To my mind Brian Tyler Cohen is a national treasure: clear/ compelling/analytic/powerful/courageous and also funny. We need his voice more than ever.

In today's post, he is angrier than I've ever seen him - and he's right to be angry.

Tories bankrupted the UK, blew £10bn on Covid Fraud, £40bn on an app & - more recently - £7bn on uncosted taxcuts trying to buy the G/E.

So now it's "Sorry there isn't any money" for a £10bn comp scheme vs a Tory pension policy.

But somehow this is Labour's fault 🤣

Kemi Badenoch has yet again chosen to be a paper tiger at PMQs. First question trying to poke at Labour's decision on WASPI women, but lacks sting because Starmer could fire back that he is maintaining the triple lock on pensions when Badenoch's shadow chancellor has said it's unsustainable.

Elon Musk and Nigel Farage are LAUGHING at working class people.

After YEARS claiming to fight against the global elites for the working classes...

Now Farage is using a global corporation's funding to deliver policies he ADMITS will make people poorer.

Was there headline news on this? Seems like huge news as all the bullshit over Hunter Biden and Burisma was invented.

We live in the disinformation age, ran by billionaires with very nefarious agendas.

CPTPP membership is going to be so “amazing” that Rishi Sunak’s government predicted it would grow the economy by a tiny 0.08% (it later emerged that even that may be an overestimate) and that was after 15 years of membership!

Contrast 4% loss of GDP due to Brexit

Bitcoin’s decentralized nature is the cornerstone of financial freedom. Reducing reliance on untrusted intermediaries empowers individuals with full control over their wealth. This is Bitcoin’s greatest strength.

Bitcoin’s price rose to more than $100,000 on Wednesday for the first time, signaling its now-undeniable status in the global economic system. The cryptocurrency now stands as arguably the most successful investment product of the last 20 years. nyti.ms/4ghioPt
