Remember when we had a NORMAL president who wasn't an ill-mannered, lazy, unintelligent child rapist? Damn, I miss that.

It is a bad day to be running a Republican political campaign: Ukraine's drone strikes on Russian data centers are sending millions of suspected Russian social media bot accounts offline.

Everybody knew Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum - the evidence was there - but people were too afraid of Farage’s mob to say it. So it’s good to see Burnham finally speaking the truth.

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

By ā€œusā€ I of course mean not only the UK but the UK and all of its allies in Europe.

So America is on the side of Russia. And Russia is at war with us. No one is saying it but it means America is at war with us.

The Times from ten years ago this week.

They were wrong.

In fact Brexit is costing the UK economy roughly £100 billion a year.

Hard Brexit
could cost
Ā£66bn a year


Leaked Treasury papers reveal lost revenue


Sam Coates Deputy Political Editor
Ollver Wright Policy Editor


Cabinet ministers are being warned
that the Treasury could lose up_to
Ā£66 billion a year in tax revenues under
"hard Brexit", according to leaked
government papers.


GDP.could fall by as much as 9.5 per
cent if Britain leaves the single market
and hastorely on WorldTrade Organi-
sation rules for trading with the conti-
nent, compared with ifit stayed within
the EU,theforecasts show.Such a steep
drop in revenue would force ministers
to slash public spending or raise taxes.
The £66 billion drop, contained in a
draft cabinet committee paper seen by
The Times, is nearly a tenth of the
Ā£716 billion that the government is pro-
jected to collect in taxes this year,and is
equivalent to 65 per cent of the annual
budget of NHS England.


Business leaders are_increasingly
worried that the UK could fail to nego-
tiate a deal with the 27 remaining EU
members by the time it leaves the
union, and will face a "cliff edge" of
trade tariffs and barriers,


Several cabinet ministers who sup-
ported Remain are stepping up efforts
to prioritise business concerns and the
economy in Brexit discussions, fearing
that Leave supporters fail to realise the
scale of potential damage, It comes as:;
ā—‹ Theresa May faces a potential legal
challenge by a group of Conservative
MPs over the decision to begin Brexit
negotiations without parliament's
approval. The prime minister's spokes-
man ruledoutgiving MPs a voteyester-
day,saying thatitwould"second guess'
the will of the British people.
ā—‹ Dominic Grieve, the former attor-
ney-general, said that unless the gov,
ernment could agree,a deal supported
by parliament it would not survive.

Russia and Ukraine don't know what the hell Trump is talking about. Political leadership in Moscow and in Kyiv deny having agreed to an energy ceasefire, as Trump claims. Trump is delusional and a liar. He is trying to manipulate the U.S. public, assuming they are all idiots.

Russian bot traffic dropped after Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centres. This affects the "X" and Facebook platforms which are weaponized for russian information warfare. This harms the influence campaigns fascist russia is running against the U.S. midterm elections and the Alberta referendum.

Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive Ā£23m public subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance. Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.
