I don’t want to jinx anything but it’s great to see Zack Polanski surging ahead in the polls. He speaks with such compassion, honesty, and integrity that it’s no surprise he’s so popular.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

In Minnesota police set up a sting operation to catch child sex traffickers.
They caught 16 men. No immigrants. No trans people. All US Citizen Men.
One was an ICE fascist who said, "I'm ICE boys" when arrested, perhaps expecting to get special attention. He was arrested anyway.
So much winning.

My parents sent me to a private school - but I convinced them later to let me go to a state school because I objected to the private system.
And I still got into science at Cambridge.

The government will not achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite
Labour’s plan risks weakening protections for all of us. Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to. It’s a slippery slope to oblivion youtu.be/bl0Lm7v_T18?...

The UK isn’t a “soft touch” on asylum.
UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours
No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)
UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany)
Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.

UnitedHealth said it will stop offering Medicare Advantage plans in 16 U.S. counties in 2026, impacting 180,000 members, as the company balances higher costs with reimbursement pressure in the insurance program.
