Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

Democide in our times

Austerity, wage & public service cuts kill, but are govt policy.

Millions can't get good food, housing, education, healthcare, pension.

Men in poorer UK areas live 9.7 yrs less than those in least deprived areas. Women 8 years.
