It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

The 50 wealthiest families in the UK own more than 34 million people combined.
That level of inequality is totally unsustainable.
A wealth tax isn’t radical - it’s inevitable. And the Green Party will keep making the case.

NB: In 2008 Peter Mandelson - then EU Trade Commissioner - holidayed on the yacht of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a close ally of Putin.
Deripaska benefited from a cut in EU aluminium tariffs introduced by Mandelson.

Can anyone *imagine* what would have happened if it had become public, at the height of the financial crisis, that Mandelson was leaking to Wall Street, and advising bankers to threaten his own Government? To stop a tax on bankers' bonuses!
Would the Government have fallen?

I’m sure others have noticed this exchange between Michael Wolff and Epstein about exorbitant price Rybolovlev’ paid to Trump for his the Palm Beach Mansion and suspicious trades with MBS - but how many have twigged that Rybolovlev is part of the current Ukraine negotiating team?

Looking at the video footage so far I think its questionable whether he was armed at the moment he was killed.
Even presuming this is true, possessing a gun is completely legal if he had the appropriate permit. They're not even claiming he pulled it or brandished it, just that he had one. That's no reason to execute someone.
