Data darkness in US spreads a global shadow

The U.S. government shutdown that has turned off the official flow of data could begin clouding the view for policymakers in Japan and other countries where insight into the fortunes of the world's biggest economy informs the outlook for their own currencies, trade performance and inflation.

The rancid core of the clique running the Labour Party & the country is laid bare in Paul Holden’s book "The Fraud", published this week.

It spotlights the deceit, disloyalty, duplicity and dirty tactics which brought Starmer to the leadership of the party & then Number 10 Downing Street.

It's a genuine question. Why are all these children of immigrants (Labour and Conservative) so against immigrants?

Yvette Cooper

If Mahmood wanted to tackle declining in trust in politicians a good step would be being honest about immigration. It isn't migration which is the issue, it's the misinformation demonising migrants which surrounds it. Europe's border policies already cost lives.

Well it's clear that the govt of former human rights lawyer Keir Starmer is intent on rolling back human rights across the board.

The trans bashing provides no political benefits except to bigots who'd never vote for them anyway.

It's pretty despicable really.
