HSBC quarterly pre-tax profits surge 32% to $9.6bn (£7.14bn). Banks receive bailouts, subsidies, pay measly return to savers, hike charges, rely on the state as lender of the last resort but threaten retaliation if taxed. Must levy windfall tax.

Me: "You've said 'because of the war' maybe 7 times..." Ex-Trump adviser: "Because it spiked prices..." Me: "But you're treating the war like it's a natural disaster... like it fell from the sky. The war was started by your guy, deliberately, a war of choice." Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLJV...

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

It’s amazing that MAGA labels every election result is doesn’t like as “stolen” or an example of “fraud “, but when Putin “wins” almost 90% of the vote in his crooked elections, they don’t make a peep.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

This is a non story. The police chief cites actual figures. Farage challenges actual figures. Farage has no basis for doing this. Why did the BBC run this?

Unless we are willing have an honest & open discussion about the negative impact of Brexit - which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the UK - Britain’s growth, productivity and living standards will continue to be weighed down by the structural handicap of Brexit

“Look in the mirror, 🇺🇸”. No matter how many times you say “this is not who we are as a country”; right now it IS. 🇺🇸 has twice elected a corrupt, selfish bully who abandons allies, deals with enemies, rejects science and medicine, attacks other countries, harms the vulnerable and pardons criminals.

It comes after years of cover-ups & denials not least from Boris Johnson who was in charge of MI6 as foreign minister at the time & whose first act as PM was to ennoble the Baron of Siberia. But it also went beyond Johnson & Starmer continued it too. We now finally need some sunlight. 2/

Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.
