A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Irony metre klaxon 📣 ‘MoD asked Palantir & 5other council members how it could increase the pace at which it purchases software. Palantir already held a £75m MoD software contract & the ministry awarded it a further £240m deal without competition’ A model example of top-quality procurement - Jeeze

Hospitals bombed. Schools flattened. A population starved. Yet the EU–Israel Trade Agreement continues, with trade worth €45 billion. The European Union is complicit in Israel’s genocide and the murder of over 70,000 Palestinians. SCRAP THE AGREEMENT.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

The trade unions resisting a political donations cap in the UK are ragged-trousered philanthropists. Thanks to their delusion that a system allowing limitless donations enhances their power, they're in danger of handing the country to the far-right parties that billionaires support.
