Is it just me or does anyone else think that the trumpet is positively REVELLING in the impact of his tariff meddling. He is LOVING all this power. (And I wonder who quickly jumped into the stock markets when they started their nosedive?)

Agreed.
Water CEO's in the UK are getting £200m a year.
What do they do?
There's no products to sell, none to buy, nothing to change.
It's literally treating sewage and building reservoirs, neither of which they do.
Nationalise and fire them all.

Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

Yesterday they gave £3bn to Thames Water.
Today they have to take £5bn off Disabled people.
It should be the other way around.

Yes. Enough already. They should go to jail.
Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

Yeah. Like trumpet supporters will notice that their elected 'leader' by just over half (not a landslide as he claims) has elevated himself to a king 🙄 bound to no manmade laws, certainly NOT the Constitution of the USA, which looks like it's about to be dismantled by his buds in the Supreme Court.
That's in every department treasonous tRump is dismantling. Just like he did with the NSC pandemic unit before covid! His destruction will be devastating nationwide!

Yes. 89 seconds to midnight. Apparently the most dangerous place the world has been. I agree.
Belligerence via artificial intelligence, drones, and hypersonic weapons, among other threats, demonstrate the rising danger posed by disruptive technologies this past year.
