Our pensioners are at present, even under the triple lock considerably worse off than our fellow Europeans- & many others. Why is it always pensions & welfare benefits that are singled out? Bring in a wealth tax to fund the national social care service. ##labourisntlabouranymore

Trump says he took Venezuela's oil. Here's what actually happened.
Trump put Venezuelan revenues in a secretive bank account overseen by the U.S. government. It's a display of the Treasury's unaccountable power.
