Little people in search of self-enrichment and egos that need to be perpetually massaged.
Revolving doors.
Labour peer and former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson joins Palantir.
Palantir is trying to save its £330m NHS contract, wants more public contracts.
Nick Clegg, Rishi Sunak, George Osborne and others have taken similar jobs.

EUROPE AND CANADA, A NEW POWERFUL ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCE.
Canada is still America’s largest export market. It exports $800 billion to Canada. That’s about to change. Trump’s America tried to screw Canada. It’s going to pay a heavy price. Canada has a strong leader in Mark Carney and he believes an alliance with the most successful trading bloc in world history is a better bedfellow than an unreliable bullying America.
With the new proposed alliance between Europe and Canada, Europe gets the strong leader it needs.
Britain, which pathetically clings on to a non existent ‘special relationship’ with America, and doggedly refuses to get Brexit undone, needs to wake up or it’s going to miss out in a major way. With weak political leadership, its economic and political prospects hang in the balance.

HAVE YOU GONE TO SLEEP MR BURNHAM?
In case you haven’t noticed, the world is changing. New alliances are happening. The coming new alliance between the EU and Canada heralds a major change, an economic powerhouse and a new grouping of great strategic importance is about to emerge. It’s something Britain MUST be a part of. So, what are you doing about it? Are you sticking to Starmer’s ludicrous red lines? If you are, you’re a fool. Are you going to spend years negotiating amendments to Johnson’s hard Brexit deal? If you are, you’re a fool.
SHOW YOUR COLOURS, MR BURNHAM!
We need to know what your intentions are. Are we going to be stuck in the wilderness on our own slowly going down the pan, a sad, crumbling irrelevance or are you going to find some courage, act like a leader and take Britain back into Europe where it belongs?
Brexit has cost us billions. It, and its champion Mr Brexit Farage need to stuffed into the dustbin of history, which is where you’re going unless to get off your arse and get moving and get this sorted.
The clock is ticking.

Letter to our American friends:
Dear friends,
Isn’t it time you kicked out all those corrupt ‘shekel gobblers’ from Congress?
There’s been ‘state capture’ of your country by Israel. Isn’t it time you got your country back?
Israel has persuaded Congress to send it all the arms and munitions it needs for its endless wars. It’s used those weapons to commit genocide and dragged you into an illegal and unwinable war with Iran. Isn’t it time you demanded an end to the supply of arms to Israel?
A huge chunk of your media is controlled by pro Netanyahu supporting Zionists who create distortions by pumping out lies and pro Israel propaganda. Isn’t it time you split up these vast media conglomerates and introduced new legislation to regulate your media?
Unbeknown to so many of you, Israel has been a malign Influence in your country almost since its inception. From the assassination of Kennedy, to the stealing of enriched uranium and nuclear triggers to 9/11. What it has done and what it is doing needs to be exposed so that everybody is aware of what’s been going on, doesn’t it?
Israel, a tiny country of 10 million souls has been, and is still actively involved in determining your future and the future of your country. Are you happy about that? It’s time to confront the problem, isn’t it?
The pro Israel community in your country is small, but it’s very wealthy. It uses its money to throw its weight around. It brazenly intimidates, threatens and punishes those who get in its way or who criticise Israel. This isn’t acceptable, is it?
IT’S WAKE UP TIME, AMERICA!
It’s time to face up to these problems, isn’t it? IT’S TIME TO GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK - and one of the easiest ways of doing that? TAKE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
The world needs you to act - and soon.
Good luck!

What really causes inflation? It isn’t money creation youtu.be/Vi-hQDibhK4?si=cEYA…. And for those with very little understanding of economics who claim it does, as I show, the evidence doesn't support their case.
AND WHERE IS BREXIT BRITAIN?
Are those mediocre mugwumps who govern us awake? The world is changing. Have they noticed? Here we are stuck with hard Brexit, out on our own and slowly going down the pan, and all we get is announcements about bus fares! WAKE UP, ENGLAND!
It is an ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC IMPERATIVE we rejoin the European Union. Our special relationship with the US is over - it hasn’t existed in any meaningful form for years. Our future is in Europe, and an EU with Canada as an associate member is something we need to be part of. So, can we please stop fannying around and get on with rejoining!
CAN WE HAVE SOME ACTION PLEASE!

CLIMATE CHANGE - WE’VE BEEN CONNED!
Were you aware that military emissions, including those created by war are excluded from the emissions figures?
The United States government was the principal force behind this exemption - and it goes back to Kyoto. The rest of the world, appears to have been silent on this issue - or those who represent us at the COP conferences are either not being reported, have been intimidated by the US, or they’re asleep at the wheel.
No wonder the US wanted an exemption. Their military industrial complex demands perpetual war because it makes nasty, greedy little men billions of dollars, and its corrupt Congress and war mongering, deluded presidents deliver those wars while pretending to be concerned about climate change.
WE NEED COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY AND AN END TO THIS EXEMPTION!
The wars that are now in progress must be pushing the emission figures through the roof.
In the destruction of Gaza by Israel - facilitated by the US - the amount of bombs dropped amounted to several times the power of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. And then there’s Iran and Ukraine. It’s got to stop or the world won’t survive.
THE EXEMPTION NEEDS TO BE DISALLOWED AT THE NEXT COP CONFERENCE. WE WANT THE TRUTH!
Meanwhile climate change accelerates.

