Norway and the UK have taken fundamentally different approaches to North Sea oil and gas. Norway treats petroleum as a national asset that should generate wealth for generations. Britain has largely treated it as a privately operated industry that generates tax revenue.
The consequence is striking. Norway has built one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, while Britain has no equivalent North Sea investment fund.
Profits got to corporates and prices are set by the market.
@drchrisnewton@BeatrixBlackCat So, Kemi in PMQ's made a snide remark about who Burnham kept company with and insinuated that wasa judgement call. Yet, when we look at Kemi and her judgement calls related to criminals or those accused we have a comparison.
Kemi needs to be careful who she supports and cozies up to.
Joshua Bonehill-Paine a former neo-Nazi who previously served a prison sentence for the antisemitic harassment of former Labour MP Luciana Berger.
In August 2026, it emerged that he had been selected as a Conservative council candidate in Somerset. Badenoch publicly defended his selection, stating that the Conservative Party "believes in second chances" and that he had been rehabilitated.
Jack Ross (Under Investigation): In October 2026, Jack Ross, a former Tory election candidate who worked as a social media consultant and adviser in Badenoch's office, was suspended by the Conservative Party.
He is currently facing a police investigation over allegations that he attempted to arrange a contract killing, though he has not been convicted.
Ok lets take Kemi when she was a Conservative minister and her tack record for delivery.
Instead of delivering swift justice for wrongfully convicted subpostmasters, Kemi Badenoch turned the Post Office Horizon scandal into a toxic, narcissistic PR war.
As Business Secretary, she spent more energy publicly mudslinging with her former Chairman than fighting for the victims whose lives were destroyed.
A total lack of moral leadership. 🧵👇 #PostOfficeScandal #KemiBadenoch
Kemi Badenoch should be ashamed

BUT Badenoch publicly defended his selection, stating that the Conservative Party "believes in second chances" and that he had been rehabilitated.
Brand claimed he had rehabilitated as well - perhaps she needs to think about who she supports.

A word was invented to make bribery in politics sound legitimate. We call it "lobbying."
A corporation spending millions to secure the support of MPs who will then block bills or change votes or regulation is not, in UK law, corrupt. It is "civically engaged."
A firm handing a former Minister a £100k-a-year "advisory" role to secure government contracts they previously oversaw isn't a conflict of interest. It is "private sector expertise."
A foreign state and its proxies funneling money into Westminster think tanks or 'Friends' of Groups who rewrite our foreign policy or buy silence is not subversion. It is "strategic partnership."
An MP who takes thousands from private firms or corporate giants and votes in their favor is not bought. They are "fiscally responsible."
The genius of Westminster corruption isn't just the spin. It’s the total blackout.
In 2024–2025, £162.2 million was spent on UK lobbying. Number of official meeting notes published from those political meetings? Zero.
At least in a third-world autocracy, when a politician takes a brown envelope stuffed with cash, they know it's a shakedown. In Westminster, they log it on a spreadsheet and call it "public affairs."
@Ed_Miliband Over to you. Time to show you mean what you say, that sanctions are real, that action is real. Words when people are suffering and dying are not enough.

👏 HAMILTON: “YARDIMLARIN ENGELLENMEMESİ İÇİN İSRAİL’E BASKI YAPMALIYIZ.”
👀 Lewis Hamilton: “Bugün Mısır Kızılayı ile birlikteyim. Gazze’ye gönderilmek üzere hazırladıkları insani yardım kolilerini yüklüyorlar. Bugün, harika gönüllüleri eşliğinde Refah Sınır Kapısı’na gittiler.
Mısır genelinde 70.000’den fazla gönüllüleri var ve burada her gün 2.000’den fazla kişi, bu kolilerin mümkün olan en iyi şekilde hazırlanıp paketlenmesini sağlamak için gönüllü olarak çalışıyor. Yardımların gönderilmesi için her şey hazır.
Bu nedenle İsrail’e, Filistin tarafındaki sınır kapısını yeniden açması için gerçekten baskı yapmalıyız. Çünkü her gün yeterli sayıda yardım tırı geçiş yapamıyor.
Gazze ve Filistin’deki insanlar o kadar acil bir ihtiyaç içerisindeler ki, şu anda bu yardımlara duydukları ihtiyaç daha fazla olamaz. Bu yüzden gerçekten baskı kurmalı ve bu yardımların oraya ulaşmasını sağlamak için birlikte hareket etmeliyiz.
Burada çok büyük miktarda yardım bulunuyor. Üstelik bu merkez, Filistin’deki bireylerin ve ailelerin ihtiyaç duyduğu gıda, ilaç ve diğer temel malzemelerle dolu olan harika yardım merkezlerinden yalnızca biri.”
@Strongarms12@geoffbanksbet FACT check her statements, she spins the truth or blatantly lies and misleads the public to gain votes...loads and loads of examples
🔴GOVERNMENT RULES OUT #Epstein Inquiry
According to Sky News, No, 10 is not ‘actively considering’ a public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein and his UK sex trafficking, despite two justice ministers saying that it was on the cards.
Alex Davies-Jones claimed Burnham was “looking into it” with Jake Richards doubling down in August 2026.

