MAGA cracks as Trump loses control of GOP

How will current events, including the Iran war & oil price rises, affect Trump & the MAGA movement? A Journalist & Economist discuss. youtu.be/xgCmU7Uj_O8?si… #IranWar #Iran #oilandgas #Trump #MAGA

@SaltyGoat17 So, if you're against corruption - which is what you imply - how about Trump's corruption?? Plenty of reading on the subject available from numerous sources... reddit.com/r/moderatepoli… time.com/7383185/profit…

Starting to make sense

Mindboggling corruption of Trump presidency: BILLIONS made already & much more likely to come from bribes & conflicts of interest to crypto as a means of under-the-table purchasing of favour/s! 100 acts of corruption in 100 days: warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press… #TrumpCorruption #trump

@RichardTomo5 Sure, we're so 'sovereign' with mad Trump, US tariffs & US control over our nukes... #Brexit was sold more on the economics, which your lot abandoned when that proved utterly wrong - later adopting 'sovrintee innit!' as the substitute - more absolute unicorn nonsense! #RejoinEU

Keir Starmer is quietly preparing Britain for EU military alignment. Not cooperation - alignment. That means decisions increasingly shaped in Brussels, not the UK. We did not vote to become a strategic subsidiary of the European Union. We voted to be a sovereign nation. Britain should lead on the global stage, not drift into an EU army. @_AdvanceUK

@simonlloyd100 @dailybritainonx The majority won't leave. Show me evidence of an equivalent situation where a moderate wealth tax led to a majority of the richest leaving! You can't, because it's a myth. Educate yourself, see my post on such myths & stop parroting a narrative designed by... the rich!

@BrightKnight15 @dailybritainonx What would happen if the majority of top earners left? Look at who pays taxes...he's an idiot

Would Zack make a good PM?

@peacenotwar1957 @dailybritainonx All the wealth would never be gone, that's a moronic statement. Just for starters, people on lower incomes spend more as a proportion of their incomes, which means less going abroad & more into the economy, in turn driving the multiplier effect.

@BrightKnight15 @dailybritainonx How about just lowering taxes on those on lowest incomes.. what happens when all the wealth has gone there’s no one left to give you a bloody job

@PeanutKenny @dailybritainonx Not Socialism, Democratic Socialism. E.g. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. Do you know the difference? #DemocraticSocialism

@BrightKnight15 @dailybritainonx Because socialism has worked so well in all those places around the world it’s been tried! You lot are like battered wives who keep going back for more, problem is you take us with you and we take more of his drunken punches than you do!

An extraordinary examination of the chaos & lies coming from the Trump cesspit about the Iran war, by brilliant channel Meidas Touch. Incredibly, Iran is currently being trusted more by major media than Trump on war reports, such is the extent of the BS! #IranWar #Iran #Trump

@BladeoftheS And yet the right don't learn...

What Privatisation has done for you. Most expensive Energy in the world. Dirtest most expensive Water in Europe in England. Slowest most expensive Mail ever. Slowest most expensive Trains in Europe Least number of Hospital beds ever.

@BladeoftheS It's extraordinary how right-wing parties are all about short-term greed, which inevitably leads to long-term decline, corruption & debt.

The Norwegian Government has $2tn, the UK Government -$3.2tn. We had far more oil and gas than them. Of course they kept theirs and have a fortune, Margaret Thatcher sold ours and we have crippling debt.

@floboflo He promised closer ties before Labour were elected, and they won a massive majority - so he has a democratic mandate for it. But you won't accept that because you only pretend to care about democracy when you win.

If Keir Starmer goes against the will of the British people and takes us back into Europe then I am done with this country and joining my parents in Spain! Disgusting!!!!

@dailybritainonx Starmer promised closer ties before Labour were elected, and they won a massive majority - so he has a democratic mandate for it. But Brexiters won't accept that because they only pretend to care about democracy when they win.

Keir Starmer is pushing for deeper EU ties again amid global instability - is this common sense or a Brexit betrayal? 🇬🇧🇪🇺

@TrishHodkinson He promised closer ties before Labour were elected, and they won a massive majority - so he has a democratic mandate for it. But you won't accept that because you only pretend to care about democracy when you win.

How dare he. How dare he make closer ties with the EU when 17.4 million people voted to leave those very said ties. HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!

All those who say a wealth tax wouldn't work, here's a pretty comprehensive myth-buster, with examples of how smart taxation HAS worked already. Proposals are to tax on wealth over 10 MILLION QUID! Very reasonable! ⚖️ taxjustice.uk/blog/wealth-ta…. #WealthTax #TaxTheRich #TaxJustice

@ThePosieParker @EleanorHarding Evidence shows that raising taxes on the wealthiest has a negligible effect on numbers leaving or national income.

We have to accept that many people who have vast sums of wealth are both greedy and careful with money. They are probably a little exploitative and spend a lot of their time jet setting around, they can live elsewhere and still see their families more than some people who only live a few hours away. When you're rich everywhere is a first class flight away. Economics aren't moral or even just, but they have to work. If you discourage people who contribute the majority of our tax revenue to live here, whether you think they're nice people or not, they will leave. This makes the entire country poorer. Whether they're sociopaths doesn't alter what happens when taxes get too high.

Zack Polanski gets a standing ovation from the NEU in Brighton today after pledging to tax the rich to give more money to schools

And with more turbines & solar being installed, more efficient than ever before, even a light breeze on a cloudy day is generating significantly. With modern smart grids & interconnectors, we could even be exporting power soon on a regular basis. The future of energy is bright!

65% renewables. 35% dinosaurs. That’s roughly the grid mix. “But what happens at night when the wind isn’t blowing?” An line parrotted far too often, revealing ignorance. Simply, we use a mix of what’s needed; gas, nuclear, imports, sun, wind, storage. #renewables #energy

@masuzafi Funny how Piers didn't even seem to know that the UK is primarily a services economy!
