In Nov 2024, Keir Starmer announced a working partnership with US asset manager Blackrock, who own $11 trillion in assets.
Their endgame?
To turn green spaces into 'natures assets'. Your local park could become a tokenised asset.
Access may become conditional on fees or corporate permission.

Bill Clinton was the most powerful man in the world, and Monica Lewinsky was an intern and his subordinate, and in any other workplace that would be called sexual harassment, and if you don't take power dynamics into account when you talk about things like this, you don't actually understand consent

When I studied abroad in South Africa, the cafeteria had a sign on the door that said "Keep closed on account of monkeys." We all laughed about it and then one day someone didn't close it and it became MONKEY CHAOS while we all tried desperately to cling to our chips and sarmies.
Goodnight, and remember

You are literally a rentier. You collect money that people have earned in the productive economy to pay off your loan on your appreciating asset. That might as well be the dictionary definition of parasitism.

Hi Fran it's absolutely fair to brand all landlords as parasites. As a landlord you are paid money you have not worked for, in fact that your tenants have worked for, solely because you happen to own an asset. At the end of the tenancy your tenants have nothing and you have a paid off asset

A landlord on the Today programme just described landlords as “a race of people who are being targeted”. Parasites playing as victims.

On this day, 45 years ago, #Visage released their debut album "Visage" including their breakout hit "Fade To Grey".
Dan LeRoy for AllMusic wrote "this is the music that best represents the short-lived but always underrated #newromantic movement", calling it "a consistently fine creation".

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.
Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

It's note worthy that the Greens aren't just winning. We're taking seats from everyone and we're coming from fourth or fifth place to first, to do it.
But it takes a lot of work from us regular folks! So help us out

People have tried to say that the Green surge is just on social media.
Or in a bubble that's just about polls and just about new members.
Yet up and down the country - Greens are also winning elections.
Huge congratulations to the Canterbury Greens! 💚🎉
