What the article headline conveniently omits is that the billionaire in question previously lived in Switzerland for many years - and that his business, by all accounts will remain open in the UK.
Almost like it’s… whisper it… no great loss.

The masks are doing their intended work: making ICE agents appear to many to be not just fascist goons but IRL boogeymen, larger-than-life, almost supernatural threats.

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UK’s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didn’t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companies… is that it?
Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry.
The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale.
Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs.

This is completely insane. Legal types, do get in touch with family if you can help.
Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

💥 Well how about that.
After years of Brexiteers saying we had to leave the EU to avoid being forced into a European army…
… it turns out that Brits are fine with the idea. With the UK explicitly included.
A plurality of Tory voters support it - and even a fair chunk of Reform.
How times change…

This Trump-Musk-DOGE arm twisting of government agencies, standing outside offices in a standoff to access confidential data, firing officials when they don't comply, economic threats to annex Canada. This is way more authoritarian than countries we usually associate that term with. Super alarming.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?
