I’m an old Brit living in rural France with my Irish wife. Been involved in politics for most of my life, & now I'm concentrating on politics of the UK, the EU, & the USA.Trump & Farage are the 2 people who make me angry because of their repeated lies!

This from a man who claims he can ‘reduce the prices’ of medications by 700%, 900%, 1,000%, & by 1,400%! Guess it can best be described as #TrumpMathLogic! The only ‘depression’ he can understand is when he doesn’t get ‘something’ out of any ‘deal’ he does!

Who’s does he think he’s kidding? Average of recent polls from the #NewYorkTimes found that #Trump’s average approval rating as of Oct. 7 is 37%, with 60% disapproving of his performance. A new State-by-State tracker from ‘Civiqs’ shows #Trump with a positive net approval ratings in just 11 States!

#KemiBadenoch seems determined to eliminate those like me who grew up within the #ToryParty believing sound ‘social policy’ should be created to provide the maximum possible support for those unable to help themselves. Those well able to help themselves should not be subsidised in any way!

Never forget what #DonaldJTrump said BEFORE January 6 2021 riot! Look at 2 quotes: Dec 30 2020: “We’re going to fight like hell. If you don’t fight, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Jan 3 2021: “They’re not taking this White House. We’re going to fight like hell.” That’s incitement!

Some pensioners are very wealthy! There are some in receipt of ‘final salary level’ pensions & there are others who’ve benefitted from huge ‘pension pots’ built up as a tax avoidance ruse! They should all be taxed a great deal more; so that many more of the poorest are taken out of tax altogether!

Burnham to pass law scrapping pension triple lock before next election. Risks handing advantage to opposition parties who will argue the opposite. Will alienate some senior voters. Risks Labour backbench rebellion, repeat of the Winter Fuel Payment episode. Numerous ways of funding triple lock.

#PUTIN has fired over 102,000 of #AttackDrones into #Ukrainian homes, schools, hospitals, shopping malls & public transport since #DonaldJTrump re-entered the #WH 621 days ago! There’s much #BloodOnTrumpHands because #PUTIN ONLY targets civilians throughout #Ukraine!

No former #President has ever faced so many lawsuits! More still against #DonaldJTrump are criminal probes & civil actions that scrutinize his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 Election. No former President has ever been indicted, much less 34 convictions, by a jury of his peers! (2 of 2)

No former #President has ever faced so many lawsuits! #DonaldJTrump faces a bevy of lawsuits & investigations, with more cases likely to follow. Some are civil suits stemming from his pre-presidential business dealings. Others defamation claims over years from women he allegedly assaulted. (1 of 2)

In Trump's small brain, he thinks "artificial" means "fake". It doesn't. It means "human created". The word comes from the Latin "artificium" - "a work of art; skill; theory, system.".

Not a referendum, please. Just a majority vote in Parliament to pass the law. Let the pathetic "Brexiteers" waste their time with pointless protests. We don't need another farce of lies on buses, or corrupt money buying votes like 2016. #r4today #ukpolitics #EU #Rejoin #Brexit #politicslive #wato

Looks to me as if #Trump is plotting to become a Trillionaire before he leaves Office. He’s already ‘stolen’ $Billions from the #UStaxpayers, so what’s to stop pinching even more? The mid-term results could give #Democrats the weapons to stop him, but will they use them as they should?

The problem is that these 🇷🇺 'hybride attacks' on Europe are cheap. How much does it cost to pay a couple of unemployed guys to dump some explosives in 'interesting locations'? Exactly❗
