Under orders from Trump, Speaker Johnson has deliberately delayed aid to #Ukraine for months - and now he's talking the talk. Get on with it man, because you have bathtubs full of Ukrainian blood on your hands.

#Drug #shortages , now normal in UK, made worse by #Brexit , report warns.

Some shortages are so serious they are imperilling the health and even lives of patients with serious illnesses, pharmacy bosses say

#Brexit makes you ill.

Farrukh It's basic differential calculus FFS!

The rate of change of prices is positive. And while today's inflation is lower, the higher inflation of earlier is now baked into today's prices—it hasn't gone away.

And of course food inflation is higher than general inflation.

Farrukh It took less than a minute and a half to go from food prices coming down to food prices going up

Thank god she’s nowhere near the Treasur…oh wait

Laura Trott makes it REALLY CLEAR to Marxists Fred Balls & Susanna Reid:
The lower rate of Inflation means prices are coming down even though they are in fact still going up.
This means your food costs less even though the price of it is still increasing✅

On @gmb Laura Trott 'inflation is coming down, food prices are coming down '
Ed Balls corrected her. Prices have NOT come down

To be clear, 'goods/services' which cost
£100 when Johnson became PM would cost you
£131.10 today.

Tory numbers 👍🏼

So, I’m petitioning tribal council to have this outhouse named after Trump.

Who supports me in this endeavor? 🖐🏾

Such an illuminating social media from Trump saying he thought there were unlimited challenges. He's confused b/t peremptory and challenges for cause. But it's not just ignorant but perfectly, Trumpy imperious--he thought he could reject any and all until he gets his preferences.

“Inflation was 11% when I became Prime Minister” says Rishi Sunak proudly

Imagine his shock when someone reminds him that shortly before he became Prime Minister he had been chancellor for more than two years

' #Brexit champion Nigel #Farage said Donald #Trump dislikes #Brussels so much it makes him look like the #EU ’s best friend in comparison.'

There is a sense in which #Trump & #populism is a worse risk for #Europe than #Putin .

You guys. We shouldn't be celebrating the epic collapse of Trump Media. This is serious business.

Merchan instructed Blanche to tell Trump to stop such behavior. As Merchan spoke, Trump was slumped in his seat, sitting as though he were in a lounge chair.

Merchan just admonished Trump, telling Blanche: 'Your client was audibly uttering something...I won’t tolerate that. I will not have any jurors intimated in this courtroom. I want to make that crystal clear.'

When Trump's lawyer questioned a juror about Facebook posts, the former president reacted audibly and visibly.

After she leaves, Justice Merchan angrily warns him via his lawyer:

'I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. I want to make that crystal clear.'
