This is such a stupid, shameless lie for *many* reasons . . . But does this dishonest idiot think parents would watch their child get on a school bus on Monday and not even think to question their whereabouts until they showed up again on Thursday? What a fool.

It seems very likely that the US has decided to facilitate Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians to try to force Ukraine to surrender. Betrayal. And if they can do that to Ukraine, they can do it to any ally. We should take note.

Trump is the most catastrophic shit stain on American history, doing everything an enemy state asks and abandoning allies for personal greed. Wipe out his control in the midterms for everyone’s sake, or better still impeach him now for being Putin’s obedient idiot.

Okay, so Reform is now actively advocating for the armed forces to murder unarmed civilians as official policy. At what point does the media at large stop treating these people as anything but fascistic far right thugs who under any normal functioning system would be condemned as extremists.

Hard Brexit
could cost
£66bn a year


Leaked Treasury papers reveal lost revenue


Sam Coates Deputy Political Editor
Ollver Wright Policy Editor


Cabinet ministers are being warned
that the Treasury could lose up_to
£66 billion a year in tax revenues under
"hard Brexit", according to leaked
government papers.


GDP.could fall by as much as 9.5 per
cent if Britain leaves the single market
and hastorely on WorldTrade Organi-
sation rules for trading with the conti-
nent, compared with ifit stayed within
the EU,theforecasts show.Such a steep
drop in revenue would force ministers
to slash public spending or raise taxes.
The £66 billion drop, contained in a
draft cabinet committee paper seen by
The Times, is nearly a tenth of the
£716 billion that the government is pro-
jected to collect in taxes this year,and is
equivalent to 65 per cent of the annual
budget of NHS England.


Business leaders are_increasingly
worried that the UK could fail to nego-
tiate a deal with the 27 remaining EU
members by the time it leaves the
union, and will face a "cliff edge" of
trade tariffs and barriers,


Several cabinet ministers who sup-
ported Remain are stepping up efforts
to prioritise business concerns and the
economy in Brexit discussions, fearing
that Leave supporters fail to realise the
scale of potential damage, It comes as:;
○ Theresa May faces a potential legal
challenge by a group of Conservative
MPs over the decision to begin Brexit
negotiations without parliament's
approval. The prime minister's spokes-
man ruledoutgiving MPs a voteyester-
day,saying thatitwould"second guess'
the will of the British people.
○ Dominic Grieve, the former attor-
ney-general, said that unless the gov,
ernment could agree,a deal supported
by parliament it would not survive.
