A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea. UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations. Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies. Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis. UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

In 2023-24 HMRC issued 456 penalties to wealthy individuals for £5.8m, 25 prosecuted. Tax scams designed by accountants, lawyers; five prosecutions in 2023-2024. Govt taking powers to snoop on benefit claimants' bank accounts; mainly poor, old, sick. Nothing equivalent on tax abuse industry.

Increase taxes for working people, or make the super-rich pay their fair share? The answer seems obvious – but not to Labour | Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums. Thank you. An Aston Villa fan.

Corporate Welfare London developers to build fewer affordable homes, but get higher subsidies to build them. Why build unaffordable homes? Why subsidies for highly profitable companies? Subsidies will be swallowed by companies, won't filter down to people. Let councils build affordable homes.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month. No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less. Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses Lying, thieving b******

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

Statement from Hakeem Jeffries: “Eric Adams has served courageously and authentically for decades as a Member of the NYPD, the NY State Senate, in Brooklyn Borough Hall and as our 110th Mayor. Hakeem,you forgot that Adams is one of the most corrupt NY Mayor , you f*cking asshole !!!

Some things have to be run by government where profit can not be the overriding priority

Absolutely correct

Liverpool are already 5 points clear and they have not even "clicked" yet?

I hope her campaign uses this. Because this represents what she'll fight AGAINST.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

Without saying The Fifth Element, fave Bruce Willis film? 🎬

OMG that was me almost at the same time. Thankfully no breakdown but sadly some scars But you and I are still here mate

The Mamdani effect: how his primary win is inspiring young progressives to run for office

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

‘We just want to stop people being murdered’: Kneecap on Palestine, protest and provocation

Israel said to halt Gaza aid deliveries in wake of Smotrich threat to quit government. Smotrich threatening to quit because of aid ending up with Hamas, & I have a bridge to sell you. He doesn't care where aid goes, as long as it doesn't reach Palestinians. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Mamdani "flipped Oakland Gardens, a swing district in Queens that went from supporting Biden... to Republican Lee Zeldin in the 2022 New York gubernatorial race to Trump last year...[he] didn’t just activate the left; he broke into communities that conventional wisdom says don’t vote socialist."

Favourite movie robot 🤖 that isn't the T-800

Wow. Just wow. The Founding Fathers, who advocated separation of Church & State (over 150 years before the modern state of Israel was created) would pull out their own eyeballs out at this.
