Wow. Keir Starmer's goons conned their way to power. But now the chickens are coming home to roost.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?   Negotiating a budget deal? No.   Preventing premiums from doubling? No.   Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.   He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.   America first?

Donald Trump is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to Argentina – to help his political ally stay in power and bail out Wall Street hedge funds – while Americans at home can't afford health care or groceries.

It’s worth adding that Vance is literally right now spearheading a Supreme Court case aimed at destroying whatever still remains of America’s anti-corruption laws.

Robert De Niro called on people to take to the streets to protest President Fuckface Von Clownstick in an upcoming “No Kings Day” on Oct. 18. Yeah, baby! 👉 www.nokings.org

"We were strip-searched, zip-tied, blindfolded and disappeared into the Negev Desert."

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

Starmer faces cabinet revolt over tax rises that could drive wealthy away. Ridiculous. Capital gains, dividends taxed at lower rates than wages. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in tax than the richest 20%. 16m live in poverty. Millions rely on food banks. End tax perks of the rich.

Our government leaders aren’t giving Americans what they want. And there’s actually lots of consensus on what we want.

The fact that Carroll O'Connor was the total opposite from his Archie Bunker character, he was a Liberal and he believed in equality. What he did in playing Archie Bunker was expose America to its own racism.

Consider the possibility that this person is not actually a "free speech absolutist" as he claims - and he's just angry at literally any information conduits that are not controlled and monetized by his social media algorithm...

Labour politician Dame Emily Thornberry accuses me of "bullying" and "misogyny" - because I challenged her record on Israel's genocide. This shameless, sinister attempt to shut down scrutiny must be fought. New post: www.owenjones.news/p/scrutinisi...

Apparently Israel’s genocidal acts are just “daft”.

Secret BBC filming exposes hidden culture of misogyny and racism inside Met Police. Police officers called for immigrants to be shot, revelled in the use of force and were dismissive of rape claims. These revelations have been made before. Nothing changed. Any wonder trust in police is low.

I went to Labour conference - and then they revoked my press pass. I found a party defined by delusion - and literally running away from its record. Where to even begin. Watch it here 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=RLAp...

#RyderCup Justin Thomas...embarrassing

Former leader of Reform UK in Wales pleads guilty to bribery charges relating to statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament. But Reform UK want to get rid of regulators and cut govt spending ... leading to less investigation and enforcement ... more bribery and security threats.

The American fans at the Ryder Cup are absolutely gross, just the worst of the worst

UK median wage for an employee is £30,816. A single person needs to earn £30,500 a year to reach a minimum acceptable standard of living. A couple with 2 children needs £74,000 a year between them. Can't rebuild economy based on low wages and poverty.

Americans can’t afford to buy their own home in Donald Trump’s housing market. New data show that the average price of buying a home reached the highest price recorded in August — of any year — ever.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Water company United Utilities promised to spend £129m to connect private septic tanks to the mains network and reduce sewage pollution. Spent £76.7m over the last 25 years. UU paid nearly £13bn in dividends since privatisation Can't trust water companies www.theguardian.com/business/202...

FEDERAL RESERVE STUDY: "Investors raise rents at 60% higher rates than the average increase...and higher investor share in a neighborhood is correlated with faster rent increases for non-investor landlords." But sure...go ahead & insist investor landlords have nothing to do with the housing crisis.

In a corporate owned care home, charging £1,800 a week. Residents face neglect/cruelty. Left in urine-soaked clothes, wet bedsheets, calls for help ignored, not showered for weeks, excrement in corridors, staff shortages. Cruelty is the norm when profits come before people.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Europe’s richest man opposes wealth tax. Estimated to have wealth of $169bn (£125bn), resents paying extra €1bn (£817m). Would it make any material difference to his lifestyle? How does anyone get this rich without squeezing labour, customers? Wealth opens doors to unaccountable political power.

The season is only five games old, but the alarm bells are loud at #AVFC. They are so far off it and their prior form, it's pretty unbelievable. Not one thing looked encouraging after Sunderland went down to ten Today was a new low. Truly dreadful.

This is coming from the leader of the Dem faction that spent a decade writing Wall Street critics out of the party & then spent 8 years vilifying "Bernie Bros." And notably - she's not saying expand the tent to include critics of corporate power. x.com/neeratanden/...

29,000 planning approvals for new homes in England last year. Must build 300,000 to hit target of 1.5m by 2029. UK lacks capacity: World's biggest importer of bricks 30%-40% cement imported Shortage of labour, materials No govt addresses long-term issues, all make populist promises.
