The UK suffers from a finance curse. Far from being our economic jewel, the City of London has drained trillions from the economy. That’s lost jobs, lost investment, and a weaker democracy. In this video, I explain why finance is making Britain poorer, and what must change. youtu.be/Ssa_4TqpxVg?...

Lyndon B. Johnson's response to satire

More people have been arrested for this Epstein protest than for the Epstein child sex ring.

These images will never be erased from Windsor Castle. They're forever part of its history now. The government did this. The king did this. They brought shame on the UK and the monarchy by inviting one of the worst criminals in modern history for a second state visit. #TrumpVisit #EpsteinFiles

Because the feckless mainstream media in America has been cowed into complete submission.

Hankyoreh now has an official English translation of this editorial: english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

In 2024-25 HMRC wrote-off £7.2bn of tax. Main reason is UK insolvency law. Since 2003, HMRC has been an unsecured creditor for taxes owed by companies such as corporation and capital gains tax. Billions lost. Public purse pays subsidies, employment & other benefits. Reinstate Crown preference.

41% of renters in England & Wales, 4.5m people, had to ration energy. People skipping hot meals, wearing gloves inside, limiting heating. Energy companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020, also get subsidies, shareholders enriched, misery for people. End profiteering. Nationalize energy

Hillsborough Law - the government has confirmed a new professional & legal "duty of candour" will be part of the bill, meaning public officials would have to act with honesty and integrity at all times and would face criminal sanctions if they breached it www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ana Bailão has been fighting for housing forever. She got basement suites & laneway homes through Council before @moreneighboursto.bsky.social even existed. She worked with Tory and Perks to legalize rooming houses citywide. Build Canada Homes has a huge amount of work ahead. She is a great choice.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

Far right Charlie Kirk's widow calls for worldwide violent uprising against killers of Charlie Kirk ... eh ... the far right!?!?!

It’s become such a truism in all the Kirk coverage that he brought a generation into the MAGA fold but I haven’t seen too much discussion about them then leaving.

Don’t let them make a martyr of Charlie Kirk. He was one of the most vile of all the maga propagandists.

Sorry – the killing of Charlie Kirk was wrong, but having his body flown on Air Force 2, flags at half-mast, having him lie in state, putting a statute of him in the Capitol, and giving him a Presidential Medal of Freedom are all entirely inappropriate.

NEW: The messages on the bullets are from a video game called Helldivers2. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-the-me...

These people do not get to say what patriotism is. It's not 'their' country, it's *our* country and that includes all of us regardless of race, creed, colour, gender, sex, age or who your parents were.

Oh look, another straight, right wing, white, jew-hating mass shooter. Nope, this isn't the Charlie Kirk shooter, it's the Colorado shooter.

If you want to understand the “groyper wars” and the rivalry between Charlie Kirk and Nick Fuentes this is a pretty good backgrounder www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6KXvuUQ/

There's very good money in being a right-wing hate monger. We really need to be pointing that out a lot more. It's a path to wealth for quite a few people on both sides of the Atlantic in the age of politainment.

The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Kash Patel bragging they caught the Charlie Kirk suspect in 33 hours. Utah Governor begins with, "We got him!" The suspect handed themselves in. I just wish all the BS would stop so we can get to the bottom of this. I strongly suspect the shooter was just another deluded young man.

This school shooting happened the same day as Charlie Kirk was shot, and guess what? The shooter was a far right white supremacist. —––—————–— ‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Q: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years? Charlie Kirk: Too many.* Q (same person): Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years? Kirk (final words): Counting or not counting gang violence?** Kirk = BS 🤷💯

They keep conflating freedom of speech and freedom of consequences from hate speech. Charlie Kirk wasn't shot for expressing his opinions. You are free to say whatever terrible things you want. However your entitlement does not protect you from the consequences of what you say.

Hunter Biden to Melania: Bring it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs9v...

Epstein victims lawyer Spencer Kuvin: "We now know from the words of the President himself that Virginia was right all along, and that she was trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago.”

This is important.

The fact that this isn't annoying speaks volumes for how irrelevant the Tories have become. The Tories were crap in government. They're even worse in Opposition.

Tommy Robinson sent a letter to himself, he meant to log out and send it from a different account. But he didn't. Don't RT 🤣

Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health & Human Services says he has no idea United Healthcare has been defrauding Americans out of $80 BILLION a year. If we’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, this is the largest source of waste, fraud & abuse of public dollars & public insurance.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

Steel is a fine example of the confused and increasingly moribund political economy debate across Europe and North America, in which a tangle of protectionism, security, swing voters, run down areas, and subsidies seems incapable of being satisfactorily resolved. www.ft.com/content/ecc3...

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Why spend £50Bn every year when you could spend it once to power us forever…?

Jemma Forte, "Nigel Farage is tied to Truss, to Trump, to Tate, and to Brexit which has made our country worse off which he said it wouldn't" Nigel Farage in 2016, "The worst case scenario economically is better than where we are today"

As a working class person, it's plain to see these fucks don't represent us or our interests. They scapegoat, demonise, and marginalise to distract from that fact. Fuck Farage. Fuck Reform.

This is an excellent article by Hardeep Matharu interspersed with thinking from Brian Klaas who I like a lot. He understands well the complex pathocracy of the Trump administration and the people that put them there. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

🔥 Senator @ossoff.bsky.social: “Who out there is sitting at home demanding we shut down cancer & Alzheimer’s research? We’re going to pay for this for a century. Irreversible damage has been done. It’s an outrage.” On Trump, DOGE, & the GOP’s budget cuts (to make way for tax cuts for the rich)

I think we need to stop referring to Donald Trump as a 'malignant narcissist' (even though he is that, too). He's a malignant moron. I'm sure I'm not alone in the world in being totally aghast and agog at what he is doing and saying. Johnson and Brexit were bad but this is 'next level' bad.

The quantity of UK goods exports is lower now than in 2016 or 2021. The UK is the only country in the G7 that has this record. #Brexit

I’m glad to see this article but it’s after 24 hours of unchallenged corporate guff dominating the news cycle. Tony Blair is a tech lobbyist who is literally writing naive, venal & dangerous policy for Starmer’s government. Call it out. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Certainly didn’t help that both establishment and new media on the left and right treated being worried about this as a cringey, unserious overreaction
