@GavinBarwell@sebastianborger If all the medical evidence had shown that white men were twice as likely to get prostate cancer this would have happened 10 years ago.
That's the real two tier politics.
Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.
“The country is becoming ungovernable...”
The Times's Matthew Syed says constant leadership speculation is making it harder for Prime Ministers to make tough choices.

There's an interesting bit in Louis Theroux's chat with Alan Carr on crisis management.
Carr said: "As soon as you become involved in the conversation, it's over for you."
And there is no finer example of that working in practice than with Labour/ Mandelson vs Farage/ £5mill
Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift
"As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what"
"We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne"
"We didn't receive another reply"
@owenjonesjourno 'People are just carrying on their everyday lives'. Lol - what are they supposed to do?
Ring up the White House? Start building survival shelters?
There's a deranged narcissist is at the wheel - I don't think people are the problem here.
This is absolutely insane:
By 2:10 PM ET today, the S&P 500, $SPY, $675 strike calls had fallen to a low of $0.02 per contract, effectively worthless.
Then, at 3:20 PM ET, President Trump said the Iran war is "very complete," sending the S&P 500 soaring.
By 3:30 PM ET, 10 minutes later, these same calls were trading at $4.95 per contract, up +24,650%.
In other words, $1,000 invested in these calls at 2:10 PM ET was worth $247,500 just 80 minutes later.
We are witnessing historic volatility.
CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"
Is there something vaguely... entitled, about a man who gets into his chauffeur driven car with pristine white leather seats after a day in police custardy... and reclines his seat?
