Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

A recent Times poll of young people found that 48% felt Britain is a racist country. To deny we have a problem with racism would be madness. Less hate. More hope 💚

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

2016: Nigel Farage, "The worse case scenario economically of Brexit is better than where we are today" 2025: Donald Trump, "Ukraine should have never started the war with Russia" The lies of Brexit weakened the UK and the EU, and the lies of Trump have weakened Europe and the US

As a matter of national security Brexit is an anti-luxury we really cannot afford. For those who are saying we shan’t rejoin for decades or “not in my lifetime” I suggest a very urgent rethink shake up is needed.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This target was met by having no junior doctor strikes, and by staff working overtime. This isn't sustainable without NHS pay restoration, and a focus on recruitment and retention. This shows that investing in NHS, not the private sector, is the solution. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
