Having read her policies they would resonate with a lot of people in the UK Well, yes. There are lots of far-right supporters in the UK, too. This is not news, after the last decade and a bit...

Things like a Le Pen victory would be great in so far as its a knee jerk to complacency and even to demonstrate that no, it doesn't work or maybe,yes, it does.... Remind anybody of Trump, Brexit...?

www.ng.ru/news/736591.htmlPutin will ensure to reduce the level of “poverty”. Translated text: I wonder what magic bullet Putin has? When everyone is poor, no one is poor. ...which is actually depressingly accurate... "Poverty" in the UK is not defined in terms of what can't be afforded, but in terms of how household income relates to the national average. If the average falls, then some people will be taken out of poverty... commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn07096/"Various poverty measures based on disposable household income are in common use and the trend can look quite different depending on the measure used. Two commonly used measures are:
people in relative low income – living in households with income below 60% of the median in that year;
people in absolute low income – living in households with income below 60% of (inflation-adjusted) median income in some base year, usually 2010/11."

I always check what Ed Davey thinks.... Then assume the opposite is the best route.

The buyer of a non-fungible token (NFT) of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's first tweet says he "may never sell it" after beening offered just over $6,200 (£4,720), about 0.2% of the $2.9m he paid for it.
Rearrange these words to make a well known phrase or saying - minute, one, every, born

Quite amazing - reminds me of that 'all glory is fleeting' quote. Just over a year ago he was CEO of Twitter and widely credited with influencing the 2020 election. Then in Nov 2021 he quits Twitter - and now he's just some guy.
