Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Still remember the crushing moment as a young researcher when I realised that proving something through evidence had damn near no impact on social policy unless it was politically useful to believe it.

A sane tax system has the same rate of tax in income and capital but only taxes real gain. The argument was made best by noted communist Nigel Lawson in his 1988 Budget:

The terms 'right wing' & 'left wing' are so outdated. The political landscape is so much more complex in the west. There are no such strict divides anymore. It's much more appropriate to discuss issues with ref to class, education, religion & all in the general context of prog liberalism.

Peter Mandelson is telling the truth on one thing: the idea he was bought for a $4k “bursary” or a $75k gift is ridiculous The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer And Epstein enabled that payday Here’s the evidence. 🧵
