Trump on Venezuela: "We're taking out for ourselves -- we deserve it. To the victor belong the spoils, right? -- we're taking out billions and billions of dollars a day."

It would seem the Home Office has now acquired the ability to impose, without visibility or accountability, shadow bans on students coming to British universities from particular countries. How? Because of the interaction between indiv visa decisions (made by HO alone) and visa rules for unis 1/?

When I say the politics will become increasingly obvious... I mean look at this. If you want to unite the left/centre and split the Tories, without a big spending committment there's no better option.

True about international weakness, but many are working around the US quietly. It is wrong to tolerate the pathetic weakness of US domestic politics, not just Democrats, it's Republicans too. The US has become "the evil empire".

Everyone in the US is the "we". That is how the US is being seen around the world, as a thieving, cheating, lying bully.

He is bragging about the theft, and lying about how much the US is getting.

The US is a thief, the country is stealing from others, like the tech bros it wants MORE! The US wants to steal wherever it can. Canada, Mexico, Cuba are on the list for subjugation/take over. Just blaming Trump is not enough, it is the responsibility of the US collectively.

The people saying AI will provide Universal High (not even Basic) Income keep ignoring the fact that the investors (Musk, Bezos) refuse to pay taxes, and with out income and wealth redistribution that's not possible. But tax billionaires... heavens no. They "productive"... utter bullshit.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Not happening, Donald! Just days after claiming it would be a “great discredit” if he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize went to South African anti-apartheid lawyer and human rights judge Navi Pillay.

They are just pissed that there is Nobel War and Genocide Prize. They would be a shoe in for a win on that one this year. (though Putin and his lot, and some of the Sudan guys, and Pajero Trump would also be in with a shout)

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Israel is a genocidal apartheid state, and you are justified in criticizing it today and every other day for being a genocidal apartheid state. Israel does not have a right to exist. I don’t care if that hurts your feelings.

Billionaire David Ruebens says he quit his London mansion to live in Monaco in response to Labour's punitive tax regime. Only problem with his story, he's been resident in Monaco since 2014. A true patriot, who just happens to have an aversion to paying tax.  www.theguardian.com/news/2026/oc...

Netanyahu held up a pager at the UN and boasted about Israeli surveillance and that everyone needs to watch their backs because Israel is tracking you. Pro Palestine accounts get mysteriously deleted from social media. YET Israel couldn’t detect a clumsy attack by land, air, and sea? 🐢 response.

Decades of disinvestment and austerity is actually a significant reason why stuff is so expensive! We don't invest in in-house staff, fund projects piecemeal, and do everything as a one-off, so everything costs more.

Lack of in house expertise and accountability is big part of the problem. You end up with buyers without knowledge of what they are buying. What is the solution? Start doing stuff in house, start with incremental improvements to build skills and expertise.
