Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate.
Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd:
-Give $12K to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60K
And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.
Add £100m private investment on top of:
Public investment:
£340m Grand Central
£370m UU Belfast
£700m maternity & children's hospitals in pipeline.
Vs
Foyle St bus station - outdoor toilet.
Magee - about £25m invested over 10 years.
Altnagelvin - can't get an A&E upgrade.
Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin

Kemi Badenoch decrying 'anti semitism' on the same day that she used footage of Catholics being slaughtered in Derry on Bloody Sunday and called for their killers to be protected.
Some stories hit you as a journalist.
Seeing Amy Doherty's mammy summon the courage to address a packed Guildhall Square this evening was one of them.
Hard to imagine the heartbreak they are going through.
It was clear support from the Derry public meant a lot to her.
HOW IS THIS NORMAL?
Trump on the girls’ school in Minab:
“The Tomahawk missile that destroyed it could have been anyone’s. A Tomahawk is very generic.”
Facts:
Tomahawk missiles are manufactured by RTX in Phoenix, Arizona.
The US sells them to exactly four countries: the UK, Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands.
None of them are at war with Iran.
The White House already confirmed behind closed doors to Congress that the US targeted the area.
CNN confirmed US responsibility.
165 girls aged 7-12 are dead.
And the President of the United States just told the American people a Tomahawk missile is “very generic.”
This is not a mistake. This is not confusion.
This is a lie. On camera. About dead children.
George Galloway:
“What would the reaction be if Russia had killed 165 Ukrainian schoolgirls?
Would that not be the biggest story in the world?
Would it not be remembered forever?
But when this happens under Western allies [in Iran], Western media scarcely mentions it.”
Hundreds of people are dead. Little girls are dead. Six Americans are dead. Others are risking their lives. Millions across the Middle East are terrified.
It's not a video game. It's not a meme. It's not another chance to troll the libs. It's fucking war.
They can't even get their story straight.
One day it was a nuclear threat.
Then it's long-range ballistic missiles.
Now it's, Israel was going to attack 'with or without' us, so we had to.
Yet, I bet these admissions will be largely omitted from mainstream news reports.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%.
Zero point three per cent.
The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%.
Thirty seven point seven per cent.
In a single statistic, there you have the difference between a war and a genocide.
🚨'Now you see it, now you don't.'
Invest NI was challenged over bringing zero new inward jobs to Derry.
It hit back citing one.
Now it turns out that one new job was quickly relocated to Omagh.
So it did amount to zero new inward jobs.