🚨 IMPORTANTE
Exclusiva de Reuters muestra el verdadero móvil de la operación militar que llevó a la captura de Maduro
La investigación reveló que una semana antes de la operación militar del 3 de enero, el vicepresidente JD Vance abordó la futura venta del crudo venezolano con un operador de la firma Vitol y megadonante de su campaña, allanando el camino para que Vitol y Trafigura recibieran sin licitación el monopolio de comercialización petrolera que ya les ha generado cientos de millones de dólares.
Registros de vuelo ubican el avión oficial de JD Vance y el jet privado de John Addison (operador de Vitol) juntos el 27 de diciembre en Bozeman, Montana, rumbo al exclusivo Yellowstone Club.
Según una fuente enterada del encuentro, Vance preguntó qué tan rápido podrían vender el crudo venezolano si EEUE tomaba el control del suministro.
Aunque Addison negociaba gasolina en EEUU y carecía de experiencia técnica en contratos internacionales de crudo, había donado 300.000 dólares a Vance en 2022 y 7 millones de dólares a comités de Trump en 2024 (el mismo año en que Vitol pagó 50 millones en California por un caso de manipulación de precios donde Addison fue señalado).
Recomendado por Vance, Addison recibió el 5 de enero (dos días después de la operación) la llamada del secretario de Energía, Chris Wright.
La Casa Blanca omitió la licitación pública y el 9 de enero Vitol y Trafigura ya tenían las licencias.
Con más de 200 millones de barriles exportados en lo que va de 2026, expertos estiman que los operadores ganan entre 3 y 3,50 dólares por barril (un margen de 3,5 % a 4 %, superior al 1 %–3 % habitual de Vitol). Ambas firmas mantienen en secreto sus contratos con PDVSA, y Vitol confirmó tener además relación comercial con NABEP, la petrolera de Alejandro Betancourt
Este reporte se suma a la filtración del informe de KPMG publicada ayer por The New York Times, según la cual Vitol y Trafigura concentraron el 61 % de los 12.260 millones de dólares ingresados a la Cuenta de Custodia de Venezuela antes de que Washington transfiriera casi la totalidad de esos fondos de vuelta al Banco Central de Venezuela
Es decir:
Una semana antes del ataque militar, el gobierno de Trump ya estaba coordinando en un club privado de esquí cómo repartir la comercialización del petróleo venezolano a sus megadonantes de campaña sin licitación pública.

ספרו לי קצת על היהדות והאידיאולוגיה של האשפות שהלמו אתמול במוט ברזל בפניה של אשה בת 70(!) שהגיעה לעזור במסיק של קול רבני לזכויות אדם - ואחר כך קינחו בסדרת בעיטות כשהיא על הרצפה, שוברים לה שלוש צלעות וגורמים לחבלות קשות בפנים. היא עדיין מאושפזת. נשמות שחורות
Thames Water is about to be bought by the US.
The costs will be dumped on your bills with double digit % bill increases again.
Isn't that great?
You pay for everything whether it is Privatised or Nationalised.
At least if it is Nationalised the money stays in the UK
I've been reading the Epstein files.
What’s inside them is horror and evil beyond language.
Pedophilia.
Rape.
Cannibalism.
CSA.
Kidnapping.
Trafficking.
Children spoken about as food.
Code words like pizza.
Photographs of molds taken from real children’s body parts used as decorations.
The elite.
The parties.
The auctions.
Major corporations involved.
Businesses woven into everyday American life, including the company nearly every school uses for student photos.
This was protected.
Investigations obstructed.
Evidence buried or destroyed.
Sweetheart deals granted.
Victims silenced with threats, NDAs, settlements, and intimidation.
This was financed and laundered through shell companies and complex money trails.
It was international.
Multiple countries.
Multiple jurisdictions.
Not one island. Not one network.
Recruitment pipelines where children were groomed, coerced, and forced to recruit other children.
Abuse discussed casually.
Suffering treated like logistics.
Blackmail.
Documentation used as leverage.
Powerful people insulated by proximity to politics, royalty, and intelligence-adjacent circles.
Out of thousands of children referenced, named, or implied, only around thirty are accounted for.
The rest are missing.
Erased.
Unanswered.
People joking about what they’ve done.
Joking about what they plan to do next.
This is not conspiracy.
This is documentation.
I do not know how one could witness what happened on Epstein Island and not turn away. This is the kind of evil that makes hell seem embarrassed. No deity, no devil, no myth feels sufficient to hold it.
What is in these files is so grotesque, so deliberate, so organized, that every single party involved must be held accountable. Not some. Not a few. All of them.
Your politics do not matter here. Democrats and Republicans are named. Celebrities and CEOs are named. Corporations are named. Defending any of them over the safety of children is complicity. We must stand together, united beyond party, fame, or wealth, to end this evil and protect every child.
WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH!!!!
This is also your reminder, if you read them, to take breaks. Step away when your body tells you to. Drink water. Ground yourself. You are allowed to protect your nervous system while demanding justice. Reset is not complacency. It is survival.
WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH!!!
