Despite the nice accent and fancy title, this woman is nothing more than a common thief. A common thief with the power of the state behind her.

Javier Milei claims to admire Margaret Thatcher but forgets this lesson: Britain does not surrender to bullies.
If he wants a stronger Argentina, he should build its economy, not threaten others.
But there’s also a lesson here for our sleepy Labour government. The madness of surrendering the Chagos Islands means other countries are now trying their luck.
If we do not defend our own interests, whether on energy or territory, others will happily exploit that weakness.
Awful. Hope this account will have some uplifting news in the coming weeks to help us move past this massive aviation tragedy.

@cjsnowdon picks apart the numbers behind @garyseconomics' flagship policy in @TheCriticMag.
Dear oh dear @bphillipsonMP

I cannot understand this push to make capital gains tax equal to income tax.
You earn £20,000 and you pay tax on it. Simple.
But if you own an asset… the value of that asset could go up or down. Maybe you end up selling it at a loss.
Will the government introduce a capital loss subsidy to cover this?
CGT is lower than income tax to account for the risk of losing money - a risk that does not exist for income.

No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

If you listened to the British media today, you'd think Henry Nowak was killed by Nigel Farage's comments.

I’m not going to amplify Reform’s ad by sharing it, but the wilful misrepresentation of Kemi Badenoch - selectively quoting what she said about ‘white lives matter’ - is disgraceful and dangerous.
It needs to be challenged, including by those of us who are not Conservatives.

Reform putting out an attack ad on Kemi Badenoch misquoting her over Henry Nowak’s tragic death is a deeply misguided, ugly and offensive move.
A young British man was murdered. He died cuffed and begging for his life, alone in the street.
To weaponise his death, so vindictively, in order to make a viciously deceitful graphic attacking a political opponent is low.
I am not in the same party as Kemi Badenoch. In fact, we are competing for votes in Makerfield. I disagree with her on a great many number of policies.
I would never manipulate the death of an innocent young man to score petty party political points, especially using such blatant lies.
It’s just not how we conduct ourselves in Britain.
Principles still matter, or at least they should.
Oh my fucking god. This is the most horrible thing I have ever seen.
The boy was telling them he’d been stabbed, telling them he couldn’t breathe, and the police held him down on the ground and cuffed his hands behind his back.
“I don’t think you have mate.”
“I know he hasn’t but we have to check don’t we.”
Something, somewhere, has gone very very wrong that someone can die like this.
I don’t even know what else to type.
