Rich people calling out other rich people for staying silent out of fear is surely a good thing?
The Aussie press not holding back when it comes to its coverage of neo-Nazis.
Heâs talking about the plutocracy
US sliding towards 1930s-style autocracy, warns Ray Dalio Not the guy i had expected to speak up but at least someone from hedge/PE world has âAnd by the way, during such times most people are silent because they are afraid of retaliation if they criticise.â www.ft.com/content/b86b...
The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...

Remembering when the NYT went on a weeks-long bender covering a decades-old real estate deal the Clintons were involved in, in which they *lost money*.
Gareth Southgate can do this. Why can't Starmer?

2016: Tony Gallagher as editor of The Sun tells ITV News that multiple sources say the Queen backs Brexit 2025: Tony Gallagher as editor of The Times publishes an article saying the Queen was a Remainer
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romneyâs presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Thank-you Ed Davey. Keep doing this. Relentlessly.
The clouds were just amazing - never seen anything like it
Back from Japan Okinawa was quite the revelation - 50% sub tropical paradise, 50% US military base
This is the guy who was convicted of assault - kicking his ex girlfriend outside a pub - before he was selected as a Reform candidate. If Reform had a few hundred MPs, how many people of this calibre would be in Parliament? M
This is like a pilot suddenly announcing to passengers "There is no cause for alarm" and then saying nothing else.
âWeâve only just been elected. We need time to come up with policiesâ is a bizarre position. If you had no idea what you wanted to do with power, what were you doing asking for it?
I dream of living of a world where RFK Jr plays no role of any kind in the decisions of how disease is treated in the USA. Is that too much to askâŚ.
A key member of Trump 1.0 Covid team re: the CDC news: âI think this is quite a negative and potentially catastrophic step for the country,â said Adm. Brett Giroir. âI donât know whoâs in charge, honestly, and thatâs frightening because the No. 1 thing you need is somebody in charge,â he added.
As if you needed another reason to be angry at RFK Jr. today: There are signals he wants to blow up the "liability shield" that has kept the U.S. vaccine industry strong for the last forty years (and has sped payments to harmed patients). Hugely dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/hhs-kenned...
Is this the "ICE style deportation enforcement" that Farage has in mind? Does this seem like a happier, safer place to you? Machine-gun armed militias, with faces covered, yanking people into unmarked cars? The full Mark Stone report is a must-watchđđ˝. ~AA www.youtube.com/watch?v=KolI...
Doubly immoral Nigel Farage and the Reform Partyâs Taliban Tax means sending hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money to an oppressive regime that British soldiers fought and died to defeat.
Excellent as I just got a credit and have a long flight ahead of me!
Audible coming anytime soon?
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
Shut this abomination down
Could the answer be a right wing government and news media hostile to British Railâs existence and anything that it did?

Vast majority of Canadians want deeper economic ties with the EU, reduced dependence on the U.S.
One of the factors that helped win the Falklands War! #forgedinrain
Sure though good argument EPR is way over specced, as the guy in the article says. Solar works in lots of places but in the UK it is tricky (I know - I have a solar and battery system). Nuclear needed for hedging vs renewable intermittency. Just doesnât have to be EPR.
Decent distance from central Chicago though?
Theyâll ask for state assistance, state will refuse and then theyâll try and seize stuff and it gets violent.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
Be in no doubt that a Reform govt in UK would result in cranks like Bev Cracknell âDrâ John Thingy and Aseem Malhotra being given top health jobs.
Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job
US accused of conducting hostile campaign designed to destabilize Denmark, a close democratic ally amp.dw.com/en/denmark-s...
âThe recent change in the adult and childrenâs immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.â This should be one of the biggest scandals in America right now. And every Democrat should be loudly calling for RFK Jrâs resignation
I really think we need to have some mechanism in place for being able to say, in print and in the media, that a problem with a public figure is that they are insane. Not in a hyperbolic way. RFK Jr is a maniac.
Newsom: "I don't think Donald Trump wants another election." "This guy doesn't believe in free and fair elections," he tells us. "[Trump] tried to wreck this country. Were you there? Jan. 6." More from @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's Politico Live interviewđ
We do know how to do this though. And we donât need HEU. Candu reactors are safe and can run on LEU. Itâs all perfectly possible.
Overelaborate French designs surely?

Give money to the guys who blew the legs off British soldiers
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Productivity!
The Notts Post has been reporting without fear or favour since 1878. Reform makes a lot of noise about free speech and a free press - but when journalists say something it doesnât like, this is how it actually behaves. Imagine what it would do in government.ďżź www.nottinghampost.com/news/news-op...
The Taliban gave a home to Osama Bin Laden. They have regularly attacked and killed British soldiers and Afghans who served alongside them. Reform wants to give the Taliban UK taxpayer money. This is a goal so open you could drive a herd of elephants through it.
10 years old. He lay under the pew. His friend, Victor, lay on top of him, protecting him and saved him They practised for this every month But not in church WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, đşđ¸ ?? 10yo kids have to practise for this every month because the adults donât care enough to stop guns

A quick look at Glancyâs own substack and X feeds ought to be enough on to put one on alert
If I wished to tag him I would have!
Love Mark Urban but am surprised by him platforming James Glancy on his substack. Glancy is very much of the âHungary approvingâ tendency. A simple film maker he is not.
This whole thing is so, so depressingly basic. If Farageâs clear and persistent bigotry had ever been taken seriously we would never have heard of him, but now we have to sit and wait for millions of voters - including his own - to realise that his bigotry will be a disaster for them too.
The hilarious thing is people thinking the UK govt canât link the data bases without a ln ID card Oh boy
I didnât
Quite
Itâs a lot less of a mish mash than you may think Itâs actually pretty organised behind the scenes, itâs just not visible to you
Thatâs whataboutery though
The British state likes to use the current system to its advantage See Windrush Itâs partly why they refused to give EU citz evidence of settled status - the resulting uncertainty is desirable for the state
Amazing how many people donât realise govt linking it all up though Genuinely surprises many
Oh and levy a withholding tax on capital transfers to non UK taxpayers
ID cards can enhance liberties
Dunno Thereâs a capital receipts tax in Ireland www.revenue.ie/en/gains-gif...
I am pro ID cards Other societies work with them - arguably better than we do where proving your ID has become this baroque exercise of utility bills, bank statements etc And govt has linked it all up behind the scenes anyway - see linkages between Passport Office, DVLA and HMRC for eg
Now imagine what these maniacs will do with the power to strip dual nationals of their UK citizenship
At least we arenât a âyour papers please!â society hey

Is Ben Habib immune from Loweâs âremigrationâ plan out of interest?

Get rid of IHT and replace it with a capital receipts tax, taxed in the hands of the recipient at their marginal rate Effectively declare it income - would pick up non death related receipts too

Rare to hear an EU official speak as candidly as Weyand here âFrom the Commissionâs perspective this was a strategic trade-off, not an economic policy ideal solution" âThere was a risk that the USA, in return, would question the security partnership. That is the realpolitik of the turning point"
I imagine the Chinese already have a load of sound sensors listening out for them
These were National Front talking points when I was young, and attacked by everyone except extremists. BNP when I was older: the BNP was run off for being racist cunts. Now The Times is cheerily discussing what might happen âif the population was to be sieved.â Also âcampsâ is very deliberate.
They are fâing loud They are not stealthy sonically!
