UK Govt bends to Trump's imperialism. NHS to pay 25% more (3bn) for drugs after UK–US tariff deal.

Money will buy less, higher taxes or longer healthcare queues as Trump wants bigger profits for US companies.

Build your supply chains or be blackmailed. Whatever happened to 'take back control'?

Chris Mason on BBC news desperately trying to justify his personal view that he was misled on our behalf during the budget process. The man is full of his own importance while being no more than a political gossip machine.

This
Because people *still* don’t understand that overseas students subsidise home students. This is punishing everyone involved.
With Rachel Reeves reportedly set to apply a new tax on tuition fees paid by overseas students, most Britons support such a move at the previously mooted level of 6%

Support: 57%
Oppose: 18%

Soon the public will wake up to the fact that it is main stream media fuelling #Reform popularity … it is NOT the support of the electorate.. Reform is losing EVERY local election and now even the MSM will have to dilute its obsession
This is the lowest support for Reform in a YouGov poll since April
Westminster Voting Intention:

RFM: 25% (-2)
LAB: 19% (=)
CON: 18% (+1)
GRN: 16% (-1)
LDM: 15% (+2)
SNP: 3% (=)

Changes w/ 16-17 Nov.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This … 100% 👏
There are three things Rachel Reeves should bear in mind tomorrow: obscene wealth doesn't 'trickle down', tax cuts don't 'pay for themselves' and the private sector isn't 'more efficient'

Has no one in the BBC heard of the Streisand effect?

Did everyone think, "oh, Rutger Bregman, he'll be cool with this"?

The US needs to be removed from any and all negotiations involving Ukraine. Under Trump it is a proxy of Russia. World leaders, especially Europeans, need to regain independence of their national defence.
