Meanwhile Spain carries on with socialist policies & looking after people & redistributing, and whaddya know, it’s economy soars and no-one in the Brit political class talks about it because omg maybe some second homes & wealth would get taxed, no, it’s very sad but we must make difficult choices…🤮
It’s not just that it’s morally indefensible for Labour to cut more disability support than Tories ever dreamed of.

It’s that we have been living in the fallout from the last round of austerity & they have learnt absolutely NOTHING. Making the poor poorer COSTS US MORE #r4today

Trump is expected to declare English the nation's official language. America is an Italian word. California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Florida are Spanish, and a bunch of other states have Indigenous names.

So I am publishing my talk for European Commission last week about #artandscience on substack in two parts, beginning this week with geopolitics. #technology is winning the battle for attention from #science. Why does this matter?

I am finding X unbearable. It is entirely fuelled by hate and hatred. I have tried to remain there to combat the misinformation, but I am literally at my end now.
