It’s exactly this kind of behaviour which undermines trust in Parliament and which I was keen to call out in last week’s House of Lords reform debate in Westminster Hall. Check out my contribution here ⬇️

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail.

It is genuinely weird that Trump has spent his whole life surrounded by extraordinary wealth and still has the absolute trashiest, tackiest taste imaginable.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

"The report found Israeli authorities and forces had continued to 'commit genocidal acts' even after the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, 'with the intent to destroy the Palestinian people'." No surprise that this got hardly any mainstream coverage. #GazaGenocide www.nine.com.au/world-news/m...

Liz Truss’s Sky News turn this morning was textbook Truss: deny, deflect, and blame everyone but herself, despite the 2022 mini budget being one of the most documented economic fiascos in recent UK history. Her comments only underlined how little grasp she has of her own responsibility.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

If you are a republican voter, ask yourself two questions: 1) Who is in control of the entire government and can influence gas prices? 2) Do I like paying higher gas prices or do I like paying lower gas prices? Vote your answer.

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

🚨 HERE WE GO AGAIN: GAS PRICES JUST JUMPED. The national average shot up overnight to $4.29 a gallon — and diesel climbed to $6.32. Americans are getting hammered at the pump and at the checkout line. If you’re sick of paying the price, remember in November — and VOTE OUT all Republicans!
