Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at welfare cuts.
Why do govts not cut corporate welfare?
Subsidies for auto, steel, oil, gas, biomass, internet, shipbuilding and others, without any equity stake.
Profiteering by energy, water, phone, house builders, care home, dental care companies.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at more welfare cuts after previous rebellion - but authority on shaky ground
The government's earlier efforts to reform welfare and save £5bn ended in an inglorious failure.

I remain genuinely gobsmacked that this wasn’t picked up more. The Alex Jones who *repeatedly accused grieving parents of making up their children’s murders*.
Anyway, “after the news we’ll be joined by Nigel Farage & definitely won’t be asking him about any of this…”

On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

sadly you can't take it as accurate as I've just tried it on accounts where I'm 100% where they are run from, because they're mine and it's wildly inaccurate. At best the code is making poor assumptions, at worst, it's deliberately chaotic disinformation.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

It produces a performative ecosystem. Actors aren’t communicating; they’re staging provocations for yield. The result is disordered discourse: signals detached from truth, identity shaped by escalation, and a feedback loop where the performance eclipses reality itself.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

Read article through www.thenerve.news w/ full timeline recounting all times Gill took money & what was required of him from his Russian contacts. A far greater & more in depth report than any from other news media.
Also left me with sad thought as to how little a Reform MP's soul was worth.
