President Trump, "Norway is immensely wealthy because of the North Sea, the same North Sea that you have"

Norway nationalised oil and gas, the UK privatised oil and gas

Noway used that wealth to create a gigantic sovereign wealth fund, the UK did not

UK collected less revenue per barrel compared to Norway, again, because of privitisation

UK used oil wealth for tax cuts, Norway used it to save and invest in their future

Norway’s strategy: high tax + state ownership + saving for future = turned oil into generational wealth

The UK’s strategy: lower tax + privatisation + spending now, which meant less long-term accumulation

The lesson from Norway? Not to privatise

@adamjoseph Cool story. So you bet 317 US dollars on Real Betis? Give up the Rainbet grift, it's shameless

During the pandemic, friends of Tory MPs and donors to the party created "businesses". They had assets of £0 and had been in existence for a matter of weeks before being given millions of taxpayer £ in scam contracts for PPE that they never provided. Nobody was ever prosecuted

‘Every individual’? Even this one? The 94-year-old Holocaust survivor and former Israeli diplomat and judge who advised the ICC and agreed there was a war crimes case against Netanyahu?

Why still no mainstream media coverage of what is unarguably newsworthy testimony before a parliamentary committee?

[Charles Lister @Charles_Lister]

Just now -- acclaimed British surgeon testifies to #UK Parliament, detailing how #IDF "quadcopters" would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in #Gaza & "pick-off" / "shoot" the injured, including children.

feel like I'm losing my mind over this Maccabi-Amsterdam story

all the media literacy in the world means nothing when the biggest news orgs are reporting a version of events that simply didn't happen

Labour's decision to raise tuition fees is a disgrace.

Government ministers might not be in Parliament today had they not benefited from free tuition. Now, they are lumping the next generation with even more student debt.

Young people deserve better. Abolish tuition fees now.

Laura Kuenssberg: “You’ve put taxes up on private jets - rightly or wrongly”

Glad to see someone fighting the corner of private jet users in a country with more food banks than McDonald’s restaurants

Never forget when 61-year-old Sir Bobby Charlton joined Man Utd players in training at the Camp Nou ahead of our big UCL clash with Barcelona in 1998.

He would've been 87 today 🙏🕊

John Major, "Brexit has made us weaker, poorer, it's not in the interests of our country"

"The world saw us as a member of the European Union. It was a megaphone to amplify our power in the world.. Instead we are isolated and outside"

"What has happened to the benefits of Brexit?"

"Brexit was sold to the nation as things that haven't happened and couldn't happen"

"There's a great deal of misapplication of reality.. lies"

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬
