DO NOT forget that Starmer “recognised a Palestinian state” while Hostages were still being raped in tunnels in Gaza and with Hamas still in power
He rewarded terrorism.
You’re 10x more likely to die than to be fired from a UK government department
UK government departments fire people for poor performance at 1/600th the rate of private companies.
For every person they fired for being incompetent, there are 599 incompetent people who didn’t get fired.
That adds up. Imagine if a business behaved this way!
We need government to be meritocratic, competence hierarchies that reward performance and reject inefficiency.
Until this happens it’s hard to trust government with more money.
@IndexAndForget@2147mill It will go back to par eventually and buyers at these levels will lock in a yield above the 11.5% assuming strategy pays the dividend which I think they will
This national scandal in Ireland - 83% of alumina exports from Ireland (200k tonnes) goes to Russia’s war - is a story not seen on @SkyNews
One of Sky’s lead stories instead is Superdrug removing a single line of products because an ingredient in it might be from the West Bank.
Hi Zack, I'm a British-born Israeli who was stabbed 18 times by a Palestinian terrorist. Another chopped up my friend in front of my eyes. One got out in the hostage deal. They were paid a salary for years by the UK gov.
Could you tweet: "all of this is a horrific crime. He should be held to account."
Thanks
The resounding message from the UK pensions industry this week is that we need to save more money to have any hope of enjoying a comfortable retirement.
So it’s a bit odd that forthcoming government changes are set to make that harder. https://t.co/nI1lbKgVWG
As a little dessert to this soup: Candace also claimed that Charlie Kirk was a “time traveler” from “X-Men school”, and she did an eight-hour (!) podcast on Brigitte Macron’s gender, a pathetic attempt to help Russia undermine Emmanuel Macron’s presidency.
No one cared, though.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce an American conspiracy theorist, podcaster & antisemite, Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO). She’s best known for spreading conspiracy theories, attacking Ukraine, promoting pro-Kremlin BS, and becoming a favorite of Russian state media.

Do not be fooled by Candace Owens and her shiny propaganda tour of Russia.
The only reason she can walk around safely is because she is acting as a state propagandist.
In reality, Russia is an incredibly dangerous and bad place for her.
The Kremlin is giving Owens a massive platform because she tells them exactly what they want to hear. She is a propagandist for the Russian state. What she is hiding from her followers is that Russia is an intensely and increasingly authoritarian, sexist, and racist society.
In their rigid social hierarchy, an ordinary Black woman would possess zero rights and find herself at the very bottom of the ladder. Domestic violence is normal and legally tolerated in Russia. She would also face daily racism. She loves to claim that Russia is safe, yet the country has a murder rate higher than the United States, and significantly higher than Europe. It is also impossible to trust the authorities, who can arbitrarily arrest you as a foreigner at any moment.
Instead of telling this truth, she is pushing the false narrative that Russia is a shining beacon of Christian conservative values. It is a total fabrication. Russia has staggering rates of societal violence, domestic abuse, divorce, abortion, and state corruption. Russia is also committing genocide in Ukraine. Not very Christian.
She is operating as a direct tool of Russian state media, betraying her own audience with dangerous lies. The freedom she claims to experience is a total illusion, manufactured by a regime that locks up its own citizens for holding up blank pieces of paper. She is a fraud and a traitor selling a fake utopia. She belongs in jail for betraying the US on behalf of Russia
I’ve been investigating the russian refinery for days now and the story gets darker and darker. The shipments are sent to Siberia, smelted, and sold to the russian company ‘ASK’. This company distributes aluminium directly to Russia’s missile & drone manufacturers.
