Today (26/03/2025) our Chancellor of the Exchequer brought a whole new range of measures to Parliament which she assured the house would put the countryContinue reading “I find it difficult”

What’s going on in the US
I’m very concerned as are many other about what’s going on in the world with particular reference to the USA, only because the USA has such a profound influence on the rest of the world.
