There should be a retrospective exit tax on people like Ferdinand who benefited from state support when he was a kid in a council estate.
Disgusting.

A great thread from Seth.

The American Right is utterly lost. These are people who insist they're smarter than us but pretend to be unable to pronounce the words "Kamala," "Mamdani," or "Democratic Party" (as opposed to the incorrect "Democrat Party"). They invade and bankrupt US cities while giving $40 billion to Argentina.

A metals trader doing macro economics and tax policy will end as well as a hotel owner doing tariffs.

What has an isolationist Trump got to do with European security?

This policy statement needs refining or you'll not achieve your potential.

‘If you get called a racist when talking about immigration, do you know why that is..?’

@mrjamesob.bsky.social takes aim at people who complain they’re not ‘allowed’ to discuss one of the most popular talking points of the last decade.

Hi Virgin Media.

I think someone has hacked your customer database judging by the calls I'm receiving.
Have you reported anything to the IC?

Wouldn't be shocked if we are approaching these levels of greed.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This will make them break cover into a full-throated dark-skinned people are the problem approach. The country will see them for what they really are and have to decide which side they take.

Europe needs to forget about working with Trump, we aren't transactional enough for him.
