1 million acres of pristine public land in Alaska will now be open to fossil fuel drilling, thanks to Republicans in Congress.

Big Oil spent nearly $500 million lobbying and boosting friendly candidates last year β€” and now they're getting a big return on their investment.

Now imagine Stephen Pollard and the Jewish Chronicle's reaction if the revelations about historic antisemitism had concerned Jeremy Corbyn or Keir Starmer or indeed anyone on the centre/left.
It's a level of grotesque, cynical hypocrisy that I genuinely find quite hard to process.

I’ve been thinking about this too. It also makes it easier to cope with the idea that ars might win the league, not because they’re any good, just all other teams are so bad at the moment

One super rich.

Christopher Harbourne, Thai based since 2019 now holds Thai citizenship under the name of Chakrit Sakunkrit.

An exponent of blockchain platforms.

In 2022 became the 3rd biggest shareholder in Ministry of Defence research spin-off QinetiQ

Why so interested in his old home country?

Oh Cuti. Winding up the crowd, not once, but twice and scoring the best goal they will likely see this season.

2 shots. 2 goals.

Our captain.

Trying to be generous, but subs should have been made at least five minutes before that goal. That’s on the manager

Reminder: A man once flattened live on air by Mick Lynch - who reduced him to a blinking screensaver in under 30 seconds - is now hailed by Reform as some kind of intellectual prize. #ukpolitics

Conservatives Promote JCB's 'Revolutionary' Pothole Machine While Taking Millions of Pounds in Donations from the Company Senior Conservatives have repeatedly promoted a pothole repair machine made by a company which has donated huge sums to the party and its MPs

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".

He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Everyone saw this coming.

Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.

And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.
