Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Corporate penetration of the NHS’: Revolving door raises concerns over ADHD review. Instead of expanding NHS capacity, govts hand contacts to private providers making vast profits. The same providers meet ministers to influence terms of reviews. More privatisations follow. Public money buys less.

An issue far too many don’t understand. We were all EU citizens but are now mixed status’ & visa requirements separate families Lives “turned upside down” by the demands of rules Some even contemplated taking their own lives because of the “striking” challenges faced by so-called “Brexit couples”

The Duchy of Cornwall says it collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House. Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR. Previously, King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall. He was paying rent to himself.

Billionaire Reform UK donor was in business with foundation linked to Iranian regime. He is moving his tax residency from Switzerland to the UK to make “regular payments” of more than “one or two million” to the party. Reform for sale to foreign money, made from dubious dealings.

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Some of Europe’s highest energy costs expected in Britain this winter. Since privatisation UK gas storage capacity reduced to about 8 - 12 days, EU has 80 -120 days. UK is net importer of electricity. Wars, privatisation and profiteering take toll.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Funny isn't it how the "we're protecting our streets" people always start menacing anyone who questions them
Danny Tommo's 'patriot platform' vigilantes were refused service in The George Inn, Portsmouth. They demanded to know why, despite the fact they do not have to be given a reason. Always make bigots feel unwelcome. Show the pub some love for doing the right thing. Things you love to see ✊❤️

UK law requires companies to pay dividends from realized profits, must maintain capital. Law is poorly enforced. Water companies flout it. Carillon abused it. Now Govt proposes that dividends can be paid without capital maintenance. Madness to appease corporations.

Everything for sale. Australia investors buy 19 UK ports, previously owned by investors from Canada, Singapore, Kuwait. City of London prefers speculation. Profits will be exported. Unlike many other countries, UK doesn't levy tax on dividends paid to foreign investors. archive.ph/oYm8k

UK Chancellor announces £2bn Energy Wealth Fund after Jackdaw gas project. PR gesture. UK squandered North Sea wealth in tax cuts for corporations and the rich. Norway didn't, has $2.4 trillion sovereign fund. UK govts fight class wars, long-term neglected.

Anglian Water fined puny £1.6M for polluting 14km of River Brain. Ignored alarms telling them that sewage was being dumped. Highest levels of toxic ammonia. AW has numerous criminal convictions. No exec prosecuted, licence to operate not cancelled. Fleecing normalized.
Labour betrayed us all. Investment in renewables would have sent a loud & clear message to the world. Instead, the world now knows: the UK is no longer a world leader.
Labour's Energy Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh admits that Jackdraw, "does not have an impact on affordability and bills" My view: What a sad day for Labour. Approving a more gas despite saying no new oil and gas.

The Duchy of Cornwall owned the by Prince of Wales is a giant business organization It is exempt from corporation and capital gains tax, uses infrastructure funded by others to make profit. Inevitably, leads to unfair competition and free-rider problem.

Official US policy is that Ukraine is a strategic partner, and Russia is an adversarial threat to US interests. Trump himself formalised it in Feb 2026. It was still the case when Starlink went down. If a US citizen harms allies and assists adversaries in a war, that's treason.
