Mehdi Hassan: "Which country in the Middle East has nuclear weapons? It's not Iran, it's Israel... Which country in the Middle East attacked six countries last year? It wasn't Iran, it was Israel." The problem is Israel, not Iran

Former interim President of Israel Avrum Burg admits the truth. Trump's stupidity has resulted in Iran being the winner and Israel and the US the losers. It has also boosted China beyond what most people thought was possible. The damage Trump has done to the US is immeasurable.

Bola Tinubu is our last hope. He’s the last hope of your unborn children. We must do all we can to re-elect him.

Former US Congressman Harold Ford Jr. points out a stunning contradiction on Fox News. He confirms the Trump administration is desperately crawling back to an Iran nuclear deal that looks exactly like the one Obama negotiated. Trump started a disastrous war for nothing.

The destroyed Iranian airforce has risen from the grave to escort Pakistani officials with an F-4 Phantom and MiG-29s. It's a miracle!

Hey Republicans; He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing. He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing. He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing. He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing. He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing. His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing. He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing. He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing. You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them. And it’s only been a year. Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember? Not to him. To the Constitution. It’s time to do your fucking jobs!

The UK 🇬🇧 government under the conservative Party and under Boris Johnson opened the door during COVID. They needed workers. The NHS needed staff. Care homes were collapsing. So they went abroad. They told people: “Come. Work. Contribute. Pay taxes. In 5 years, you’ll get ILR. In 6 years, you can become British.” People believed them. They left families. Sold properties. Started life from scratch. Now? Same system. Same people. Suddenly, migrants are a “£10B burden.” This is not policy. This is goalpost shifting. From a legal migrant perspective, this is the reality: You followed the law. You paid your dues. You worked nights, weekends, holidays. You filled gaps no one else would. But when it’s time for the system to honour its end? The rules start changing. The tone becomes hostile. The narrative becomes political. You can’t invite people in, build your system on their labour, then rewrite the contract midway. That’s not governance. That’s exploitation with better PR. And the most dangerous part? They’ll still ask: “Why don’t migrants integrate?” “Why don’t they commit?” Because stability requires trust. And trust is broken every time the rules shift after the game has started.

This one will require a stiff drink. In the early 1990s, the government came up with a clever idea. Instead of borrowing money cheaply to build hospitals, schools, and roads, it would get the private sector to build them and then pay the private sector back over 25 to 30 years. The Private Finance Initiative. PFI. The attraction was obvious. You got a shiny new hospital today. The bill didn't show up on the government's books. The cost was deferred into the future. Politicians got ribbon-cutting ceremonies without the awkward conversation about borrowing. It was, in effect, the nation's credit card. Buy now, pay later. Except the interest rate was extraordinary. The total capital value of everything built under PFI was around £50 billion. As of March 2024, there were 665 PFI contracts still running across the UK, with roughly £136 billion in remaining payments stretching out to the early 2050s. These are payments public bodies are contractually locked into. Hospitals, schools, councils, government departments. Paying for buildings that in many cases were constructed twenty or thirty years ago. And the terms are extraordinary. PFI contracts were structured so the private sector would not just build the facility but manage its services. Cleaning. Maintenance. Catering. Portering. These services are bundled into long-term contracts with built-in inflation increases that the public sector cannot renegotiate, cannot exit without paying massive penalties, and often cannot even fully scrutinise because of commercial confidentiality clauses. In one case raised in Parliament, a hospital was charged £333 to change a lightbulb. That isn't an urban myth. It was cited in Hansard. The NHS has been hit hardest. According to parliamentary analysis, the capital cost of NHS PFI projects was around £13 billion. The total repayments are estimated at around £80 billion. And the peak of NHS PFI annual repayments isn't even here yet. It arrives in 2029. The bills are still going up. In 2020-21, NHS trusts paid £457 million purely in interest charges on PFI contracts. Not services. Not maintenance. Interest. In the last five years, NHS trusts have handed over more than £1.8 billion in PFI interest alone. We Own It calculates that money would have covered the starting salaries of over 50,000 new doctors. One NHS trust, Essex Partnership, has reportedly paid back 27 times what was originally borrowed. Some hospitals are spending more on PFI repayments than on medicines for patients. And remember, these repayments come out of the same NHS budget that's supposed to fund patient care, staff, and equipment. Scotland got it just as badly. Audit Scotland reported that Scottish taxpayers will pay a cumulative £40 billion for PFI assets worth just £9 billion. North Ayrshire Council will have paid £440 million by 2038 for four schools that cost £83 million to build. Now here's what makes this worse. Many of these contracts are starting to expire. The buildings are being handed back to the public sector. And the NAO has warned of significant risks around the handback process, including cases where public bodies were dissatisfied with the condition of assets being returned to them. Decades of payments. And some of these buildings may come back needing significant further investment. So what actually happened? The government could have borrowed money at significantly lower rates to build these hospitals and schools itself. Sovereign borrowing has always been cheaper than private finance. Instead, it paid the private sector to borrow at a premium and passed the inflated cost on to the taxpayer. The private sector took the profit. The taxpayer took the risk. The buildings are now ageing. The debts are still being paid. And the services that were supposed to benefit are being squeezed partly because so much of their budget is locked into contractual obligations they cannot escape. PFI wasn't investment. It was an accounting trick. A way for governments to build things without the borrowing showing up in the national debt figures. It made politicians look fiscally responsible while loading future generations with obligations they had no say in and no ability to renegotiate. Both parties did this. The Conservatives created PFI in 1992. Labour massively expanded it after 1997. More than 700 projects were signed. The coalition eventually wound it down. The current government scrapped the latest version. But the contracts remain. The payments continue. And the damage is already done. This is what it looks like when a country chooses to buy its infrastructure on hire purchase instead of investing properly. You lock in above-market rates for decades. You lose control of the assets. You tie the hands of future governments. And when the bill keeps coming due, you're told there's no money for doctors, teachers, or social care. There was always money. It just went somewhere else.

1. Bold Economic Reforms like, Fuel subsidy removal, Foreign Exchange Unification, Tax and fiscal Reforms, etc 2. Infrastructural Development, like the different roads and facilities you can see for yourself, Coastal Highway, Sokoto Badagry Super Highway etc. 3. Social Investment and Youth empowerment initiatives like, Student loan schemes (NELFUND), Consumer Credit Corporations etc 4. States and local governments funding, which is visible for you to see and every state and local government which now have their autonomy (thanks to Tinubu) could take care of and provide good governance to the grassroots (which most states has failed to do but that blame somehow still goes to Tinubu because of ignorance). 5. Educational policies: how many strike have you witnessed since he became president? And how long was it? Unlike that incessant and prolonged strike, which kept most of us in school longer than necessary. I can go on and on……. No of those people you are rooting for can provide that and that is evident in the their track records while in government, that we are all familiar with.

You want to eat amala with goat meat. You saw mamaput opposite your street, you did not go there. You saw Amala republic restaurant at ikotun, you did not go there. You saw Amala Nation restaurant in oshodi, you did not go there. You now walked into Lagos Continental Hotel and order for "Yoruba Heritage Yam Purée with Velvet Jute Mallow & Slow-Braised Goat". Now you're complaining that your amala is 250k. Madam, enjoy your yam puree ooo.
