PARLIAMENT - The price of fish & chips in the UK is now £10.88 per portion.

This is the taxpayer subsidised Dining menu in Parliament.

Where Not one main course, including steak costs over £10.

Because we aren’t all in this together 🤡

True leadership means respect for partners and allies. Even for the smaller and weaker ones. Never arrogance. Dear friends, think about it.

[Prof. Devi Sridhar @devisridhar]

The biggest modern con is politicians convincing people that their lives are harder because of immigrants.
Instead of the increasing number of billionaires & wealth concentration at the top. Politics too often about protecting the billionaires instead of normal people.

[Janet Saffrette @janetsaffrette]

Really?!
This is exactly what the world does not need.
Can things get any worse?

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:

December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.

February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.

July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.

February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.

U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.

~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.

The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.

America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.

Slava Ukraina.

@Matt_Pinner Good morning 🌄

[Janet Saffrette @janetsaffrette]

@GuillermElodie Nothing and no-one is perfect, but I'm very relieved to have a government that's working and governing the country, rather than syphoning off as much of our money for their benefit.

[Janet Saffrette @janetsaffrette]

@Matt_Pinner Pizza, coffee, cakes and puddings........

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza?

Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen.

This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

WHO: “The systematic dismantling of the health system in #Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care”. And still UK sells arms to Israel - it’s just obscene

[Janet Saffrette @janetsaffrette]

Shameful

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Every massive Russian strike requires time for preparation. It is never a spontaneous decision. It is a deliberate choice – not only of targets but also of timing and date.

Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas for an attack. What could be more inhumane? Over 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, and more than a hundred attack drones. The targets are our energy infrastructure. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine.

According to preliminary reports, our defenders managed to shoot down more than 50 missiles and a significant number of drones. Unfortunately, there have been hits. As of now, there are power outages in several regions. Power engineers are working to restore power supply as soon as possible.

I thank everyone who is working for the country, who is on combat duty, who is protecting our skies. We will restore the maximum. Russian evil will not break Ukraine and will not spoil Christmas.

It is clear that @elonmusk needs to stay out of British politics.
