" 9 When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 While he was going and they were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. 11 They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’

"... THE Communion has genuine scale — it counts up to 100 million people globally as members — and is increasingly shaped by the Global South. Today, the typical Anglican is not an English parishioner, but a young African woman. In many of the communities in which Christian Aid works, faith is not a private matter, but the organising principle of daily life.

>"ALL FEDERAL AGENCIES MUST BUY AMERICAN — NO EXCUSES! For decades, Washington politicians sent your Taxpayer Dollars overseas, and let Foreign Countries rip us off while our Workers, Factories, and Supply Chains were left behind. That betrayal is OVER. My Administration is strengthening MADE IN AMERICA Laws, ENDING Waiver Loopholes, and STOPPING the Federal Government from buying Foreign Products when Great American Products are available — And to the D.C. Bureaucrats: NO MORE handing out Waivers like candy! No more rubber-stamping exceptions for Foreign Products while American Workers get shafted. We are putting American Workers, American Factories, and American Supply Chains FIRST — Bigger, better, and stronger than ever before! I already signed EO 14392 to crack down on fake “MADE IN AMERICA” claims, and we are enforcing it HARD. No more games. No more fake labels. No more ripping off the American Taxpayer. AMERICA FIRST means BUY AMERICAN! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Conservatives used to support free market economics.

If a foreign country could make something more cheaply, then it might be good to buy those products. Or if another country was known to produce a high quality product, then it might be good to buy that product.

This is not about countries ripping each other off. Countries compete in a marketplace, and have different areas where they are at an advantage.

Why does Reform want to bring a failed policy to

Turnout in the elections was around 30% - meaning the majority didn't vote.

There were 5 parties competing - Conservative, Green, Labour , Lib Dems, Reform (alphabetical order), so it doesn't seem like all the options are the same.

"... The release is part a US-brokered prisoner exchange involving several other countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine. Tusk said it was “the finale of a two-year complicated diplomatic game, full of dramatic twists and turns”.

The talks with Belarus’s authoritarian leader, Aleksandr Lukashenko, often called “Europe’s last dictator”, were led by the US special envoy to Belarus, John Coale, who confirmed that three Poles and two Moldovans were released as part of the swap.

Speaking at a press conference in Warsaw, he said that “basically an argument with Lukashenko is, what are you getting out of this?”

“It hurts you internationally and if Belarus wants to join the family of nations, this kind of things have to stop. If you want to put people into prison for good reason, great, that’s your business, but not for these types of crimes,” he said.

Coale said he was planning to go back to Belarus in “two or three weeks” for further talks with the Belarusian regime.

“The United States has a lot to do on this issue, there’s 800 to 900 political prisoners left to get out of Belarus, and we haven’t stopped our work at all until we get every last one of them,” he said..."
