weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

The next pandemic may spread like wildfire in the US. And life expectancy there is already 4 years lower than in comparable countries.

Jennings: They should go to work

Roginsky: So should congress. Why did they abandon the house to not vote on the Epstein files?

Jennings: It was the August recess

Roginsky: It was not the August recess. They left early.

And the more poorly they perform, obviously the more they need incentivising. No hold on, the carrot on the stick is only given after the donkey completes its work successfully….

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

Yes, but the clue is in the acronym. Aeronautical, Space. Not ground based.

What would a Reform UK government mean for the UK economy? What happens if Reform UK takes power? The economy might implode before their manifesto reaches final draft

You may think of Reform UK as just anti-immigration.

However it’s also anti-civil servants, anti- economic rules, anti-standards

In short, it’s anti-functioning government.

So what would a Reform UK govt look like?

The Great Barrier Reef has suffered the largest decline in coral cover since monitoring began, in a mass bleaching event caused by climate change-induced heat stress.

Sea temps keep getting warmer because of successive governments’ failure to cut emissions.

What if Reform UK got into power?

- Mass sackings in Whitehall
- Pound in freefall
- Housing market collapse
- Pension funds under threat

This isn’t doom-mongering. It’s a calm look at what their plans might mean.

Well yes, but it’s fortunately not an enforceable agreement. Hopefully individual EU countries will find sustainable alternatives.

Why are the wealthy so well off? The accumulation of wealth has been driving inequality for decades. In the first of two articles we explain the injustice of our wealth taxation

The richest 10% own 60% of UK wealth – and it's still growing.

Not because they work harder, but because our tax system helps them.

It’s literally the big apple of their eye. And that’s one big greedy exploitative problem. It’s blowing up in their faces.

Good. If only he could understand that most trade deals are mutually beneficial rather than one side cheating the other he’d be able to help America thrive.

If the EU has hit rock bottom and as far as I can see is still in one piece it’s impossible for it to disintegrate as suggested by Brexiteers repeatedly despite evidence to the contrary. Reports of the death of the EU appear to be exaggeration. 🀣
