🚨 Mark Carney just nailed it:
Countries that rushed into dodgy deals with the US under Trump got deals “not worth the paper they were written on.”
Sound familiar, Brexit Britain?
We ditched the stable EU single market for the fantasy 🦄 of brilliant US trade deals… and ended up with higher costs, bureaucracy, and now Trump tariffs.
Time to stop the tantrum and do a proper reset with our biggest trading partner.
🆘 How many more examples do we need?
Water. Rail. Energy. Now Royal Mail.
🔥 Privatisation unleashes greed not service.
“A national institution in meltdown,” declares @liambyrnemp
🟢 Renationalise it.
@SarahForRuncorn@Keir_Starmer When my phone was stolen I quickly went somewhere I could delete the data, then FindMy iPhone tracked it down to a precise address. When I got a replacement all the WhatsApp was still there. Why couldn’t McSweeney do that?
Absolute bombshell. James O'Brien exposes massive insider trading just before Trump announced a ceasefire. 8 newly created accounts placed massive bets on a US-Iran ceasefire with obvious insider knowledge. The corruption of this war is staggering.
Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
Yet more corruption exposed.
In 2024 98%, yes 98% of all serious water company pollution incidents got downgrade by the Environment Agency to minor.
Time to end the charade, to call an end to the farce. Time for public ownership.
Unpopular opinion.
PM Starmer is doing a reasonable job in the UK when one considers the basket case he inherited. People have quickly forgotten Johnson, Truss and the biggest mistake of all, Brexit.
@BBCWorldatOne interesting analysis of the boomer economy - but omitted the role of earnings. Back in the day unions were much stronger and if workers were better paid now this would surely help redress the balance.
Labour government so far: crash the economy, attack people on Benefits, slash green funding, give jobs to their mates, ministers resign over corruption and racist messages, anaemic and out touch PM. When they said they wanted to replace the Tories, no-one realised it would be like for like
