🚨 The Atlantic, July 2026: “How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi”

A devastating assessment: 18 years of stagnation, self-inflicted wounds (austerity + Brexit), crumbling NHS, housing crisis, failing infrastructure, political chaos and a country that has fallen far behind its peers.

“The British broke Britain.”

Austerity and Brexit were the biggest self-inflicted blows. Brexit alone shaved 6–8% off GDP per capita.

The nostalgia and denial are fading. Reality is sinking in.

Read this from the brave and brilliant Peter Kalmus:

'In 2006, though, I was certain that by 2020 humanity would be on the same page about climate change, and well on its way to solving it for good.

'How could I have been so incredibly wrong? I overestimated humanity. And I underestimated the percentage of people who are actual fascists, and the percentage of people who are so susceptible to fascist propaganda that they support the fascists...'

'This fascist regime loves fossil fuels. Brute power and fossil fuels go together. There’s nothing subtle about a tanker of oil, but boy can it make things explode and go vroom. And climate change itself, all the disasters, is a good excuse for declaring emergencies and eroding our civil rights.

'What kind of person wants science to go away? The lack of curiosity. The idiotic unpeeling from reality. The narcissism. The brute desire for control through violence.'

@Its_ereko Appalling, shameful USA

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🚨 The 2026 World Cup hasn't even kicked off, and the United States has already slaughtered the spirit of the game on the altar of geopolitical malice.

​Stripping ordinary Iranian families of their lawful 8% ticket quota—after they spent their life savings on non-refundable flights and hotels—is a grotesque, cruel violation of international trust. First, they deport the African Referee of the Year on a tarmac. Now, they ban a whole nation's supporters.

​This isn't a global tournament anymore. It’s a weaponized, corporate border-control exercise disguised as football. If you are too paranoid, too bitter, and too administratively incompetent to welcome the world, NEVER host a global tournament again. FIFA’s silence is absolute cowardice.

Scotland is literally the most plundered nation on earth.

The English colonial state extracts well over 100 billion pounds yearly from Scotland through its resources, taxes, trade interception, creative industries & economic control.

That is English colonialism not partnership.

1. The Holocaust was evil, as everyone knows
2. The Holocaust was NOT uniquely evil, as some claim
3. Throughout history there have been other comparable genocides, often carried out by Europeans against indigenous people
4. The genocide in Gaza is not the same as the Holocaust, obviously, but it is in the same moral category
5. The Nazis killed babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they were Jews. The Israelis kill babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they are Palestinian
6. Israel and its supporters weaponise and abuse the memory of the Holocaust, sometimes to close down argument and sometimes even to justify the genocide in Gaza

Hollywood actor Gwyneth Paltrow has become the face of a luxury real estate development in Israel, defying a global boycott movement against the country in response to its genocide in Gaza.

Paltrow drew fierce criticism on Wednesday after appearing in an ad for 51 Park, a 51-storey development in the coastal city of Herzliya, just north of Tel Aviv, where units reportedly sell for up to $10m (£7.4m).

The ad campaign was commissioned by luxury developer Aviv by Melisron and created by the Israeli agency Why Worry.

“Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust,” user Ounka wrote on X. “That's the level of tone-deaf we're witnessing.”

In the one-minute ad, filmed in New York, Paltrow wakes up in a swanky apartment and complains in a voice-over: “Who decided mornings should be so early? Even my coffee needs a coffee.”

She then goes jogging in Central Park and says, “Waking up for a morning run can be brutal, but it's a price I'm willing to pay. Because once I hit the park, pure energy takes over.”

Later, she says to camera: "There's a reason why the world's most iconic buildings are by a park," as she walks to a car and asks to be taken to 51 Park. When the driver asks if she means in New York, she replies: “No. Herzliya, Israel."
