Why everyone is worried about stocks right now! youtu.be/kg8RU3GDpsw?... We’ve seen it before — 1929, 1987, 2000, 2008, 2020. Markets rise, then fall off a cliff. But this time, the economic damage could be worse.

A really fascinating article - for anyone interested in how misinformation and politics are related. Spoiler alert! “Misinformation and radical-right populism must hence be understood as inextricable and synergistic—two expressions of the same political moment.”
Important research investigating politics and misinformation: used 32M tweets from politicians in 26 countries, spanning 6 years and several election periods. Radical-right populism was the STRONGEST determinant of those who spread misinformation.

The UK government told the PRB it suggests just a 2.8% pay increase for nursing next year.
The NHS PRB process is outdated. Alongside UNISON and Unite, we are calling for direct negotiations on NHS pay.

Bernie Sanders (if its not AI) has said E Musk has increased his wealth by 120billion so far this year! Tried to get my head round this, I've worked out that if I spent $1 every second for 24 hours a day every day of the year. It would take me 3000 years to get through it all.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Watch Francesca Albanese school Piers Morgan on why "Israel didn't have the right" to genocide Gaza
Piers Morgan pushed Francesca Albanese with his typically obnoxious and patronising ‘whataboutery’. But she refused to play his game.
