I am taking my show 'JUPITER' on tour next year. The show is a story about a time in my life when I was an estate agent on the planet Jupiter. One day a well dressed young couple came in and said they were thinking about relocating to Earth. The story goes from there really.

We urgently need to get the influence of oil and gas companies out of politics A company that's heavily invested in gas should not be the sponsor of a climate event with decision-makers there

Businessman in the Eye: Tax exile Ineos boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe loves complaining about anything – from high energy prices to taxes – that doesn’t suit him. But he’s more forgetful about the British economic policies and fortuitous conditions that have bestowed vast riches on him.

Zia Yusuf is asked about Suella Braverman saying you have to be white to be English He respectfully disagrees but says people have legitimate concerns & we shouldnt smear them. No, its really simple. People who say you can't be English if you're black or brown are racist.

WITHOUT a Wealth Tax someone with £11M could buy a decent family hatchback... But they probably already have a Ferrari (or 2). WITH a Wealth Tax, we could have free childcare for all AND build 90K new social homes. Oh, & someone with £10,980,000 could STILL buy a new hatchback.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
