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.

Politicians should look at the UK economy as a CEO would, says Lloyds Bank CEO From a bank that hasn't investigated HBOS frauds. No thank you. Companies enrich shareholders. Countries have entirely different purpose, governance, accountability. Must not be treated as corporations. archive.ph/lj45s

Yup🤔...

Sending my deepest condolences to BC as they elected a CONservative government after 93 years. There’s probably a reason why it’s been that long! Was hoping after hearing and seeing what your neighbour Alberta is going through a better decision would of been made 💔

I love this part of my chosen home. Such beauty and such memories of quiet happiness enjoying nature with my son.

Beware of finance industry lobbying. It hired PwC (the firm that delivers dud audits) to produce a report, claiming that UK banks face highest rates of tax. The report included taxes not borne by banks. Omitted countries that levy higher rates of taxes. Integrity never gets in the way of profits.

No, no, Obama got this wrong: All this to distract from the Epstein files, corruption, failed policies, and internal unrest in the US itself.

What is it with billionaires and taxes? What change in his lifestyle would these taxes cause? Would the guy even notice? What, he doesn’t have enough money already? www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Corporate Welfare Rolls-Royce closing in on £200m govt subsidy to fund development of new engine. Free money. No means-testing. Govt not taking equity stake, money not repayable. RR had operating profit of £3.5bn in 2024-25, will hand up to £9bn to shareholders over next 3 years. archive.ph/r18wm

And this is what Houston has invited to Nova Scotia. Destruction, big benefits to the operator, and little benefit to #NovaScotia.

Yesterday a parent was surprised to learn that 1 adult supervises 5 classrooms of students, including a Grade 1 class, at lunch. We’ve been trying for a long time but we’re not doing a good job getting the word out about how education cuts are impacting kids during every part of the school day.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says we need to “accept some bad things happening” in exchange for the benefits of AI. Hello? No we do not. In fact, we can rein in AI before it’s too late. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_sCRveGK50

Laut Carsten Linnemann sollte der soziale Kahlschlag beim Bürgergeld »sehr viele« Milliarden einsparen Eingespart hat es gar nichts Für diese Fehleinschätzung wurde er zum Gesundheitsminister befördert und nun soll der soziale Kahlschlag bei den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen »Milliarden einsparen« 🤔

THIS 👇 AS WELL.......

Exactly

Nathan Cullen on the immigration questions: "This is classic dog whistle politics. Danielle Smith was always going to lose this referendum and needed something else to talk about. Unfortunately, blaming immigrants writ large is something that the right sometimes reach for out of desperation."

#Alberta a suggestion…if you along with many other Canadians are feeling devastated about the results of the questions regarding immigrants, please make an extra effort to be kind and welcoming to those that the UCP have chosen to “other” as I imagine they are feeling even worse than we are. 🥹🇨🇦🥹

And now I’m waiting for the explanation why adding to GHG emissions to fuel data centres nobody needs is just fine. Must be that Claude hallucinated a brilliant way to cool the planet.

🤬🤬🤬

Show up and show Houston what we think of this bullshit. #NovaScotia

You can tell Monopoly is an old game because there’s a luxury tax and rich people can go to jail.

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

I don’t Like this phrase and disagree with it….. “People don’t want to work anymore.” NO. People want to work one job and afford rent.

Wunderbar auf den Punkt gebracht. 👍

Scientists urge UK govt to launch inquiry into unequal health impacts of air pollution. Rivers polluted. Datacentres adding to pollution. Richest 1% produce up to 56 times more carbon emissions than the poorest 50%. Don't bear the social cost. Redistribution can save lives, cut healthcare costs.

‘It’s the best feeling’: how Copenhagen gave cyclists a green wave. “Traffic lights are synchronised so a rush-hour cyclist at 20km/h can catch green lights all the way.” If you want people to choose not to drive, make the non-driving trip better & easier for them. It’s as simple as that, really.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.
