🚨 “A picture is emerging – one that shows how Reform UK has been funded and by whom. Each new detail raises more questions for Farage and the coterie around him.
This Guardian article is important because it steps back from individual revelations and asks a broader question: what does the overall picture look like when all the pieces are put together?
@JuhaKaistidmwv@Huopainen This! There’s always that chicken-or-egg loop and the factor that labor still drives value which no theory can erase. Marx got the necessity of work right even if the rest drifted. It’s the same truth that keeps markets adapting while command systems strain under their own weight
"Espanjan pääministeri ärähti rajatarkastuksien palauttamista vaativille Schengen-maille.
Pedro Sánchez sanoi olevansa huolissaan joidenkin eurooppalaisten hallitusten toimista"
Koskee meidän oikeistohallitusta myös. Minähän sanoin että mainehaitta..

@CorneliaDo32562@unblogd@UlrichSiegmund Did you miss when brand policing turned political?
Riding a classic Simson doesn’t hand over trademark rights, same overreach that once tried to scrub every historical name from public life.
Wirkungen von Duftmarketing wissenschaftlich zu untersuchen, ist sehr berechtigt. Titel von Siegmunds BA-Arbeit ist aber völlig verquer formuliert. Wer hat das so formuliert? Wie wurden methodisch die Wirkungen von Duft auf Wohlbefinden und Kaufverhalten untersucht?
Tatsächlich lügt nun auch die „#Welt“ über den Studienabschluss von Ulrich #Siegmund. Wieder einmal ist empirisch der Beweis erbracht, dass die Mainstream-Medien #Desinformation verbreiten, um der #AfD zu schaden. Bitte kein Wort mehr glauben! Es ist ein Wahnsinn, dass man diesen Mechanismus jetzt jeden Tag aufdecken kann.
Desinformation in der „Welt“:

Many unpaid carers lose Carer’s Allowance at pension age
They don’t get to retire either
While others enjoy retirement, many care until they’re physically unable to continue.
Unpaid carers don’t retire from caring
The system just retires its recognition of them

Jesus’ action in the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 14:13-21) teaches us that nothing is discarded when it is shared. Hoarding and waste, however, are two sides of the same evil: greed. So, in the face of an opulence that reeks of decay, we find the outstretched hands of those who have no nourishment, the burned homes of those who have no peace.
@passil65@leutelabernviel@StarCrush93 Don’t bother trying to claim your presence changes nothing. A break is meant for quiet, not company, same reason old-school tradesmen guarded their lunch hour like gold. People always promise they won’t interrupt, then proceed to do so.
I’d appreciate a politician coming in and saying “Look folks we’re all fucked at the moment.
But here’s what we’re going to do over the next five years to fix it…”
Details, costings, shared pain to get the country back on track.
No more cheap words, gestures and consultations - just data, facts and a clear plan.
@ClemensHoltzen1@Kristof_Poland Ever tried real purpose coupled up with the daily grind of raising them? A child’s arrival rewires priorities faster than any career peak, the same quiet transformation that once kept Western families strong before the birth-rate slide set in.
£324,233 the average amount Councils have to pay for every one of the more than 50,000 children in private care.
£80,000 the amount of profit they take per child which is never spent on anything.
This con is one of the reasons Council have no money.
N.C. Wyeth painted The Homecoming in 1945, just as World War II was coming to an end. It first appeared on the cover of Woman's Day magazine, symbolizing the return of millions of American servicemen after years of war. The young soldier stands at the entrance to what appears to be his childhood home, duffel bag at his feet and hat in his hand. Only one soul has rushed to greet him, the family dog.
At first glance, the painting feels warm and hopeful. The autumn countryside is peaceful and the farmhouse seems untouched. But the longer you look, the more the mood changes. The soldier does not run toward the house. He stands still, almost hesitant, as though he is gathering the courage to take the next step. His home is exactly as he left it, but he is not the same man who went off to war.
The most revealing detail is the dog. Animals have no understanding of trauma or the passing of time. The dog simply knows that the man it loves has returned. Its joyful sprint contrasts with the soldier's uncertainty. That single contrast captures a truth countless veterans have experienced. Coming home is often far more complicated than anyone imagines.
Perhaps that is why The Homecoming continues to resonate eighty years later. We all long for a place where we belong, yet life has a way of changing us before we get there. Home might remain the same, but we rarely do. Wyeth reminds us that while wars eventually end, the journey back to peace is often a much longer one.
