Elon Musk’s Secret Web of Companies in Texas

NEW: Elon Musk said he was “selling almost all physical possessions” when he moved to Texas. Nope. Instead, he has secretly amassed land and penthouses and planes and mansions. We just had to spend months digging through private company records to find it all. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/t...

Immigration and asylum Shabana Mahmood vows to stick with hardline migration policies after byelection defeat Home secretary will defy 'plain wrong' calls from unions and leftwing MPs that she is alienating Muslim voters Rajeev Syal Home affairs editor

No, no, no - you’re not alienating Muslim voters, Shabana.

You’re alienating progressive voters.

Ya know, the ones who put you into office? Your actual voting base?

It looks like lessons will not be learned after all.

France’s Engie strikes deal to buy UK Power Networks for £10.5bn French utility to acquire owner of electricity cables and power lines across London, south-east and east of England

France’s Engie to buy UK Power Networks for £10.5bn.

Much of UK infrastructure is foreign owned - water, energy, ports, airports, mail, vets, hospitals, care homes, mines, shipbuilding.

Rip-off practices follow. Govts have fewer economic levers.

City prefers speculation to investment.

Israel, Epstein, corporate oil industry

Remember who you are fighting for

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,

Precisely why men hate her so much, because she advocates for women and girls... and she's a lot smarter than they are.

'We're not going to take it any longer': Trump confirms US strikes on Iran Donald Trump has confirmed that the US has launched "major combat operations" against Iran in an eight-minute video on Truth Social. He said Tehran's "menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world". "For 47 years," Trump adds, "the Iranian regime has chanted 'Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed." He references the US embassy crisis from 1979 and 1981, where 66 hostages were held for 444 days. "It's been mass terror, and we're not going to take it any longer. We'll bring you more of his words as we get them.

Sooner or later Trump’s going to stop boasting about all the wars he's ended and start boasting about all the wars he's started instead.

Trump’s owners really do want revenge on Iran for kicking them out of Persian oilfields.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

Distraction incoming!! 😡😡😡

Trump had no choice but to act. The Iranians were just weeks away from obtaining the missing Epstein files.

Harrods faces legal action over £1-a-head dining charge not going to staff Case brought by 29 workers and backed by UVW union seen as test case that could lead to changes at other restaurants

Harrods facing legal action over its £1-a-head cover charge to diners’ bills that does not go to workers.

Law requires that all tips and service charges go to staff.

Qatar-owned Harrods hands the 12.5% optional service charge to workers but not the compulsory £1-a-head cover charge.

Zack Polanski, "Keir Starmer is never going to appease the right by slowly moving to the right"

"They just get worse and they drag the government with them"

"I wouldn't be bothered except they're the government of this country and they're dragging us all down with them"

😂

I have it on vinyl and CD.

Put simply! It’s time to cancel your newspaper,your license fee and switch off itv,sky and all other mainstream news outlets! Let the fight back commence 👍

Columnist of the year because she’s good at climbing greasy poles 🤷

One day when I’m retired and free to be me (rather than just another faceless follower on line) I’d love to visit your garden.

Exactly. There are plenty of other far right activists out there who assert that being gay is a “lifestyle choice” and just that as an excuse to condemn us in the same way as Rowling does with transsexuals.

Can’t blame this on Morgan McSweeney.

This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isn’t listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

They not been gutted by the Tories at that point either.

Here’s hoping

Thumbs up for The Orb

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.
