If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

NEW: Dear Washington Post journalists, I’ve written this for you.

Last year @theguardian.com gave away our news title & binned 100+ journalists. It sucked!

But we fought back & you can too. First a strike, then a new masthead @thenerve.news Fuck Bezos. There is another way 👊👊👊

Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks.
Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?

Royal Society president reignites Elon Musk row by defending lack of action Society should only eject fellows for fraud or other defects in their research, says Paul Nurse

Musk's X has turbo-charged the anti-science movement & amplified misinformation, racism, misogyny & hate. It permits the creation of digital child porn at one click.

If these aren't grounds to eject him from the Royal Society, then what are?

Shame on them.

Fix NHS or extremists Will win, warns Davey By Nina Lloyd, Sophie Wingate and David Lynch Populists and extremists will be the winners if politicians fail the NHS, Sir Ed Davey warned yesterday. The Liberal Democrat leader suggested failing to bring down A&E waits would allow for "disillusionment" to be exploited as he set out his party's plans to give patients a legal right to be seen within 12 hours. Speaking in London's Chartered Accountants' Hall, Davey attacked Labour and the Tories for their record on the NHS. "If we don't show we can change things, if we can't fix this crisis, that's when the populists and the extremists will take advantage," he said. "Not because they can fix it, of course they can't. They're not even interested in fixing it. "But because populists feed off disillusionment, they thrive when people simply don't believe that any government or any party can really make their lives better." He singled out the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage (inset), who he claimed "doesn't care about the NHS" and wants to "privatise" the service by replacing it with "an American-style insurance system" Under the proposals, £1.5bn would go towards making 6,000 beds available for care by the end of the year, in an effort to end what Davey called a "deadly corridor crisis" Ministers would have a "statutory" duty to limit the time spent waiting to be admitted in A&E to 12 hours or less, the party added. The party said their plan would be funded by scrapping the Government's pharmaceuticals deal with the US, which could result in the NHS paying billions more for drugs. Davey told Donald Trump to "bring it on" as he faced questions from journalists about the prospect of retaliation if the UK ripped up its trade arrangements with the US.

So this is what Farage wants to do with his precious Brexit ‘sovereignty’: sell out our NHS to Trump’s America and grub for power in the misery of its collapse.

Such a cynical, malignant politician. Happy to lie to our faces, weaken our rights and break what we value, if it enriches him.

Incredibly galling to hear Sauer talk about how the president is accountable to the public through elections, when the president he's referring to is one who attempted to illegally overturn an election he lost

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.

But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.

Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

Councils are being squeezed to collapse so the government can pretend to be clean If Austerity is over - as Rachel Reeves keeps trying to tell us - why are more local authorities going bankrupt?

Austerity isn’t over – it’s just been rebranded while councils are driven to bankruptcy. This isn’t council failure, it’s government betrayal.

Corruption out in the open. How can the White House have the power to approve a merger or block a competing one where Trump’s own son-in-law stands to make millions? This is why the FTC should remain independent—and why Trump wants to control it.

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…

And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say

…funny that.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Did Keir Starmer just fake a challenge against his weak leadership? Is Keir Starmer so worried that he might be toppled from the Labour leadership - and UK premiership - that he has faked a challenge against him?

Has No 10 really uncovered a plot — or faked one to hide Starmer's weakness?

Reform Council in Chaos as It Prepares to Slash Scrutiny Committees Following Wave of Councillor Suspensions EXCLUSIVE: Reform's flagship Kent administration is planning to shut down multiple council committees as it struggles to fill posts after suspending nine of its own councillors

Court challenge forces Labour to reconsider compensating Waspi women over pensions The Labour government may be about to reverse its decision to refuse compensation to women who say they were not properly warned about the rise in the age at which they could claim the state pension.

Court action has forced Labour to reopen its refusal to compensate WASPI women after crucial 2007 evidence resurfaced.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.

"Robbie Gibb should have no role in appointing the next Director General, and given the Royal Charter gives the government the power to remove him will the Prime Minister sack him now?" asks Ed Davey.

Starmer says he won't interfere in running the BBC

Starmer’s allies briefed the press about a Wes Streeting “coup”… and may have blown up his authority instead.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"
