For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.
In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.
The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.
SΓ‘nchez: βYou may have heard that Spain is alone. Theyβre the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
βWe are not alone β we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.β

Context here is that the last Conservative government borrowed more than the G7 average every single year. This year? We are borrowing less.
He always tells us what he's going to do next. Connect the dots.
π In Belgium, 81% of women do daily household tasks vs. 33% of men. In France, 71% of women report high mental load at work, rising to 81% for managers of 5+ people.

This is like 250,000 people and the air space in many of these countries is closed.
Reform lost the British-born vote (by about 1500) as well as the Commonwealth voters (by about 1500) in Gorton and Denton - the foreign-born vote including naturalised British citizens by maybe 3000.
They got 29% by focusing their campaign in just one-third of a 60% white seat
Reform being such bad losers illuminates why half of voters want to stop Reform winning.
Reform: favourable 32% unfavourable 47%
Farage: approve 27%, disapprove 64%
generally not racist 38% generally racist 45% (white voters)

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro SΓ‘nchez on Iran:
