As a Brit, I’ll just say that Brexit was the single biggest self-own in our economic and political history. We were collectively conned by the evil version of Mr Toad (Farage), and the poshest malevolent clown to ever pratfall around 10 Downing Street (Johnson) and we’re paying for it every day.

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.
Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.

Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network.
BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.
