russia in its initial form and included demand that Kyiv has consistently rejected. Here's how the plan came together.

The right step and an indication that Ukraine’s anticorruption institutions have reached a level of maturity absent in many European democracies. This happened thanks to Ukr civil society and ordinary people who rallied in the middle of war this summer to protect the institutions’ independence.
