What did Giles Coren do to lose his job? Cos there was that time he publicly threatened to stab someone and faced zero repercussions from it

So not only did Trump solicit campaign contributions off his ex-wife’s death, he’s getting a huge tax exemption by burying her on his golf course.
He really is the most horrible man in the world.

My monthly State Pension of £647, which I paid into for 50 years, has been credited to my account. How the hell am I supposed to pay a £500 electric bill in January out of that?🤷♂️

Corbyn was focused on getting into power when you and 171 other right-wing Labour MPs were focused on sabotaging Corbyn.
Corbyn was focused on getting into power when you were protesting for a #PeoplesVote that cost Labour 52 Leave-voting seats.
You're now focused on lying. https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1553470242331967492

It's grimly ironic how the US told us it was invading Afghanistan to save women and girls... and now it's starving them by freezing $7,000,000,000 of the country's assets.

#OtD 30 Jul 1766 silver miners in Real Del Monte, Mexico, went on strike against a 25% pay cut in the first recorded strike against an employer in North American history. The employers finally caved in September. This is a history of the strike: https://libcom.org/history/1766-the-real-del-monte-miners-strike

Nationalise fucking everything, at this point. Energy, transport, water, supermarkets, ALL healthcare. Regulate it, make it affordable to all, bring public services back into public ownership, because after all, it is the public who pays for it. It every sense of the word.

I don’t hate the rich, but I do hate injustice, greed, racketeering, abuse, exploitation, narcissism, self interest, and those who fertilise their green shoots of economic recovery with the decomposing bodies of the dead, coldly murdered by a culture of capitalist indifference.

Dear @ciaraCnugent, @TIME, 3-4 billion non-contributing #bullshitjobs are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Causing #climatechange, pandemics and "inflation". Please address root causes.

If they don't keep telling us that Ukraine can win, it makes it harder for them to keep stealing our money
... this is not a quirky startup with a niche audience, but unregulated and lethal financial software that functions only to take money from retail investors and send it upwards. Every time the media has humored these concepts as cute, or early, or acted as if the scams are “rare” and the majority of the industry operates in good faith, they have been complicit in creating meaningful financial harm to millions of people.

@LucyGoBag I also enjoy the whole "no British PM has ever had to deal with this" and all the cries of "unprecedented!" as if Lloyd George wasn't PM 1916-22, dealing with (checks notes) a world war and a pandemic.
They mean no Conservative PM.
RT @petercoffin
The criticism isn't "Soros is Jewish." I'm sure some incorrectly focus on that, but the criticism here is "Soros, an individual, not a group of people, spends heaps of money (and has since the cold war) to lie about communism. He's the most prolific individual in that activity." https://twitter.com/blimp_juice/status/1552660327325728770
RT @jasonhickel
The association of capitalism with democracy and political liberty begins to seem a bit selective when you consider the sheer number of repressive right-wing dictatorships that the core capitalist states have installed and supported over the past century or so.
RT @john_donoghue
@Femi_Sorry @DootDootDoot29 @Labour4PR The Labour right wants us to believe the only choice is between Tories or fractionally-but not-meaningfully-better-than-Tories.
Maybe at the next election that will be true, but if we don't reject that choice we'll never get to anything better. That's what the Right taught us.

The existence of this headline is about the best proof I've seen that "the economy" usually just means "rich people's bank balances".
