The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

England is a very dry place: London gets as much rain as Jerusalem.
With climate change, the south will need to prepare for even more acute water shortages.
Of course, if any of those ‘protesters’ had been holding any kind of sign mentioning support of Palestine they’d have been scooped up by the Met in no time at all.

Where is that response now?

Just finished my advance copy of #BabysBreath by @russincheshire.bsky.social. I've certainly raced through this one - which is always a good sign. A fast-paced psychological thriller, set in a very topical landscape - Russ creates a vivid backdrop with complex characters and plot-twists aplenty.

“Hard Brexit was xenophobic, economically illiterate and narrow-minded.
An apology from the Brexit lobby is too much to hope for. Silence might be a relief.
An appalling mistake was made. It awaits correction.”
Yes. Such damage and waste. For nothing.
