🇺🇸 U.S. Congressman Mike Quigley:
“Why should anyone believe a president who allowed Putin to violate six deadlines? He makes promises and nothing happens — just like with the Tomahawk cruise missiles. He imposes tariffs on our allies and tells NATO that it should rely only on itself.”

The tax system is broken. The richest people in the UK get to hoard their wealth whilst many struggle to buy the essentials and keep the heating on.
It doesn't have to be this way. @ScottishGreens.org want to tax the top 1%'s wealth and raise £70 billion for public services.
