  1. z Rabinovich calls Odessa: "Aaron, what's going on there?" "Russia is at war with NATO here." "Any losses?" "Yeah, Russia has lost a war cruiser, hundreds of planes and helicopters, over a thousand tanks, a pile of weapons, about twenty-five thousand soldiers ..." "And NATO?" "NATO has not yet arrived.

  2. If they want a better standard of living why do they vote Conservative? Cameron / May now Johnson national average wage has increased by -3% a feat not achieved since the Napoleonic war and we are in our second decade of stagnation under the Conservatives The highest tax burden since the war (and Rhishi gave the bankers a 5% tax cut worth billions) The worst trade deal in British history (City AM QUOTE "One in three UK business owners fear their company won’t exist anymore in a year as Brexit onslaught intensifies")

  3. Instead of a NI hike they could have removed the payment ceiling which would have raised more money He could abandon the 2 billion tax cut to the Bankers He could slap a windfall tax on the fossil companies He could have kept his parties promise on the triple lock Did he do any of these did he fk

  4. Nearly everyone that's been in the news this last couple of weeks has had a pay freeze over the pandemic Your also seeing inflation busting executive pay and bonuses because over 50% of the inflation can be attributed to massive increases in corporate profits

  7. we shall fight them on the beaches and in the ITV studios He flew back to lie about lying in the TV debate - sums him and his party up really My dad was a paratrooper in the war Tuesday left me angry because all he did was gaslight and deliberately mislead the public in Johnsonian fashion but this just left me feeling hollow

  9. Cutting tax doesnt boost growth We have 50 years of data showing that the bulk of these cuts drives inequality people at the bottom get screwed especially on low income Currently since 2010 average wages are -6.1% complete economic stagnation with reduced incomes how have the millionaire class fared ? In 2022, total millionaire wealth stood at $208.3 trillion, accounting for 45.8% of global wealth. That represents a 138% increase from 2011, when millionaires held $87.5 trillion in wealth

  26. Choice 1 Regulatory alignment no border Choice 2 Non alignment hard border if Choice 2 Border down the Irish sea or hard Border in NI (Not happening due to Good Friday agreement) There is no choice 3 or maybe a tech solution or maybe we didn't know what we were signing, while I think Jonson's cabinet are a talentless even they can work out the above. For whatever reason Johnson wanted a no deal.

Zehawai- tax dodging Sunak - wife's used non dom status to avoid tax Javid - used non dom status to avoid tax Last 3 Chancellor's Is it now a required badge to serve in the second highest office in government? What's Jermy Hunt done? That didn't age well just looked him up and in 2019 he was reminded of dodgy stuff Quote Reporters  reminded him of the time he broke company laws aimed at preventing money laundering and tax evasion.

  30. Couple of years back we started a major refurbishment and extension to our 1935 property and I had quite a Net Zero journey with it the additional cost for these over standard building was around 10-15% Solar Thermal tied to a large new type hot water tank provides 75% of hot water of your energy bill about 20% is spent on water heating. Double insulation using a product called SuperQuilt and all the floors had insulation + Floorquilt heating went off in April didn't come back on till end of November Underfloor heating runs at low temperatures uses around 40% less energy than a radiator system would especially given the main extension has a vaulted ceiling Replacement windows all with the latest glass technology All the stuff I've listed should be in new builds the Regs are still C+ standard

  31. This was from Simon Case the same person that blocked her promotion because of the partygate report The story of Gray’s appointment began with Sunak’s reshuffle in February, where Kemi Badenoch increased her international trade portfolio to include business. As a result, she requested Gray to be her department’s Permanent Secretary. This role is the most senior civil servant of a given department or ministry. However, according to the Daily Express, it appears Cabinet Secretary Simon Case vetoed Gray’s candidacy on a technicality because she was “not of the right grade to be promoted to permanent secretary”. The impact of this was devastating for Gray.

  32.  @gsuzuki6138  'When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus.'

  33. Such as the UK chancellor using tax loopholes to benefit his families finances? Or setting favourable tax policies that protect unearned income from increases?
    13
  34. the Tories have abandoned any meaningful renewable strategy. For the record there's around a 100 billion in fossil subsidies in various budgets. Renewables are 2.5 times cheaper than its nearest rival nuclear The UK energy sector will make 170 billion in excess UNTAXED profits over 2 years And The Tories are getting donations from the fossil companies
    12
  35. Rhishi froze them till 2028 then burnt 20 billion in an unfunded NI cut. Labour are backed into a corner on not raising employees NI and tax
    12
  36. 80% on benefit are working poor, the numbers of those not working at all are really small (50,000) we have a system where people on benefit are trapped on minimum wage unable to get out of the poverty trap. What is currently being done in your name is the spread of a low wage economy trapping people into economic slavery working but barely able to survive.

  37.  @indianrider9099  the media is owned by the billionaire class there not going to promote labour get of your lazy backside and find out what labour proposals are instead of carping
    12
  38. Because there not allowed to spread lies and conspiracy theories dressed up as news
    12
  39. Where also processing less than 20,000 cases per year and numbers in the system went from 10,000 in 2010 to 80,000 in 2022 with 80% granted asylum there not allowed to work till their cases are resolved creating a huge fiscal drag for political reasons. Rwanda is just Kabuki theatre and a complete waste of money

  40. They downed 2 Russian special forces troop planes yesterday killing 400 soldiers total the losses are mounting attack / defend stats tend to favour the defender, when clearing a city even more so. Remember Kiev is the size of Chicago if the defenders won't surrender then it could drag on the only way then is for artillery to level it.

  41. we won't need one at this rate there dropping like rancid flies

  42. Boris is highlighting the complete inability of Tories to run an economy this goes back to 2010 and is the culmination of 12 years of bad economic policies.
    11
  43. RMT workers average 30k there are multiple executives across the rail industry earning over 1 million all subsidised by the tax payer
    10
  44.  @dsutherlarach  Why is the government subsidising million pound salaries and bonuses without batting an eyelid but when lower paid workers want a raise its all there not worthy times are tough we need to tighten our belts. Maybe a review of executive pay and a hefty % reduction till the top people only earn 20x the bottom
    10
  45. Im a pensioner on low income due to fiscal drag my effctive tax rate has gone from 20% to 33% He's talking complete BS

  46. Yea well he's pushing his luck stealing nuclear secrets then waving them at Rando guests behaving like an 11 year old
    10
  47. everyone needs processing so what's your point we keep this facade of pretending we can ship them off somewhere while burning through 8 billion a year on soapbox rhetoric?
    10
  48. he doesn't but at least he has a degree in economics and there will be an economy left in 2 years

  49. The SNP wanted a vote on a ceasefire they got one and it was passed unanimously why isn't he happy?

  50. ​​ @markohenry5891  debt to gdp was 62% in 2010 after 9 years of Austerity and Cameron's corporate tax giveaways it was 92% with near zero growth and an average fall in real average wages of 3% The worst decade economically since the Napolionic wars
