Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

The success of a populist message around Brexit, plus significant financial backing from the fossil fuel industry and climate sceptics, makes this an appealing topic and approach for those on the right of UK politics like Reform.

Just so I completely understand Iran blocking oil shipments in the Strait of Hormuz is “unfair” But the U.S. blocking oil shipments, food, medicines, etc to Cuba is okay? It’s really difficult to keep up with these “spin the bottle” foreign policies & I think the current administration is lost

Never thought I'd see the day when I'd say good for Rand Paul. The most disturbing thing about watching all the Senators totally destroy Markwayne Mullin during his confirmation hearing is that he will still be confirmed.

Are there no republicans that think it’s time for Trump to step down ? If not it’s time for all of them to go. Vote blue

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

2/2. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Adam Smith’s masterpiece is one of those rare classics that almost everyone knows about, but a very few have actually read. It is fundamentally misunderstood — yet it's just as important today as it was in 1776. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-250th-anniversary-of-adam-smiths

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

Music quiz: whose song refers to “clustering nightjars”?

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

No, there is no "proper plan" now. And the BBC and the British government should say so. #BBCLauraK

Genuinely don’t think there is a league anywhere played in front of such large crowds weekly that offers as much craziness/unpredictability as the 2. Bundesliga. Anyone who says modern ⚽️ hierarchies bore them, should give it a try. And for atmosphere, difficult to top.

Would like to see a poll asking Americans if they even know that they’re in a war

Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.

Greedy people Think of the good that could be done for humanity and our beloved planet...

“The clear winner of this war is Putin” Must be a coincidence 🙃

U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

Russia assissts Iran to kill U.S. soldiers. At the same time Trump helps Russia by lifting oil sanctions. Whatever there is between Trump and Putin; Kompromat- based blackmail or corruption, Trump must be removed, enough is enough.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them. It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Reform UK really are so lucky. For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer. Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter. For Farage. EIGHT MPs.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Forbes proudly prints a story of the 3500 billionaires as the average American tries to make ends meet. These 3500 social maggots are why you cannot afford your rent, mortgage and groceries. Republican policies create the conditions for these parasites to exist.

'This is — unbelievably — Sky News third attempt at this tweet and still they still can’t say: “Israel has killed 400 people in Lebanon” Shocking. These three iterations of the same tweet tell us so much.' x.com/PhilipProudf...

Trump is about to ease oil sanctions with Europe’s enemy Putin. That makes Trump our enemy doesn’t it?

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Your military family members are dying to cover up that the American president sexually tortured little kids. The Epstein Wars

Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump

A quick tip for Americans: If a candidate is heavily backed by far-right tech oligarchs who despise democracy and by people who promote pyramid schemes, do not support him. They are buying a puppet to enrich themselves, and he will eventually destroy your country

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD… Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

Americans had better get used to. Hardly surprising that people want to know if they are likely speaking to an enemy or a friend.

Russians are providing military technology to Iranian proxies

Bombing water supplies, killing children at school and choking ordinary people on burning oil is highly unlikely to make them cheer on the bombers and overthrow the government. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

In case you missed..more documents from the Epstein files were released on Friday 👇

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine. That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Though there are some exceptions to this rule (Thatcher for one, and several currently in Washington DC), #IWD2026 is a reminder that the world would be a far better place if women were in charge of everything.

More like North Korea by the day.

The UK used less coal in 2025 than in 1600 when Shakespeare was writing Hamlet, according to CarbonBrief. Meanwhile Trump is taking the US in the opposite direction. UK emissions fell by 2.4% in 2025.

Richard Haas excellent in today's FT

The people who told us austerity was crucial, Brexit would be brilliant, Boris Johnson’s amazing and Liz Truss is an economic genius, are now insisting the country should join an illegal war #BBCLauraK
