@sturdyalex.bsky.social & @pimlicat.bsky.social - You guys should really talk to @garyseconomics.bsky.social. It's all about Wealth Inequality. And it's unreal how he explains it. If you've not heard of him he wrote The Trading Game. Have him on the podcast, people need to hear about it, and care!

We, Europe & Ukraine are alone. The UK has to increase VAT, Income Tax and all other aspects of UK HMG income to rapidly ramp up the Ministry of Defence & UK Armed Forces capability. It will be awful financially, but subjugation and compromise is far, far worse.

www.arte.tv/en/videos/11... - Devastating documentary. Incredible work from Oksana Karpovych & her team. Free to watch (at least in UK)

@restisclassified.bsky.social - I'm in lads 💥

Reform the system, HMG needs to start to address wealth inequality in the UK. Don't listen to me, listen to someone that really understands it: youtu.be/XCnImxVWbvc?...

The huge @bestforbritain MRP by @yougov out yesterday delved deeply in to the 2024 Lab coalition. Con19-Lab24 switchers, who swept Keir Starmer into Number 10, are twice as likely to say they support the UK aligning with EU standards and regulations compared to those who say they don’t (42%to 18%)

youtu.be/vJUmx_bSolI?... - Just chucking this out there. Have a top weekend 💥

Highly recommend @garyseconomics.bsky.social for info on the economy, assets & wealth distribution. He explains the current and future situations regarding the majority of the population calmly and clearly. If things continue as they are, our politics & lives are going to get worse... and worse.

I'm already distinctly bored with Captain Ketamine and The Fascists. Can we all talk about pictures of cats or weird crisp flavours for the next 4 years instead? Or would that just be naive...

#ManUnited fans need to calm the funky-dog down. This is a problem decades in the making, and INEOS were never going to solve the foundational issues in one season, or two, or even three. Amorim might get us there, but wait until he's replaced at least 60% of the squad before judgement.

Really pleased @libdems.org.uk are making the right noises around trade with the EU - Necessary changes needed to be addressed in an adult manner. It's not about betraying Brexit, it's about increasing trade with our closest neighbours, for the UK to succeed.

A new UK-EU Customs Union, would turbo-charge Britain’s economy. We can be far more positive and ambitious. That is how we can protect our economy, defend European security, and deal with President Trump from a position of strength, not weakness.

inews.co.uk/opinion/rach... - @iandunt.bsky.social talking sense (as usual). The CX absolutely needs to hold her nerve, and keep pushing forward.

People on BlueSky shitting on Starmer and Reeves are fucking pathetic. The last 14 years were an utter shit show from the the other Party and it's going to take years to turn it around. You aren't proving anything of value by degrading the PM when he's trying to turn things around.

Amazing episode - Elon Musk is just getting wilder as the days flow by - thanks @originstorypodcast.bsky.social - open.spotify.com/episode/1218...

Another fantastic release by @quietriotpod.bsky.social. Solid on the UK Economy, which we can all admit is in a bit of disaster at the moment - open.spotify.com/episode/3Jzu.... These guys really get it.

Found this on my travels - & it's not a bad one!

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

I went for a walk. That's all.
