French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Fujitsu swore it wouldn’t bid for public contracts until the Horizon scandal inquiry wrapped up. And yet a new £300k MoD deal just landed in its lap. Their “no-bid” pledge is looking more like a PR stunt riddled with loopholes.

Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.

The Institute of Fire Engineers has issued a statement & FAQ on the Adam Kiziak/Tri Fire EWS1 scandal.

While it's fun to watch Tesla stock take a nose dive, keep in mind that Elon doesn't give a shit. He's about to make billions in government contracts and kickbacks.

Exclusive: government officials warned about fire risk assessor two years before his removal from approved contractors list Officials were warned about the quality of a fire risk assessor’s work two years before he was removed from the approved contractors list, emails obtained by Inside Housing have revealed.

Recent revelations about fire risk assessor Adam Kiziak have been making headlines.

But we can now reveal government was warned about his work two years before he was removed from their official panel:

www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/exclusi...

A screenshot of text which show leaseholders raising concerns that Mr Kiziak was copy and pasting between reports and that his assessments were "not worth the paper they were written on"

Government officials received these warnings about Tri-Fire's Adam Kiziak from 2023 onwards. He remained on an official list of contractors approved to assess high rise buildings until January, when he was struck off by the Institute of Fire Engineers

Leaseholders ‘ripped off by secret commissions on insurance’ As the government proposes banning the sale of new leasehold flats, a class action lawsuit suggests owners may be owed millions in compensation

"According to Liam Spender, a solicitor leading a proposed class action lawsuit against freeholders to recover “secret” commissions, these payments over the past three years may be as high as £480 million, with hundreds of thousands of flats affected."

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Public invited to have say on water sector fit for the future Independent Water Commission explores fresh ideas on water sector reforms, both evolutionary and revolutionary.

UK Govt invites public to have a say on water sector future.

Another impression management exercise.

Govt has ruled out public ownership, worker/customer elected directors, worker/customer vote on exec pay.

Won't prevent dividends, inflation-busting customer bill hike, sewage dumping.

Gap between prices of UK flats and houses ‘widest in 30 years’ Cladding concerns and rising service charges hit demand for apartments

❌ Result of MHCLG
not prioritising safety

“I told you if you hold on to clothes long enough they come back in fashion”

From the new Private Eye, out now.

“No return to the customs union, to the single market or to free movement and that remains the case” says Home Secretary Yvette Cooper

It’s simply impossible to reconcile the governments stubborn & entrenched position on Brexit with its policy of “growth, growth, growth”

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

I just had this conversation with my wife. Sadly, America will not elect a women for President. Harris was a strong candidate, as well as Clinton. Then we talked about Mayor Pete, love me some Mayor Pete, no way will America vote for a gay man. America only responds to a crass White male asshole.

Sadly I don't think that will be enough.

I do wish America doesn't make that same mistake again.Americans will never ever vote for a woman President. Wasting time with female candidates means the Dems will lose.

Lord Mandelson, "I consider my remarks about President Trump ill judged and wrong"

"Times and attitudes towards the presidents have changed since then.. I think he has won fresh respect.. He certainly has for me"

When a job is more important than your integrity 🤷‍♂️
