Inequality is killing us. Healthy life expectancy gap between poor and rich is nearly 20 years. Govts cuddle fiscal rules, but no targets for healthcare, poverty reduction, better housing, environment or income distribution. Tackling inequalities must be a legal obligation.

Nigel Farage is breaking British company law. Missed a deadline to file a confirmation statement with Companies House. Failed to verify his identity, required by law. Failure to comply is a criminal offence. Low attendance in parliament but busy with 2nd jobs, collecting money from foreign donors.

A Border Patrol official arrested a 19 yo citizen from Albuquerque in Arizona who didn’t have ID on him, claimed he ‘admitted’ to illegally crossing the border, abducted + ICE imprisoned him for 10 days, and would have deported him to Mexico if his family hadn’t tracked him down and provided his ID.
His girlfriend’s aunt Grace Layva says she and her family made numerous calls looking for him before they found out he was being detained in the Florence Correctional Center, which Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses to detain people.

Another family member drove to the detention center, about 70 miles northwest of Tucson, but said officials wouldn’t provide any information or release him.

ICE did not respond to a request for comment about the wrongful detention.

The family later provided officials with his birth certificate and social security card.

“He did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him,” Layva said. “I think they would have kept him. I think they would have if they would have not got that information yesterday in the court and gave that to ICE and the Border Patrol. He probably would have been deported already to Mexico.”
