There are too many people working hard but struggling

There are too many essential jobs that don't pay livable wages.

The economy is not only about stock prices, the Forbes rankings, and shiny start-ups. It’s strong only when it’s fair.

FBI fires top official amid Kash Patel’s outrage over reports of agency jet use Patel reportedly became furious after stories revealed he flew to visit girlfriend and fired official who oversees fleet A top FBI official with 27 years standing has reportedly been fired by the bureau after its director, Kash Patel, became enraged by press stories revealing he had used a government jet to travel to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match.

The driver "managed to contact the control centre at Network Rail and get the train diverted onto the slow line", Calder says. "That was absolutely crucial because this train was scheduled to be travelling through Huntingdon station on the tracks with no platform at 125mph." "It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere, which would have been very difficult." Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest possible way" thanks to the "incredible professionalism from the driver and the police". Train drivers are trained on how to take appropriate action, he adds,

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

One month after Jeffrey Epstein died in a jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, JPMorgan Chase reported to US authorities of more than one billion dollars in transactions it viewed as suspicious, according to newly unsealed court records.

This alone should serve to confirm to everyone that Musk is just a belligerent Nazi with too much money and a personal media vehicle to crash into whatever he sees fit to destroy. The UK along with the EU should halt him in his tracks and sanction him like a rogue state which he financially is.

Private Eye

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

The ppl behind the flags. Ppl smugglers, sex toy salesmen, and grifters asking for donations to an unregistered company. According to Farage they're just ordinary ppl sticking two fingers up to the establishment. This article tells a different story.

Scottish Labour MPs and MSPs stayed silent on US whisky tariffs, FOI reveals

EXCLUSIVE: Not one single Scottish Labour MP or MSP pushed the UK Government to get a better deal for Scotch whisky in the months after the trade agreement with the US was announced

A sensible autocrat never lets this be seen. Ever. And above all, *never* when about to immiserate one in nine of your population.

It’s not just bad politics (and already picked up as such), it makes people have to see - and that’s not something you want them to do.

Which is going to collapse first Russia or the USA?

Latest poll showing 10 point lead for Yes is still weighted heavily toward 2024 Labour voters so may understate it?

Is Reform using Sarah Pochin's racist comments to test public opinion? | The News Agents Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin has been condemned for “racist” comments about being driven “mad” by seeing TV adverts featuring Black or Asian families. Is she being used as a “canary” by Nigel Farage?

"Nigel Farage doesn't want to be in the burqa chat. He doesn't want to be in the racist chat, he wants to make the party appear more mainstream.

"But it is very helpful for him, and for the party, to have somebody that is pushing at the door of racism"

FM John Swinney will ignore the negative ‘know your place, Swinney’ insults from Douglas Alexander & meet with the US Ambassador today to discuss whisky tariffs. When Starmer promised ‘a reset’ in relations with Scotland, he meant treating Scotland’s leaders with even more disdain than the Tories.

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

Good news!

Over £500 million from your SNP Government for Scotland’s GPs - the largest investment in core GP services ever.

This funding will recruit and retain more doctors, make it easier to get an appointment, and deliver digital prescriptions to save you time.

This is so pertinent Fionna. Brave journalists such as @carolecadwalla.bsky.social have been warning us about Russian interference in our democratic system.

Whilst Manuel “I know nothing” Farage would have us believe he was stunned to hear of Gill’s Russian asset work it really is not remotely believable.
