Thoughts, not prayers….
Three things to bear in mind about yesterday’s #budget.

1) Our overall tax take is still proportionally less than other Western European peer countries.

2) Brexit

3) Liz Truss

With Labour’s dire-polling, they probably think they’ve haemorrhaged all their moderate supporters already. I guess by implementing further far-right appeasing policies, they’re about to find out either way…

Hundreds of prisoners have been mistakenly released in the UK for years, but if you can put the words “Asylum Seeker” in the headline, the BBC and all the Right Wing rags run it as THE main story for days and days…

I can see Labour losing the next election having needlessly fractured the coalition of voters they need to retain power, and Starmer will be bleating on about “learning lessons” when the one lesson he should learn NOW is to STOP chasing Reform’s Nationalist agenda, for Christ’s sake….

The inordinate amount of diplomatic energy that has to go into repairing the damage created by #Trump’s Brain-Farts is incredible. The words “Land” and “Swap” is all it needed for European leaders to spend their weekends trying to unravel their implication.

At least 86 people were killed in #Gaza as the result of Israeli attacks in the 24 hours before midday on Sunday, but apparently it’s more important for the BBC News website to lead with the comments of a #Glastonbury act on Saturday.

The U.S. Dictatorship is all but confirmed. The Supreme Court is complicit in that. Will there be another Presidential Election? Will there be Midterm elections next year? Stay tuned folks….

Another day, another unedifying spectacle of politicians banging on about #immigration as a problem rather than the necessity that it is. Given that family sizes have slumped to a post war low of 1.5 children per household, where are the Care Workers going to come from if not abroad??

I agree. But at the same time, is this👇 you? 😬

I love IKEA instructions. I’m not sure what the second panel is telling me. That I need to undertake this task with a friend who possesses a pencil? Words would be useful sometimes…

The world has gone INSANE. The fact that Canada actually has to state that they’re an independent sovereign nation shows the depths that the current political discourse has fallen to.

This will go one of two ways:-
#Putin rejects and continues to attack #Ukraine, or
Putin accepts and continues to attack #Ukraine; blaming Ukraine for breaching the ceasefire.

The word “highlights” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here👇

It’s about time Europe and #Ukraine realise we can’t rely on the US. At all.
