The Epstein saga is even more interesting when you look at the Russian women who helped run his operation. Here's a look at Svetlana Pozhidaeva.

There is only one source of money (and wealth) in π¬π§: the Govt. New money can only come through Govt spending and old money is removed through taxation. How you spend that money and who you tax determines what kind of society you have. #MMT

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.

Along with other countries, the UK promised "concrete actions" in response to the Netanyahu government back in May.
And still all we have is words from David Lammy.
Words are not enough. We need strong action.

During the parliamentary debate on Wednesday 2 July 2025, I said: βWe are all Palestine Actionβ.
Yet this was not included in Hansardβs official record. This was censorship.
Today, I challenged that omission and corrected the record.
We will not be silenced.
There is no 'fiscal corner' to get out of
The gvt isn't like a household or business - that's a Thatcherite myth
Gvt creates new ££ by spending - taxes just cancel some of those ££

Reeves's electric car subsidies
She had a choice between:
a) Β£3,700 subsidy to help one person to buy a new Β£37,000 electric car
or
b) Β£3,700 to subsidise 4 terraced houses in a poor area to unloop and put in chargers so that they can run second-hand electric cars
Answers please?
Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.
