Reform deputy leader Richard Tice splitting time between Skegness and Dubai after partner leaves UK MP says says he is totally committed to his constituency after Isabel Oakeshott moved to the Emirates

People's problems in this country aren't caused by other people seeking asylum.
They're caused by disingenuous politicians begging you to give up your hard-fought for human rights.

Donald Trump avoids prison or fine in hush-money case sentencing But Donald Trump will still take office as the first US president with a felony conviction.

Trump is convicted but avoids any penalty (including prison) because he's going to be the next president. 🀷🏻

Trump ramps up threats to gain control of Greenland and Panama Canal The president-elect said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland.

Quite apart from the batshit crazy daily pronouncements from Trump and his followers, it's the profound lack of respect for other countries, their leaders and their peoples.
America voted for an idiot and a bully.

The realisation that a relatively few 'journalists' (press and TV) run the political narrative in this country overseen by their foreign owners.

Brexit cost UK Β£27bn in lost trade in first two years, review finds Despite fall in trade, LSE study says overall impact was more limited than OBR forecasters first estimated

The Brexit Curse:

Brexit cost UK Β£27bn in lost trade in first two years.

British exports fell by 6.4%, imports by 3.1%.

OBR forecast a 15% slump in trade, leading to a 4% reduction in national income, over the longer term.

Self-inflicted harm.

Rejoin the EU.

Good afternoon you lovely lot! It seems that dispatches have tried doing a hit piece on disabled people. I don't know how many times I have to say this, but benefits are not easy to claim, people don't get given free cars, and disabled people aren't the reason the economy is fucked!
