So Evri sent a photo of "my parcel" in a random place, with a random person, didn't ring the bell, didn't deliver it at the time they said they did...
But you know Evri are hopeless, don't you. 🤬

Could it be something he said? Jeremy Clarkson has an estimated net worth of £59 million - imagine the horror of paying a 1% wealth tax on the value of his assets. How would the poor man survive?
They're all kicking off.

The last gaps of the old broken system that protected their power & wealth.

Change is coming.

Brexit, the gift that keeps on taking. You NEED some Myerscough Merch in your life!
The EU are removing their de minimis threshold next year. So that will be the EU added to the growing list of places that I can’t sell to.
As a small business it’s getting harder and harder to keep going.
Fuck brexit and all who sail in her. 🤬

EU Migration Commissioner says despite "alleged" human rights abuses in Libya, EU has "no alternative" to sending funds there. Read: paying militias to imprison, torture & rape migrants, put them into unsafe boats, then send the Libyan "Coast Guard" to shoot at them, kidnap them and ... repeat.

The Brexit "news" never is @nick1webb.bsky.social

Brexit choices were always
1/ Trying to take back (border) control, meaning greater rocketing prices for far less choice & empty shelves
OR
2/ Giving up all semblance of control meaning
unilaterally advantaging the EU (their exporters) & smugglers

👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.
Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.
