Trump's sons get board seats. Their companies get federal contracts. Trump trades stocks from the Oval Office. Every piece of this stinks: a family using the White House as a private ATM while ordinary people get crushed by bills they can barely pay. #StopTrumpCorruption

Trans-Pacific trade deal kicks in today. It “makes the value to Britain’s coffers look like a rounding error” when compared to the ongoing economic cratering of not being in the EU Single Market. The slavish protection given to Brexit defies belief. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
Burnham warned transpacific trade boost will not cover Brexit losses
The warnings come after The Independent revealed last week that the UK has lost
£11.7bn a year in trade as a result of leaving the
EU while 98.2 per cent of businesses want access to the single market againBREXIT

Politicians like Anthony Albanese say stuff like "now is not the time to discuss climate" in the wake of fossil-fuelled disasters because they know that **there is no single better time** to talk about it, and his fossil fuel donors know that too.
News article screenshot headlined "Climate change a debate for later, PM says on Nepal floods," showing a serious middle-aged man wearing glasses and a light-blue button-up shirt outdoors against blurred trees.
PRIME MINISTER: Look, I think on Nepal, there will be time to examine the science and what has occurred here. My thoughts are solely focused, at this point in time, on the families and on the extraordinarily difficult time that we’re going through and offering our support to Nepal. And we'll continue to do that. Those debates will take place. But I don't think, from Australia's perspective, now's the time. My focus is very much on people who are incredibly traumatised by not knowing what has happened to their loved ones.

There were 37 days between Farage triggering his pointless Clacton by-election and it actually being held (which was also during the school Summer holidays) But if you already had a holiday booked for that date then you were, apparently, disenfranchising yourself. Fucks sake they are so moronic.

Brexit has taken up so much time, energy and resource to achieve the square root of fuck all. And now we’re trapped by it because no one has the guts to say how shit it is and how we need to get over ourselves and engage effectively with the EU again. It’s unforgivably tedious.

It was noticeable that Lee Anderson had abandoned this claim on Radio 4 this morning, saying instead that Farage wanted to celebrate with "real people". Farage has a history of making these lurid claims (like his phone being hacked by Russians) then dropping them when they've served their purpose.
