Rachel Reeves should refine fiscal rules to avoid emergency spending cuts, IMF says The organisation, which has been assessing the UK economy, upgrades its growth forecast this year to 1.2%

the brick in the nuts guy just got sentenced to two and half years in prison which makes this even funnier 😄

Just Stop Oil protestor Gaie Delap, 77 has been sent to prison for Christmas

RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
