Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.
The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

I link the idea of 'winning every election' as a solution to the authoritarianism problem to the two party system, and because of that, see multiparty reform as essential for a stable return to democracy: bsky.app/profile/kjep...

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.
“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.

Trump wants to take £5.2bn from the British public & give it to his billionaire buddies. If the UK says no, and refuses to cut the Digital Services Tax on tech giants, he is threatening more tariffs.
Starmer must not let Trump bully us.

What I believe to be the Russian misinformation campaign in the U.K., in particular, and Europe, more generally, has been the most successful disinformation campaign in history.

Pritzker: "The Insurrection Act is called the Insurrection Act for a reason — there has to be an insurrection in order for [Trump] to be allowed to invoke it. He can say anything he wants, but if the Constitution means anything...the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked."

Yeah this is bonkers. Portland has problems. It's also a safe creative prosperous thriving community where elected officials are trying creative solutions. Giving equal credence to people calling it a hellscape is not factual or accurate.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.
TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

The fight over health care is incredibly important, but his shutdown battle is about more than just health care. President Trump has abused the living crap out of his power, and if we don't rein him in, our republic is at risk.
