This is of course the moment for a centre right to push back against racism. But too many still think they can compromise with fascists, as has been the case through history.

UK has lost its official status as a country that has achieved elimination of measles, as vaccination rates have fallen below the 95% required to achieve herd immunity. So sad, and likely due vaccine misinformation. If you haven't already, get your kids vaccinated ASAP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Starmer faces questions over visit to Palantir office alongside Mandelson ft.trib.al/Rr0SHnp

Cost of living crisis for some

UK has regressive taxes. National Insurance is no exception. Employees pay 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% on earnings above £50,270. Net result is that basic rate taxpayers pay higher proportion of their income in NIC than those on higher incomes. No govt listens to the people

This won't end well.

I knew it!

So, what beers and bars are we boycotting now? #fullers

Apparently, this inflation is good news, but wage increases to pay for these homes is inflationary.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: Epstein files tipster tells me about her friend who was trafficked from Trump's modeling agency to Epstein. She sat for a formal interview with the FBI, but her 302 is MISSING from the release of the files. I'll show you what I have in 20 minutes: www.youtube.com/live/xiSmcNV...

French tech giant Capgemini to sell US subsidiary working for ICE

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”

As should the UK. The biggest single cybersecurity risk is the reliance on US tech providers.

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen: 1. The more I like it and her. 2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering. ...
