What's wrong with Magnolia? Is it the sequence of letters printed on the tin or is it the actual shade of off-white that is the problem? I'm asking for a friend.

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

🚨 Ukrainian military officer Dmitry Tishetsky's question to the American people. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited
Dmytro Tyshetsky
Dmitry Tishetsky (@dmitry_tishetsky) Instagram account. 

"America, I have a question for you."

You chose Donald Trump as your president. And today, your president picked up the phone and called the world's number one terrorist. Not to demand justice. Not to hold him accountable. But to talk. To negotiate. To treat him like a legitimate leader.

So tell me how do you feel about that?

Would you have accepted a president who called Bin Laden after 9/11? Would you have justified sitting down with ISIS? Because that's exactly what just happened.

I've buried brothers because of Putin. I've seen civilians executed, children crushed under rubble, entire families wiped off the earth. And yet, Trump -your leader-just gave that monster a seat at the table.

For three years, Ukraine has been fighting for survival, standing on the front line of freedom. The American people have stood with us, and I will always be grateful for that. But now, your president stands with our enemy.

So I'll ask again-America, how do you feel about that?

HMRC hasn't prosecuted anyone for enabling tax evasion in 5 years. But it fined 95,000 people who dodged nothing, £100 each because their returns were slightly late. HMRC, pinching the pennies, ignoring the stolen Pounds.