Extraordinary journalism from @NewYorker, on Jared Kushner's catastrophic diplomacy, conflicts of interest, arrogance. He represents "a new kind of Washington figure, for whom public office serves as a means to extraordinary wealth"

Camden Labour led by their candidate to be Starmer’s replacement, have done everything possible to continue to financially support those engaged in genocide. The vast majority of Camden residents don’t want our council’s money invested in the machinery of slaughter. This Labour council is morally corrupt. In the Holborn & St.Pancras by-election let’s deliver the message that we reject not only Starmer but everything he stands for, including his complicity in genocide
After three hours, they ran out of time for the motion and the meeting ended with Gaza protesters shouting down at council leader Sagal Abdi-Wali, the Labour candidate in Holborn and St Pancras.
Meetings at the Town Hall have been repeatedly disrupted by demonstrations relating to council pension deposits in arms companies.
To quote King Henry the Second (with a little licence)
“Will nobody rid us of these murderous morons?”
WE’RE SICK OF ENDLESS WAR. SICK OF THIS ENDLESS KILLING.
America’s lust for perpetual war and its support that evil little country Israel, MUST STOP! We are heading for Armageddon and it’s all courtesy of these morons - and America’s corrupt political system.
OH FFS! This has to be stopped!
The Trump administration is preparing a multibillion-dollar sale of 40,000 bombs that weigh 2,000 pounds each, including 20,000 MK-84s, one official said.
An MK-84 explosion can rip through metal and concrete, and can create large craters in the earth. wapo.st/4Ae8VTH

🇬🇧🇪🇺Britons demand justice over Brexit.
Support for rejoining the EU is at a record high.
🔸 61% now support rejoining the EU, highest ever recorder
🔸 Brexit has damaged GDP, productivity, investment and wages.
🔸 Falling EU immigration was simply replaced by much higher non-EU immigration.
🔸 Support for leaving the UK is growing across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
2016 marked the beginning of the greatest social, economic and geopolitical decline in modern British history.
Britain’s future is European and Labour must have the courage to recognise it.

Interest rates are rising, but history says they should be falling. youtu.be/vqH1yJ-zqg8?si=sYNk… Are markets trying to force rates up when they should fall in real terms in wartime - which is what we are living through? I think they are, and the cost will be very high.
WHAT HOLD DOES ISRAEL HAVE OVER THIS GOVERNMENT THAT PREVENTS IT FROM DOING WHAT’S RIGHT?
It’s not right to have supported Israel while it was committing genocide. It’s not right to continue to support Israel, a country intent on the of extermination of the Palestinian people. It’s not right not to ban arms sales to Israel. It’s not right to allow Israel and its lobby to have any influence on British politics and for it to have any influence on who or what is proscribed. It’s not right that this government, its MPs and its cabinet members continue to accept donations from supporters of Israel. It’s not right peaceful protesters are arrested for demonstrating against Israel’s genocide and in support of the Palestinian people.
WHY IS OUR GOVERNMENT INCAPABLE OF DOING WHAT’S RIGHT IS RIGHT?
Is it scared of being accused of being anti semitic, words weaponised by Israel to the point they are now meaningless?
Does Israel have kompromat on Labour over the ousting of Corbyn and the false claims of anti semitism? The embassy in London WAS involved.
The message is simple. COME CLEAN AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT. It’s not too much to ask.

UNTIL MONEY IS TAKEN OUT OF POLITICS, POLITICS IS A WASTE OF TIME!
Reform’s large donations have been a wake up call for the political class who consistently sidestep doing anything about party funding and money in politics because politics is their means of self-enrichment.
UNTIL MONEY IS TAKEN OUT OF POLITICS IT WILL REMAIN CORRUPT!
Reform poses a real threat to British politics and to everything we value and hold dear. It has no interest in the interests of the British people. Elected, it will usher in authoritarianism and immiserate Britain further.
Change only happens in politics when there’s crisis. Well, this crisis has been coming down the road for a long time. Reform exists because of a failure of politics. The crisis caused by their fat war chest of dodgy donations exists because of a failure to address the issue of party funding. Now our feckless politicians are being forced to act. Will they address the issue of money in politics properly? Unlikely. A ‘half measure’ is on the way to deal with the immediate Reform problem. But there’ll be no fundamental change. Corrupt politics isn’t going away any time soon.
WHAT TRULY AWFUL PEOPLE!
‘UK Lawyers for Israel’ are trying to get the British government to proscribe Mèdecins sans Frontièrs!!
Who are these people? This is a deliberate attempt to shut down people from supporting an organisation that has probably done more to help the people of Palestine than any other.
They don’t want the truth, the terrible details of Israel’s genocide to be known.
DAMN UK LAWYERS FOR ISRAEL whoever they may be.
And can we please STOP SUPPORTING ISRAEL!
