Catherine and her cat from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat.

Let me explain how these crypto scams work.
They give themselves lots of coins for free, then they advertise so you buy in.
When it gets to a certain price, they sell, taking your money.
They can't lose, the easiest scam in the world.

Remember all these headlines describing a brief rise in government borrowing costs as being "market mayhem", followed by a week of demands for Rachel Reeves to quit?
Well one week later and it turns out UK gilts are now outperforming every other G7 country this year, aside from the US

RBC - a primary dealer of UK government bonds - says this morning it is betting on short-dated gilts.
"We do not share the angst around the UK market facing a second budget crisis, and in fact think that the BoE has the most leeway to cut more than priced by markets."

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

Why do experts and politicians always refer to “renewables” or “green energy” when these terms are hijacked by the climate change deniers? Just refer to these energy sources as “free energy” because that’s what they are! Once the infrastructure is built then the energy they produce is free!!!

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you.
