@MajorGambini @jonburkeUK @grok Huh, I'm guessing this wasn't the answer you were looking for?? 🤣

@DanNeidle This is a pretty skewed framing. More accurate would be to frame it "If you had £14bn, would you move to Dubai to save £3bn?"

@Kira__Kovalyova @Nexxo00 @KawaiiSan188268 @Neccccy Oh you're active Air Force now? Your bio 'says' you're a pilot for commercial airline S7?

@mcaliente21 Weird post, given the sign says "pay more tax".

@SoNowUknow2 @KarmaUnc Also, you haven't deleted the post.

Beyond Bretton Woods and E3G are organising an #LCAW2025 roundtable on 'Reimagining the Global Financial System for Planetary Resilience'. Long-term thinking about deep structural reform to the international financial system. I can't post a link, but you can Google the title. ;-)

@TheNewsAgents @Stevebannon_sk @maitlis @jonsopel Quite disappointed to hear you refer to the Jan 6 congressional hearing and report as a "Democratic enquiry". You know perfectly well it was a cross-party enquiry.

Trump’s USAid cuts will have huge impact on global climate finance, data shows https://t.co/2aEbMlM1Af

We all know that we're living in difficult geopolitical, political and economic times.

That's still no excuse for having cut IDA in real terms. Indeed, exactly the opposite - difficult times call for brave measures.

The rich world is failing this challenge.

[E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism @e3g]

The World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) provides climate & development finance to the world’s poorest countries. But the recent 3-year replenishment of the fund has fallen short of what's needed.

Read on for why this matters & what needs to happen next👇🧵

[Global Citizen Impact @GlblCtznImpact]

🗞️ Today, we and @ONECampaign published this open letter in @SvD urging 🇸🇪’s Finance Minister @elisabethsvan to showcase Sweden’s global leadership and step up its pledge to @WBG_IDA’s #IDA21 campaign this year. Here's why it matters 🧵👇

@EconMitch @Josh_Gabbatiss @DrSimEvans Hi Ian. As Asger has pointed out here, and @joethw8s elsewhere, this is copy-paste from Copenhagen. So no change in definitional scope.

Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, authorities say... video geolocated by NBC News showed fans of Israeli soccer team Maccabi Tel Aviv singing “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win. We will f*** the Arabs,” and tearing down a Palestinian flag.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

@mcaliente21 @PaulNiland FFS. Found guilty by a jury of his peers for blatant violation of election finance laws. But it's "trumped up" charges... 🙃

[Franklin Steves 🇺🇦 @FranklinSteves]

@jamesrbuk What's the alternative? Dems lie and drive disinformation like Trump?

@DavidHenigUK "Soviet style command and control economy"?

Seriously?

@Otto_English Mate that's not just 'White People Are Awesome!' - it's also the utterly authentic @SuspendedSnail.

@JDVance My grandfather landed on the beaches of Normandy a few days after D-Day & fought his way across northern France and into Germany, picking up 2 bullets and a lifetime of night terrors. He became a successful businessman and a HUGE Reagan Republican, and hated Trump with a passion.

@michael_chessum I think it would help to get the message across if you ranked them in order, and added the other Scandis - Sweden, Norway - plus Finland (to which many Brits look up).
