What is so important to the ultra-rich that they must seize and destroy the world's resources, hold down wages and crush organised labour, capture politics to reduce the tax they pay, fund the far right to stifle democracy? Here's an answer. A Hermes Birkin 35 Diamond Bag. On sale for £449,555.68

There’s something deeply repellent about Reform’s vengeful and racist obsession to take money from the most vulnerable when they’re under multiple investigations for breaking rules, dodging tax and gorging on £millions for themselves. (And trashing our EU agreement is just so thick it hurts) iPaper
EU'would retaliate on welfare plan'
By Arj Singh
The EU could launch a trade war against the UK and would probably strip British expats of benefits in retaliation to Reform's plan to ban foreign nationals from nearly all welfare payments.
Nigel Farage was warned that Brussels was likely to react with fury to his party's plan to bar foreign nationals, including EU citizens with settled status, from claiming most benefits in Britain.
Under the terms of Brexit, the EU could also launch economic retaliation, for exampleby suspending parts of the trade deal between the two sides including putting up tariffs that would hit the economy. Anand Menon, the director of the think-tank UK in a Changing Europe told The i Paper: "The proposals would breach the terms of the withdrawal agreement and the EU will doubtless retaliate, whether that be by making life harder for Britons in the EU or by triggering retaliatory trade measures.
"Either way, it will impact severely on UK-EU relations."
Reform's Treasury spokesman, Robert Jenrick, insisted that the ban was necessary because
"forcing British workers to pay for the benefits of foreigners is not just economically illiterate but plain immoral".

lol okay www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...
A few weeks earlier, the group, the Antwerp World Diamond Center, which handles most of the world’s rough diamonds and about half of its polished stones, had unveiled an 18-karat gold ring the size of a watch. The ring was encrusted with 321 diamonds and dozens of sapphires, emeralds and rubies, and it was a gift to Mr. Trump to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

The ring features two large diamond “Ts” on either side, and “45” and “47” — references to Mr. Trump’s presidential terms — ringed in diamonds in a Superman-style logo. On its interior is engraved, “Crafted in Antwerp for Donald John Trump.”[highlight] There is no evidence that the gift of the ring directly affected the president’s thinking on the tariff exclusion for the diamond industry. [/highlight] But the new list of exemptions has renewed questions about which industries should be exempt from tariffs, and why.

Have been busy so recycling an image from a couple of weeks ago for #TerrierTuesday – demonstrates the difficulties of terrier curiosity 😆. When Alfie's around I can't vacuum, mow the lawn or (clearly) water the garden. Has to be locked away and then he makes an unholy racket. Good job he's cute...
