@RichardJMurphy Starmer is the WEF's middle management. He was never expected the slightest idea. He's just there to follow orders from the boardroom

We are facing a major economic crisis where the biggest problem of all is that the people we have in charge of this country have not the slightest idea how it really works or, as a consequence, how to manage the threats that we are all going to face
Richard Murphy@RichardJMurphy
The war we are facing in the Middle East is illegal and unnecessary and is being pursued by people guilty of war crimes, and maybe other crimes as well. That, though does not mean there are no consequences. There are, and none of them are good news. A thread…….

🚨 THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD
Global bond yields are surging too fast now
And historically, when yields move like this
It means something in the system is already broke

@HeatherJeeves There's no one who can and isn't using that to make money and power for themselves by holding on the files and not releasing them.

Is there nobody in the world that can release the non redacted Epstein files? Would put an end to this nightmare.

It's not left versus right. It's the 99% versus the Epstein class.

So… In Terminator 2, SKYNET is a super AI that took over control of nuclear weapons and launched them to obliterate mankind. ⚠️Today—the U.S. government wants to digitize its arsenal of Minutemen nuclear weapons ICBMs to allow AI wireless control. Stupid?

Absolute bombshell. FBI files prove Epstein top recruiter Jean Luc Brunel offered to flip and expose the entire trafficking ring for immunity. The DOJ completely ignored him to protect the elites until he was found dead in a prison.

“We are on the precipice.”
An important perspective to consider whether you agree or not.
If you get caught out, at least make it because you watched the warnings and ignored them, not because you were unaware of them.

@moving_charlie Fred's 18 years are here again. And eerily we're creeping towards a certain centenary in 2029 😬
I think TSHTF this year, but the depth and length of this depression may mirror and run past '29, making a potential 100 year grand cycle

What stage of feudalism is this?

This will make you happier than the latest iPhone, flash clothes, a fancy job, or a Lamborghini. You don't need more money than it takes to get buy, or permission to 'become', if you find an art to practice

“Practice any art… no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.” - McKellen reciting Vonnegut

Students at a Government Polytechnic in India have created a fire extinguisher that uses low-frequency sound waves to push oxygen away and extinguish fires, instead of using water or foam.

100% of the blame for this is lies with Labour. They promised to end Leasehold, then betrayed voters by breaking that promise. I hope those Freehold lobby bribes were worth losing elections over

@PJTheEconomist It’s the problems of Grenfell, ground rent, and extractive service charges. Puts people off buying flats. Flats are now hard to sell, which puts people off buying them even more. It’s a death spiral.

Paul, surely you have been aware of the collapse in leasehold and shared ownership in London? Flats were always an accelerator for social mobility as a first step. But freeholders got greedy and you would do well to consider that.
Paul Johnson@PJTheEconomist
What is happening to house building in London is a national disgrace and a huge economic own goal. Worse, it stymies social mobility, locking young people from poorer families and from other parts of the UK out of the London labour market.
English
@AlanJi73069669 I hope so!
But I fear Starmer is crashing the market on purpose so that Fink, Lloyds et al can swoop in and bulk buy them at bargain price
If so, it'll be a profit gouging exercise with high rents
But it'd be good if the state were to do that and use them as social housing
English
People won't buy flats as any option, long or short, bc it's impossible to pay the service charges and impossible to sell.
I'd buy a flat in London for family and work reasons, but can't bc of leasehold. Instead it'll be far away where I can afford a freehold
London brain drain

I wanted to stay in central London when moving from my first flat last year. I couldn’t because almost all of the flats available were leasehold & no matter how lovely a flat was, how desirable the area, how convenient it would have been to get to work, I would not do leasehold again. Until leasehold is ended, entirely, people will never view flats as a long term option. That is the reality.
