Bitcoin Erases Year’s Gain as Crypto Bear Market Deepens
Just a little more than a month after reaching an all-time high, Bitcoin has erased the more than 30% gain registered since the start of the year as the exuberance over the pro-crypto stance of the Trump administration fades.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

‘The Rest is Politics’ podcast did a poll in Glasgow. Probably a reasonably broad political spectrum in the room, mostly in agreement that we are witnessing the birth of a fascist USA.

This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes.
Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”.
Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

💼 Business investment is down 12–18% since #Brexit.
Firms froze or cancelled projects for years amid prolonged uncertainty.
That’s a massive drag on future growth.

Everyone in this picture is a card-carrying member of the TRUMP GOP 4TH REICH PARTY. Making life easier for Americans is the farthest thing from their minds. Fattening their wallets by supporting Pedophile Rapist Trump is all they care about.

Why all the talk about leadership challenges misses the point that the biggest problem facing this Government is not just a lack of leadership but a lack of clear ideas about what a Labour Government is actually for
Until that changes, the question of who sits in No 10 will remain a hollow one.
