The World's Largest Asset Managers

NHS PAYS 574 BOSSES MORE THAN IT PAYS THE PRIME MINISTER

The TaxPayers' Alliance @the_tpa published its NHS Rich List today.

574 senior @NHS managers earned more last year than Prime Minister salary entitlement of £172,153.

Up 12 percent in a single year. Somewhere a boardroom decided the real crisis facing the NHS was underpaid executives.

The number of managers clearing £300,000 or more more than doubled. Up 134 percent to 292 people.

Meanwhile 1,758 senior managers took home £100,000 or more in total pay.

Top of the pile is Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals chief executive J Mackey on a £377,500 salary. His trust ranks 41st out of 140 in England for A&E waiting times. Not top of the class. Comfortably top of the payroll.

While that spreadsheet filled up, 6.16 million patients sat on NHS waiting lists across England. 105,000 have been waiting more than a year. None of them got a bonus for their patience.

Shadow Health Secretary Stuart Andrew @StuartAndrew says paying managers big money while patients get poor care helps nobody but the managers. Fair point from a party that spent 14 years building the same system.

New Health Secretary @YvetteCooperMP inherits this chart days into the job. She promised urgent action on maternity services and social care.

She might start by asking who signs off these pay packets.

Patients wait. Managers collect.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Residents of Abuja, the nation's capital, no longer have access to a steady supply of running water.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

John Healey? No, I didn’t see that one coming. Nor do I see it as good news. He is far too conventional to take on the Treasury and all its faults when managing the economy. If Burnham meant to bring about change, this was not the appointment we needed.

🏚️ Renting in Britain is broken. But there’s a straightforward, low-cost solution.
Well-designed rent controls would protect renters from increasingly unaffordable housing costs, without costing the government billions or undermining housing supply.

Why does inflation hit the middle class hard while the ultra-rich get richer?

Richard Cantillon was an Irish-French banker in the early 1700s. He watched the French government flood the economy with paper money to pay off royal debts. 

Cantillon noticed something profound: the people closest to the King (the aristocracy and big merchants) got the new paper money first, before prices went up. 

They spent it while it still had high purchasing power. By the time that money filtered down to the working class, prices had already skyrocketed, leaving the poor with less buying power. 

Cantillon shorted the system, made a fortune, and laid the groundwork for Austrian economic theory.

Remember: Inflation is a wealth transfer mechanism. New money printing always enriches the issuers and early receivers at the direct expense of everyone else.

📣📣SEC WRITES OFF 10 BILLION IN UNCOLLECTED FINES

It's all a show.
When the SEC fines these crimes, they only collect a fraction of the penalties.

The SEC wrote off 10 BILLION in uncollected fines.

Why would the criminals stop their counterfeiting business plan when there is zero punishment 🤦‍♀️

📣📣WHY DID FINRA U3 HALT MMTLP

Racketeering, just look at the board of directors of FINRA.
That will answer many questions.

FINRA SRO Self Regulatory agency overseen by the SEC.
Now you know why the SEC won't take the meeting with Next Bridge Hydrocarbon.

Where do the "FINES" go❓️
They go into FINRA's general fund to pay HIGH PAYING SALARIES 🤔

THAT FUND HAS 2 BILLION

ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATE ‼️

The whole world has to isolate this rogue Apartheid genocidal maniac, serial killing, pathologically lying state, isolate it & shame anyone who goes there.

Israel is exposed, Zionism is on its last leg & only exists on the weight of its own collapsed propaganda.

If you believe someone who is seeking re-election will wake up 6 months before the election and increase WAEC fee by almost 100%, then you clearly still don't understand what’s going on.

These reforms are not initiated by those in Abuja. Tinubu and his entire cabinet are puppets installed in Abuja to carry out these specific instructions, and they can say no because it was the pledge to carry out these instructions to the letter that qualified him to be favourite of the actual powers that control Nigeria.

So, for this to be coming months before the general election, it means-

1. You clearly don't matter.

2. Your elections don't matter.

Don’t forget this part.

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

Dear Nigerians, your country as you knNow it is gone.

An ex-minister from a country I can't name in this caption is boldly on Nigeria’s national TV discussing Nigeria’s national security.

This also proves my point the media is the biggest weapon fashioned against any meaningful movement in Africa.

[Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria @DeleFarotimi]

The systemic intention is to impoverish the people, once you understand this foundational principle, everything will begin to make sense, in spite of the manifest insanity of it all..

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

One day you wake up and realize...

Capitalism always wants housing to be unaffordable.
It always wants Healthcare to be unaffordable.
It always wants water to be limited.
It wants to charge you as much as possible for as little as possible.

It doesn't want to make life better.

Just make the richest even richer.
