He nails it.

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

"Tesla said it was recalling 376,000 of its electric vehicles in the U.S., due to a failure of the power steering assist feature that could make the vehicles harder to steer, particularly at low speeds, raising the risk of a crash. Tesla shares fell 3%."

This is really something

In 2023 I had the pleasure of naming Buzz the dogsforautism.org.uk pup ! Last week I found out he has graduated his training programme and is now supporting his partner , Katie . Top work Katie & Buzz !

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This is fascism.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

A reminder that the BBC can still do accurate, informative analysis when it wants to. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Jesse Eisenberg, who starred as Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg in 2010 film The Social Network, has told BBC News he no longer wants to think of himself "as someone associated with someone like that".

NatWest Bank finalises £450m bonus pot, 25% higher than last year. CEO remuneration expected to hit £6.6m. Their profiteering is our poverty. Govt tells worker wage rises are inflationary, but that doesn't apply to exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. It's class war.

British Virgin Islands accused of ‘shameful’ attempt to avoid financial crime crackdown. UK has responsibility for good governance, does little. UK Crown Dependencies and the City of London are global fiddle factories. 40% of the world's dirty money is laundered by them. Govts protect them.

Ladbrokes gambling ads shown to parents on app used as a baby monitor, Gambling companies circumvent bans and enrol more victims. Regulators do little as their job is now also to promote growth of the industry. The state-corporate nexus harms health and wealth.

Brexit Curse Efforts to keep potentially disease-ridden meat out of the UK undermined by post-Brexit border checks. Illegal meat sold on "most High Streets". Brexit has been a disaster. Must rejoin, boost economy, health, worker rights and stand-up to Trump.

The President can't unilaterally abolish USAID, which is mandated by Congress, 22 USC §6563, and is an "independent establishment," id citing 5 USC §104. USAID continues to exist as much as the Social Security Administration does. The President is violating the law and the Constitution.

🔴‘The A&E Crisis Shows How the NHS Is Getting Worse and the Government Has No Real Plans to Fix It’ Politicians are refusing to take meaningful action to resolve the perma-crisis in our health service, writes NHS Doctor, David Oliver bylinetimes.com/2025/02/03/t...

This is also true with the EU, too: the EU sells more goods to the US than it buys in return. But then the US sells the EU more in services – such as basically every tech product. And services are far more lucrative. The idea global trade is rigged against the US is madness.

This is awful. More than 500,000 in England waited at least two months for vital cancer care Experts say thousands more patients will die early unless NHS tackles delays, following figures from Radiotherapy UK www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

It’s comforting to have a guy who bankrupted casinos taking over the economy. I mean, that takes a special talent.

A mirror big enough to expose the hypocrisy, hate, and division being sown by those at the highest levels of our government.

As I get started on BSKY (is that what we're supposed to call it?), here's a typically upbeat article about the policy decisions which led to so many kids are dying in temporary accommodation - and what we could do about it open.substack.com/pub/peteapps...

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

On January 20 I stopped using X. I should have deactivated the account, but assumed it was safe. Unfortunately it has been hacked by crypto scammers. I'm now shut out of it and out of X, so I can't close it down. I've appealed, but it may take some time. In the meantime, what you're seeing isn't me.
