2. And this one where Jeffrey Gundlach goes into similar things for the US: youtu.be/n7JV_DaBFXk?...

Iiuc they are both saying that the current trajectory is unsustainable.

Someone posted a link to a YouTube called Gary’s Economics, where he was discussing the budget and making the point that if we endlessly borrow, the lenders control us and that isn’t democracy and the way out is wealth tax, but as the wealthy set policy…interesting watch.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

A recent poll of over 7000 people & many focus groups confirmed that 74% of Britons feel climate change is important or very important. Another poll this year found that just 4% of Britons deny climate change. People remain ahead of our cowardly politicians buckling to Farage, Reform UK & Junk Tanks

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.

I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.

Farage caused the boats because he NEEDS the boats. Without them he's a busted flush without an anger button to keep pressing.

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population.

The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined.

Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.

This is a mass movement of people who are serious about replacing Labour and taking the fight to Reform.

And we're only getting started.
