I'm looking forward to bathing in Brexitears 😢 when they're reminded you can't just overturn an election result because you don't like it.

To quote every single Gammon Brexiteer in summer 2016: "It's the will of the people".

Now please politely shut up, Lee Anderson.

The Fawcett Society confirmed that Equal Pay Day 2024 is today.
Because of the UK Gender Pay Gap, women will effectively be working for free for the rest of the year, compared to male counterparts.

Equal Pay Day 2024 is 2 days earlier than last year, meaning the issue is getting worse.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

2024: Boris Johnson, "We'll have to wait and see if Donald Trump makes the world a safer place.. There are reasons for optimism"

2015: Boris Johnson, "Donald Trump is clearly out of his mind.. He is portraying ignorance that makes him unfit to be President of the United States"

Undocumented Immigrants in US Pay Nearly $100 Billion in Taxes Undocumented immigrants paid almost $100 billion of taxes, underscoring the importance of border policies on the country’s tax collections, according to a new report.

“In total, undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion, or roughly $9,000 per person, in taxes in 2022, the report shows. While their incomes are usually lower, they’re less likely to claim refunds or earn tax-preferred income”

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
