Meloni keeps sending $$ to Ukraine war while Italians get slammed w/ high costs high taxes stagnant wages high bills. it’s time to FREEZE this war and START peace talks NOW
I’m giving thousands of pubs, clubs and music venues a 20% cut in business rates.
I won’t stand by while these cherished local spaces disappear, replaced by boarded-up windows and ‘For Sale’ signs.
They’re the heart of our communities and it’s time we backed them.
Under Meloni govt this summer popsicles ice cream pool membership passes beach umbrellas beach chairs all costing MORE—hardworking Italians r fed up w/ Meloninflation I say enough is enough
A moment that moved me to tears. Andy Burnham’s first instruction as Prime Minister as he enters Downing Street will be to end rough sleeping in this country.
A huge opportunity for a Housing First strategy from a man who gets it.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham says he'll oversee the biggest change to Britain in 40 years - with a new political and economic model.
In his first speech on the steps of Downing Street without a podium, he pledges:
- To provide immediate cost of living support, with plans and how they'll be funded announced from tomorrow to give people "breathing space"
- A ten-year plan to reverse privatisation and deindustrialisation
- To honour defence spending plans announced by his predecessor and stick to the fiscal rules
- To end rough sleeping
- To "bring back hope"
I congratulate @andyburnham on his new appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Right Honourable Burnham takes office at a difficult time for the British monarchy: I wish him success in steering the British people out of the crisis and into a new era of prosperity
The difference in style is astonishing.
Keir Starmer was a wooden Mr Lectern.
Andy Burnham breezed through his first speech as Prime Minister with no lectern and without notes.
Sono d’accordo. In America per ogni seggio parlamentare ci sono delle primarie in cui i cittadini, tra vari candidati, scelgono il candidato ufficiale del partito. Dovremmo fare così anche noi. Facciamo le primarie e chi le vince entra in lista, è un modo per sviare la legge.
Ieri, alle Primarie delle Idee in Puglia, ho voluto rilanciare una proposta sulla quale credo il centrosinistra e, comunque, la casa riformista debbano aprire una riflessione seria, anche alla luce della sempre minore partecipazione al voto delle cittadine e dei cittadini.
Se la legge elettorale continuerà a negare ai cittadini il diritto di scegliere i propri parlamentari, dobbiamo assumerci la responsabilità di farlo noi.
Per questo auspico, innanzitutto, che il centrosinistra voti a favore dell’introduzione delle preferenze quando la legge elettorale sarà discussa al Senato. Ma se ciò non dovesse accadere, dobbiamo adottare regole chiare e trasparenti: selezionare i candidati attraverso le parlamentarie, superare definitivamente il sistema delle pluricandidature, che finisce per indebolire il rapporto di fiducia tra elettori ed eletti, e fare in modo che ogni candidata e ogni candidato si presenti nel proprio territorio di riferimento.
Solo così possiamo ricostruire un rapporto di fiducia tra cittadini e istituzioni, restituendo agli elettori il diritto di scegliere davvero chi li rappresenta e ai rappresentanti la responsabilità di rispondere alla propria comunità.
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
Donald Trump and his administration have done nothing to bring down the cost of housing, health care, child care, food, or gas. Donald Trump and his administration got America into a war the people do not want.
He is attempting to distract you from that reality.
Chris Christie reveals the bad advice he gave President Trump that caused Trump to stop talking to him.
"I said, 'You need to call Biden, congratulate him, invite him to the White House, shake his hand.' And I said, 'If you do that, you'll have a good reputation with the American people and whatever else you want to do with your life, it'll be wide open to you.
'If you don't do that,' and this is where I was wrong, 'all that's over.'
And he said, 'Well, I'm not going to do that. What else you got?' And I said, 'I don't have anything else.'
And he goes, 'Then I have nothing to talk to you about.'
And we have not spoken since."
@jayplemons He was right. Trump had 2 opportunities to govern like an independent, helping all Americans. People like him personally. But instead he's alienated more than half the country and will be remembered for being nasty and decisive. It's a shame, he could have brought folks together.
@GiorgiaMeloni continua a prendere in giro gli italiani: ha detto che grazie ad una maggiore flessibilità concessa dalla Commissione europea, il governo spenderà 14-15 miliardi di euro in tre anni per calmierare i prezzi dell’energia. 14 mld non bastano bastano in un anno!
Se Giorgia Meloni non intende dimettersi, il Presidente della Repubblica dovrebbe chiederle le dimissioni almeno formali in modo tale da aprire una crisi di governo.
I’ve written a book about my time as President. It’s called PROMISE ME, AMERICA. It’s coming out November 17th and is available for preorder now.
