Tesco makes nearly Β£4bn profit.

Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about Β£600m a year.

Why isn't Tesco paying?

Europe must now consider the USA to be an enemy.

And the most dangerous one in the world.

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay Β£3bn a year more for US drugs.

The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.

Today that deal has been broken by the USA.

The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Donald Trump is furious people are calling him Pedophile Protector.

DO NOT CALL him Pedophile Protector.
Definately do NOT RT/like posts calling him Pedophile Protector.

It is now clear that Trump-style tariffs have objectively failed at delivering manufacturing job growth in the US.

They just make things cost more.

Trump has declared a national emergency so he can personally steal the cash taken from Venezuela.

$2.5bn which would have gone to Congress is now his, so it will all go straight in his bank account.

Never has the US had a President who is so brazenly corrupt.

How did Gen Z become the most religious generation alive? "I remember when I was in school I would tell people I believed in God and they would be like 'you're a loser'. Now I couldn't be prouder, it's becoming more normal."

Woke up to lots more snow yesterday at camp on Ben Oss so we walked back out rather than push on for another two Munros. Visibility poor & snowed all day, tough going & waist deep in places.

Renee Good the mother of three killed by ICE for simply trying to drive away.

We need justice and it needs to start now.

Get the killer arrested.

The ICE agent who shot dead a woman because she dared to drive away from him is a big problem and he should spend the rest of his life in jail.

But the people defending him from justice, spreading lies about terrorism and self defence are the REAL problem.

Keir Starmer urged to rip up drug deal with 'bully' Donald Trump

Keir Starmer must tear up a "Trump tax" healthcare deal and plough money into fixing Britain's broken social care system instead, MPs have demanded.

Good luck to all of the brave saboteurs and monitors going out to protect wildlife from the hunts tomorrow.

And shame on all of the pathetic cowards who will be trying to kill foxes this Boxing Day and for every person watching on.

Greta Thunberg should have won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Instead of Trump's warmongering oil stealing puppet.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

It turns out this Truth Social post from Trump was meant to be a DM to Pam Bondi directing her to prosecute James Comey. OOPS. Can we somehow blame this on Joe Biden?
