Zelensky criticized the US decision allowing Russian diesel sales, saying sanctions relief without clear, lasting de-escalation would strengthen Moscow. “Permission for Russia to sell petroleum products is an investment in the war that must be ended, not prolonged,” he said. #Ukraine

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Billionaire David Reuben claiming he quit Britain for Monaco over potential wealth taxes—when records show he already moved years ago—exposes the myth of the "super-rich exodus." Threats to flee are just economic blackmail to block fair taxation.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

John Healey will, according to reports, head into the Budget with a £4bn to £6.5bn chunk of his fiscal headroom having mysteriously gone walkabouts. The cause? A sharp drop in immigration to the UK. Almost as though migrants aren’t all just wandering around devouring taxes for shits and giggles.

Net Migration if Falling - now the Treasury needs to Pay the Bill for it.
After years of promising that fewer migrants would relieve pressure on Britain, Labour is discovering that cutting migration also means cutting workers, taxpayers and economic headroom.

This is deeply concerning. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has sent observers to monitor every U.S. federal election for the past two decades. Governors need to pick up the phone and find out if an invitation extended by leaders of states can fill that federal gap.

Abolishing inheritance tax would be a mistake. There are better taxes to cut. Evidence that IHT significantly discourages saving is limited; there's stronger evidence of an effect the other way - large inheritances lead heirs to work less. And it's right we tax wealth.

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.
