After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
@10DowningStreet Is this a spoof account? Or do you actually believe those items represent real change for a functioning government with a parliamentary majority? That's stuff you should have achieved in the first couple of days in power. What a disappointment.
The #RachelReeves story is amazing. If you have half a brain you'd sort out all your property/tax affairs after your colleague got caught cheating. My concern is that these people aren't just mediocre at their jobs they are also mediocre in life.
- Buys 2nd home but a week earlier takes herself off the deed of 1st home to save £40k+ taxes on new home
- Lies about it when found out
- Admits she cheated
This is the deputy prime minister trying to raise property/income/all kind of #taxes to pay for #welfare#resignangela
Amazing how political messaging has adapted to trumpism #maga so that a former human rights lawyer like @Keir_Starmer posts something like this on Instagram!

@jon_trickett if your plan is to tax the "rich" just keep in mind that top 1% making 190-200k+ in #UK pays 30% of overall taxes. As you go up the £££ bracket you find highly mobile people who may just decamp. That means £ 💸💸💸 = no more £benefits.
@jon_trickett instead of quoting random episodes look at the stats. Over the 5Y period #UK 2019-2024 disability/incapacity claimants benefits increased by 39%, 28% respectively. NO #OECD country experienced anything like that. How do you plan to pay for that? #labourlaland
No, Sir Keir no!
2 brothers with same genetic disorder.
The older fell ill, is disabled, and receives PiP
The younger will have the same fate.
But he won't receive PiP because of the "concessions"
Two brothers, same disability, treated differently,
Wrong, wrong wrong
@repubblica basta con questi articoli #clickbait allarmanti. Per gli Italiani/Europei non cambia molto. Il visto+lavoro per venire in #UK già serve da anni e se non parli inglese il lavoro a £35k annui non te lo da nessuno. Pago l'abbonamento per notizie non allarmismi e gossip
In a world of rising borders, a glimmer of hope. Allowing young, educated Europeans into the #UK boosts our economy, filling skill /labour gaps, boosting tax revenues, driving innovation, growth sectors. A smart, positive move if approved. #EU https://t.co/RMwbrOkjYu
c20 years after studying the effect of #USA#tariffs on the global economy in the 1930s, I feel like I am living my own #smoothhawley tariff act moment. Just a reminder to everyone that the long term effect of #tradewars are unpredictable and not always welcome.

So #privateschools will now be able to claim back #VAT for capital projects over the past 10y! That's a lot of money and a lot of work for #HMRC which I am sure will need to hire more people. Does this policy make any money in the long term @Keir_Starmer? https://t.co/zLBmsjp0JU
I am confused. #uk#labour abandoned the #Rwanda plan, losing hundreds of millions because it was inhumane. But now it's totally fine using #Meloni plan to offshore/process asylum seekers in #Albania. I hope there is a logical explanation for this.
#Maldives troubles bring back memories of another #Islamicfinance instrument default. Back in 2012 #Arcapita filed for Chapter 11 after it failed to refinance its $1.1B #Murabaha facility due to a hedge fund (Fortelus - RIP) blocking the process.
