There are many ways in which every billionaire is a policy failure, but the most corrosive and destructive way in which billionaires are policy failures is this: billionaires, despite being unelected and unaccountable, possess the power to control - and ruin - millions of peoples' lives.

The Warner Brother tower posed against a vintage map of Burbank, keeling over, tearing up a huge clot of sod and concrete. Standing atop of the tower, forcing it down, is a sad, spavined donkey in Democratic Party livery. Being crushed under the tower is the California flag bear, with blood pouring out of its eye and mouth.

Beyond the Pale Books @btpbooks.bsky.social have made available a Pdf of ‘Garvaghy: A community Under Siege’ published in 1999. It is highly recommended, esp for the NIO and PSNI to understand the community’s trauma and the extent of violence associated with past Orange Order marches in Portadown.

I once had the good fortune of sitting next to Nathan at a conference round table. I’ve never experienced imposter syndrome as much before or since! I totally agree with your assessment

Will do! I’m currently going back to listen to all the ones I missed as a latecomer to the show. It’s been back-to-back bastards for weeks now (and I’m only at 2021!). Love the show!

Nooooo! I’m so sorry you were put in that position. I just finished listening to your audio book today and it was brilliant - your audience will follow wherever you go! I won’t be listening to Monkey Cage without you on it. It wouldn’t be the same.

I listened to the audio book because you read it beautifully. Then I bought the hard copy because I just needed to be able to dip in and out of this great wee book!

Trump's tariffs don't make sense because the country he has declared war on most strongly is the USA. Never has such a thing happened before. It's the job of the rest of the world to move on as quickly as possible. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Trump’s tariffs aren’t meant to make economic sense

The Guardian had an article yesterday headlined: I am sure that a sub-editor who wrote the headline thought that it was logical. It was not. Of course they Trump's tariffs do not make sense. These...
