This company is insolvent. It is insolvent because it over optimistically over leveraged. Put it into administration, sell off the business. Tell the lenders to take a jump (politely). www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It's possible the split with Elon will persist, divide MAGA, and weaken Trump. I think it far more likely that there'll be no real divide in the ranks, Trump will crush Elon, and Trump will emerge stronger than ever. It's Putin vs. Khodorkovsky, not a fight between equals.

Despite damning evidence the govt clinging on to private ownership of water in England; people fleeced for 36 years. Prospect is sewage dumping, health hazards, lack of investment, higher domestic/business costs, tax dodges, asset-stripping. Public ownership is the only way out.

Few Hamilton by-election thoughts: 1. Expectations matter - this was an area where Labour won a Westminster by-election on a massive swing less than two years ago and won in a general election less than one year ago get Labour’s victory yesterday is a massive shock given poling woes.

Hamilton redux: * A surprise morale booster for Labour * A strong Reform performance 😬 * A terrible result for the SNP * An expected Tory nightmare Meanwhile, in Scotland is a beacon of tolerance and light and is nothing like England at all news, the Reform + Tory vote was higher than the SNP’s.

If what Musk is posting about Trump tonight is true, it begs the question of why he was happy to sit on this information while he was in government. I know many people are enjoying this cage fight, but what a sickening display of the morals behind this grotesque political alliance.
