Peter Thiel's name repeatedly shows up in The Epstein files. Starmer's government keeps giving more and more NHS contracts to Peter Thiel's Palantir. Why?

Trump v BBC is a defining issue.
Support for Trump is drawn exclusively from the most loathsome people on both sides of the Atlantic.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

Amazing how often we say 'too many visitors' when what we mainly mean is 'too many cars'

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.
Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes
Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

You can’t afford a coal mine.

You can’t afford a gas turbine.

You can’t afford an oil rig.

Only fossil fuel states and billionaires can.

But you can afford a solar power station on your roof.

Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.

Tesla investing in xAI is in limbo due to many abstentions to the vote.

xAI's survival is more crucial to Musk than his $1TR bonus award. I removed the paywall from a 9/26 report on this given today's tepid response.

Musk may need to sell some TSLA to fund xAI.

Why Tesla is Being Pumped: xAI Needs a Bailout Like SolarCity Did
Musk is desperate to keep his AI startup alive, which is why the vote to allow Tesla to invest in xAI is urgent and more important than his $1 trillion pay package.
