Interested in geopolitics? Then read this article on why Trump’s “Reverse Kissinger” strategy of cozying up to Russia to balance against China is a REALLY bad idea

Found this open newspaper with these provocative words on the train to London. Impossible not to think of another from #1939.

London mansion formerly owned by Saudi royals sells for £139m The Holme in Regent’s Park, which has 40 bedrooms, was put on the market two years ago for £250m

Who wants to explain why it's important for journalists and civil society to access beneficial ownership information in the BVI? We at @transparencyuk.bsky.social will be responding fyi @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social @icij.org @occrp.org @ukanticorruptioncoalition.org
