It is about software not hardware. I personally would never do a deal with the team of Trump, Wittkoff and Hesgeth or even Rubio.
Trump is conflating issues and using leverage where it does not belong. The Canadian Prime minister Carney is navigating this quagmire and probably will outlast Trump and MAGA and try to deal with a more constructive partner.
The principle outline here is that Trump is using the power of USA government to make threats to European allies to slow up and block the USA Department inquires into himself.
This explains why Trump is making threat to his allies. It is to stop them providing evidence against him. This smart guy says it is a type of "witness intimidation" .
They can all highlight issues and discuss issues but none can do anything about it." I would deport the lot of them" is easy to say but illegal and not that easy anyway as seen in the USA.
In order to do this you need the Digital iD card. Illegal workers cannot get this card and would not be eligible for services such as the NHS. I reckon right wingers should be "all in" on a digital iD with the Police allowed to do mandatory iD checks. I saw this in practice in my time living in Turkiye having my iD checked about 10 times. Turkiye has decades of experience of migration being the land bridge between Asia and Europe.
People will identify themselves when services stop. NHS, prescription, schooling welfare payments etc. People without these could be issues temporary cards and told to consider leaving UK. UK would help people relocate once they are not eligible for services paid for by the taxpayer. When I lived in Turkiye as a foreigner I had to have Private medical insurance.
One way of reducing cash leakage is not to target certain things after month of analysis but simply cut the budgets of all of these hundred of bodies 5% across the board. A softer approach is to freeze the funds like Mrs Reeves has done to Pensioners by freezing the tax free allowance to 2030.
I favour an "all in it together" approach to cutting the deficit and debt. For any Nation the leader must also make sacrifices That means King Charles III, who took a £200k a day PAY RISE from the profits of England and Wales Wind farm fees.
Rupert wants a gong probably so will not raise this issue
It is a land grab pure and simple The problem with turning a blind eye to Israeli Military and annexations is that others will copy and expect the same indifference.
The Ukrainian military is developing fast and has lots of new UK kit to use to kill Russian trespassers. Welsh jobs are being created. F16 are now part of the Ukrainian air force and Gripens will join down the line with Swedish radar planes. Europe is replenishing its stocks of missiles of all sort.
Ukraine and NATO just needs to hold the line. Putin is 72 and it should be clear to all Russians hat Ukraine SMO as been a disaster.
The sanctions are biting Russia and the economy is under strain. Trump is distracted elsewhere and will let the combatant battle it out. Analysts say 900 causalities a day you say 9 or less.
Russian should not be allowed to decide when and where the war and sanctions end. The removal of Putin and the FSB should be the first demand of the West, Otherwise sanctions stay on indefinably. It is up to Russians to remove them and end the nuclear blackmailing.
I am not an accountant but the HM Government is suggesting it t is £100n a year for 100 years with no mark up for Inflation. That is £10 billion in cash.
They are suggesting the £3.6billon valuation is that real value allowing for a notional inflation of say 5% . That would be good for UK.
If however the £100m is adjusted for inflation it is the bigger figure £10 billion in real terms as the £100m increases every year.
Then there is the rent USA pays UK for land it does not own. Sub lease. Hopefully that is payable and is increased with inflation. Ideally the deal with Mauritius does not include inflation and the deal with USA does. in this case UK will have a good income in the later parts of the lease. By then USA if still a global power might gazzump UK and sign their own m lease with Mauritius.
Thinking about it. It could be that is what Trump is doing right now. It fits his business style. One hopes that our well paid UK lawyers will kick that one into touch. All hypothetical of course.
There is more heat than light on this thread it seems to me.. Where everything is politicised clarity is missing. You gave to trust UK lawyers and accountants. They ars pretty good.
If Fulton is in the team the club is not making progress. He will help Swansea stay out of trouble but not help Swansea to the top of the table. Some might argue he is slow and clumsy. The model for Swansea s is sharp nimble players that bring tempo. This was defined by Leon Britton. Football joy occured when he was paired with De Guzman and Hernandez.
Even today Swansea has spent millions at and are in exactly the same place. Lower half of the Championship. Coopers excellent loans got Swansea to top 8. Since then mid table treading water. This is where Fulton is. If he is still in the side recruitment people gave done a bad job.
Fulton is a good footballer and team player but does not fit the Swansea template defined by Martinez Brendan and Laudrup. Too slow of thought an action.
Wales has a very good record on social integration and as far as I know there has never been race riots or serious ethnic tensions. Percentages in Wales of ethnic groups is far less than the big English urban centres of course. Investing in integration is a wise investment,
Migration is a fact of life thee days, Many students are getting extended work visa to work in place like Amazon who do not even pay tax on their UK profits. One wonders what is the point of having them. They smash local competition pay tax in Roi and much of workers wages saving go to India or Bangladesh
Canada is getting cold feet over their F35 purchases.
At 8 minutes it explains US can control the effectiveness of the F35 by not carrying vital "software updates" and performance declines if these are m not carried out.
Trump is no viable with his words. We spent billions on this kit based on R TRUST on Lockheed Martin and other US firms. With Trump insulting the UK military and Witkoff on the side of Russia the situation is extremely serious and can only be resolved with the removal of Trump and his team.
We do not give $ billions to people who insult us at every turn who we cannot rely on. Grippen are offering Canada control. The UK Military establishment has put total faith in the US and now look very stupid. The Typhoons will perhaps need a longer shelf life, The F35 as I understand it belong to the Royal Navy attached to the two giant Aircraft Carriers.
Of course you cannot stand them as they and the national paper of Wales well south wales anyway. You are a political poster and wear the Union flag on your moniker. The Press Association and Reuters.
WoL are far from perfect but I grew up with them as a contact to Swansea city when a toddler in a village and Swnsea were Div 4. I love wales I love the Senedd and I love Swnsea city and the WoL ( and the Swansea independent as well).
Swansea have average players in big money. Fulton needs to be replaced by a lower wage player. Key, Ollie Cooper, Cullen will not get better. They will keep ScFc in th Championship though..Santos looks done.. French guy. Is now behind Kyril Wilson in terms of performance. Key can be sold and replaced by Lissah or moved f is there forward..
Al Hamadi and Kyle Joseph went for million pound + transfers..
Lissah, Wilson Cotterill Congreve Lloyd and Josh Thomas are getting game time at seniors level and need to be in the first team squad if good enough next season.
Brilliant goal actually. I recall there was a standoff with Sam Parkers contract for a while. So that gives hope ths two lads Perry and Popham will eventually sign like Ng term deals
The USA public given up on Trump. British people should not take crepe off ANY ONE. He will be gone sooner than people think. UK got Brexit to be free to do our own thing.
Give Trump and Vance a dressing down. That is what they expect of us. The public will just gave to accept the consequences of UK being leaders not followers. UK future US partners are currently prisoners of MAGA.
Make a stand and get the benefits down the line. The "poodle" needs to show it's teeth.
It sounds as it they did ths right thing but did not have the paperwork in n place. Middle eastern politics is a violent band dirty business and this is reflected in their issue going through this long process.
He needed to get I his best brains in this as he is not dealing with Welsh people or Scots but much more important people from the middle east.
Villa won no disturbances no violence no hospitalisations probably few if any arrests. It was a real bad night for middle east hot heads and UK based agitators who were up for a dust up.vThe copper made a good judgement call but could not justify it to the sharp suited lawyers.
