Today is my remaining voting fathers last day of work

Was 66 last week, is lucky he is at retirement age, has decent pensions

Didn't want to retire

But the company has worked for who makes parts for UK built cars

Is moving its operations to Spain & Vietnam because of Brexit
You can scream and shout its not Brexit all you want, your wrong.

They make parts EV cars need as well, in fact EV cars use more of the parts so its was a win/win situation for them

They had the UK built Honda EV contract for a lot of the parts

And then Brexit happened
FYI because someone will ask, the 3 areas around this factory

Manchester, Trafford and Stockport voted remain
Companies supplied

Honda
Nissian
JLR
And some Renault models built in factories on mainland Europe

Churchill wrote to his foreign secretary, Anthony Eden, on 21 October 1942:

"Hard as it is to say now.. I look forward to a United States of Europe, in which the barriers between the nations will be greatly minimised and unrestricted travel will be possible." Image
Zurich 19 September 1946 Sir Winston Churchill

"We must build a kind of United States of Europe.. The structure of the United States of Europe, if well and truly built, will be such as to make the material strength of a single state less important.. If at first all the States of Europe are not willing or able to join the Union, we must nevertheless proceed to assemble and combine those who will and those who can."
Churchill At London’s Albert Hall, in May 1947, just a few months after his Zurich speech, Churchill spoke as Chairman and Founder of the United Europe Movement to ‘present the idea of a United Europe in which our country will play a decisive part.

This is how it works

You deliberately make people panic with £6k fuel bills

Do nothing for 90 day

Limit bills to £2.5k

= surge in opinion polls

Steal £200bn of public money, give to power companies to subsidise bills coming down

The public to pay back + interest= #TrussTax Image
£200bn from the telegraph

"Liz Truss sails into uncharted waters – without Bank of England support
Borrowing will balloon under new PM's plan to foot £200bn energy bill"

telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/…
The correct solution is a #windfalltax on the energy companies excess profits

A translation of an opinion piece that was on the RIA news in Russian.

Aimed at the Russian people.

Its hard reading and its completely horrific.

But this is what Putin's media is saying to the Russian people to get them to back his genocide

A moment of you time please

@BorisJohnson's NI Tax hike is very unlikely to end up in social care

They will find a way to funnel it to Tory donors like they did with Covid19 #PPE

It affects the poorest the most

It's the #PollTax all over again

In effect it's the #PoorTax
A big chunk if it will end up going straight into the #BrexitTax black hole.

Trump negotiated directly with the Taliban excluding the Afghan Govt and NATO allies

Not Biden
Trump allowed the release of 5000 Taliban prisoners NATO had spent the last 20 years capturing

Giving them a year to re-arm and recruit

Almost a full year before Biden was sworn in as President
Trump refused to allow Biden's incoming administration to be briefed on the Afghanistan situation

Short version of the Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

In the late 70s the Shah of Iran ordered and paid for 1500 Shir 2 tanks from the UK

Paid £400m for them
#FreeNazanin
The Shah was overthrown in 1979 and Iran became the Islamic Republic of Iran

Iran still wanted the Shir 2 tanks it had paid money for

But the Govt said nope and kept the money and supplied no tanks
#FreeNazanin
Fast forward to 2016, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe visits her mother in Iran with her 22m old daughter in tow on a 100% family visit.

As she was about to board the plane back to the UK she was arrested
