Looking at the inevitable raft of plain nasty m, ignorsnt, arrogant posts under here, no wonder Labour are afraid to do the right thing by innocent children. However, THEY MUST! Tax the richest to pay for it!
20,819 children have fallen into poverty since Labour came to power because of the 2-child limit on means-tested benefits. A parent gets no money for a 3rd, 4th etc child age 7 or less (born 6/4/17 or later) losing them £287.92 a month. @CPAGUK says brings 109 a day into poverty
"The Baltics should belong to Russia", according to Russian MP and deputy head of the Defense Committee of the Duma, Aleksei Zhuravlev.
In particular, he claimed that Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania was rightfully Russian, as it was part of the Russian Empire.
The deputy also noted that the Suwałki gap could be useful for Russia, as it would provide convenient supply routes to the Kaliningrad region. He urged the Lithuanian authorities to "hold their tongues," adding that the Lithuanian army would not withstand a confrontation with Russia for even a single day.
These statements are no longer just coming from propagandists on television; they are being voiced by Russian officials. Russia has discarded its last inhibitions and no longer pretends to care about international law.
Russia has become a country hated and feared by all its neighbors. It is unfamiliar with the language of culture and civilization. Its only method of communication is violence: threats, sabotage, bombings, and war. Russia's arguments are occupation and genocide.
If only this from the Sunday Times were new - the truth is even worse: that trusts have been advertising for “corridor nurses” for several years. A horrendous illustration of how overwhelmed hospitals are. This isn’t “flu” - it’s flu + lack of beds + lack of social care 🧵

Say it with me now: the Tory government scrapped our reserve gas storage facilities. The fact that we are reportedly in the shit now is a result of their actions , not the current government's energy policies.
“When we take collective action and organise to find a way forward, our views start to shift. It’s not as though we become progressive overnight, but we start to see through the tactics of billionaires to the economic interests that drive their politics.”

Our soldiers have captured North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region. Two soldiers, though wounded, survived and were transported to Kyiv, where they are now communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine.
This was not an easy task: Russian forces and other North Korean military personnel usually execute their wounded to erase any evidence of North Korea’s involvement in the war against Ukraine.
I am grateful to the soldiers of Tactical Group No. 84 of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as our paratroopers, who captured these two individuals.
As with all prisoners of war, these two North Korean soldiers are receiving the necessary medical assistance.
I have instructed the Security Service of Ukraine to grant journalists access to these prisoners. The world needs to know the truth about what is happening.

MAGAs saying we do not have free speech here in Europe.. we do.. we have free speech. But what you need to understand is that there is a huge difference between free speech and the right to spread mis information and lies about everything and everyone you do not like..
Some things in life are far more important than material possessions….
The intense fire surprised Mario Alberto, who is a deaf man, in the middle of the night. His humble house and his vehicle were on fire, but his only concern was his best friend, Gordo, who was still inside his house.
Desperate, he even tried to put out the fire with a hose but the flames were destroying everything, including his hopes of finding his dog alive. He kept pointing out to the firefighters that nothing mattered more than his pet and when he thought he would never see him again, suddenly in the midst of the raging flames, one of them came out with Gordo.
The look on Mr Alberto’s face tells you everything you need to know!
