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
Trump bragged he did not need a Afghanistan exit plan
Trump boasted that the US troop withdrawal could not ben stopped
This was caused by Trump on purpose.

Biden is not doing a good job of dealing with it though.
Should have Biden flooded US troops back in?

Afghan army cease to exist.

And the Taliban thanks to Trump had most of a year to re-arm and train as an army

No way could enough troops been brought in fast enough to hold the airport and the Taliban would have shot down the planes

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.

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

Short version

UK/Norway fishing negotiations failed

Cause DEFRA (@DefraGovUK) under George Eustice MP (fmr UKIP)

Point blank refused to grant Norway reciprocal right in UK waters in return for the UK to have fishing rights in Norway waters
This refusal was purely to keep the Tory donors and mates, the UK Codfathers millionaires happy.

FYI, its was the Codfathers all along who where ruining UK fishing, not the EU, but the EU was an easy scapegoat.

The EU had no influence or input on this now failed deal

1/5 I think the UK should become a republic

What's the point of a monarch with powers stop an out of control rogue Govt if they're scared to use them?
2/5 Parliamentary seats should be redrawn as best is possible to all be the same size population wise

MPs should be elected on PR with a run off of the two with highest votes if no one got 50% plus of the 1st vote
3/5 The lords needs to go

Replaced with another elected body, the make up such I'm not sure about, but say based on regions and not seats
