Good morning dear friends, he is today’s #Motification. I’ve spoken to Mo @helpcatsmsallam and he’s fine but it was a bad night, several buildings were bombed in his area. He went to the market early and got a good parcel of vegetables for about $110 so prices are a bit less.

Whilst a ceasefire is very welcome news, it's problematic. For Biden to start directing a normalisation with Israel/Saudi is disingenuous #GazaGenocide Under the terms Netanyahu has 60 days to withdraw troops at which point Trump is sworn in. Buying for time? www.ft.com/content/6110...

Totally agree the minimum wage is not close to good enough, after pension it's around £1600 a month for a full time worker. Even living without big overheads is so difficult as soon as an emergency hits that person will instantly end up in debt.

Last time Trump imposed tariffs on China They retaliated against American soybean farmers-who then lost all their Chinese buyers And the farmers had to get bailed out by subsidies So not only were the tariffs an abject failure They wound up costing the American people $23 billion in subsidies

The government failed to confirm Netanyahu would be immediately arrested in the UK, despite an ICC warrant. They admitted UK-made F-35 parts could violate international law, yet continue selling arms. When will the government end its complicity in genocide & end all arms sales?

This is just a gentle reminder of who the status quo inheritance tax wise works for (there’s a reason the very largest estates pay less than some far smaller) & that proper facts should form part of proper journalism when reporting an entirely legit inheritance tax debate
