Parnas: How much money was funneled through these banks to Epstein?

Wyden: I think it’s certainly well over a billion dollars.

One of the things we pointed out yesterday is that Deutsche Bank failed to properly report to the Treasury Department more than $250 million in suspicious transactions

Better idea, Starmer.

How about we get the fuck off Twitter, and look at regulating hate-speech, propaganda-peddaling 'bots, billionare influence, misinformation, manipulative AI content, relentless spam-advertising, the list goes ever on.

Let's have Social Media back to what it used to be.

A reminder that Brazil banned Twitter for failing to stop the spreading of disinformation. There is nothing stopping the British government from doing the same.

The UK's water systems are crumbling.

Thousands have been left without water in Kent. Our rivers are polluted. Our bills keep rising.

This experiment of privatisation has failed.

Public Ownership now.

🔴 Keir Starmer promised to crackdown on "Slapps" - abusive libel cases to silence journalists and critics

Then Labour quietly dropped it

Just what we don't need. Already, our rivers are overloaded with both human and livestock waste, leading in many cases to #rivercide. Now the government, responding as always to lobbyists, wants to make it worse. Then it wonders why it loses public support. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Recap:

Hour 1: We hit them like they’ve never been hit before.

Day 1: We already won this war. It was easy. Yay us.

Day 5: We don’t need any help. Don’t bother showing up after the war is over. Losers.

Day 13: Why isn’t the world helping us? There will be be consequences.

Donor suspended from Tories pays £50,000 for dinner with Kemi Badenoch.

That is 2+ years of minimum wage.

Monies at this scale are paid to buy influence and favours.

Criminalizing purchase/sale of political parties and legislators is a necessary step for ending political corruption.

People have to do jail time. Powerful people, who thought they were untouchable. They have to be arrested, tried, stripped of assets relating to their crimes, and sent to jail.

Because if it doesn't happen, it will prove to voters that democracy is a sham.

And then we're seriously fucked.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.

But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.

Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.
