Once again, the ones who scream about patriotism the loudest are usually the ones who run off to other countries and/or avoid their fair share of tax.

Also, I’m not a boomer lol

Labour have delivered two budgets which benefit the poorest, and the youngest, the most.

This seems to be what both of us want to see…
Labour’s two budgets have delivered progressive tax and benefit changes that benefit the poorest and children the most.

I’m more than comfortable with that.

Ukraine continues to frustrate Russia at Pokrovsk & have taken several prisoners in Myrnohrad & at Ivanivka.

Russia is trying to create the illusion of a successful offensive, but according to Gen. Mykola Malomuzh, the occupiers are exhausting their resources and failing to achieve their goals.

They didn’t break the Manifesto.

What they continue to break is the gap between the wealthiest and the poorest.

And soon the gap between Landlords and Tenants.

And the gap between Worker and Boss.

That squealing sure is deafening.

The sort of report a great paper publishes. It’s a great read about who the man with the gun in this photo, is. Experts now know his name & that he was a school teacher before WWII.
