Tax private jets more. Burnham should work with the EU to do this on a pan European level This is partly due to lifestyles. The world’s private jets, for example, release more CO2 in two seconds than most of the world’s people emit in an entire year www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today, Israel has detained an SNP MP (Lara Bird), and a Scottish Greens MSP (Kate Nevens) who were trying to enter Palestine. Lara and Kate were held and interrogated for roughly eight hours at the border after attempting to enter the West Bank through Jordan...............

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

These fucking people. Pro-lifers ranting on about doing God's work. Until God's work comes for them in the form of cancer. Then it's all 'I need medical care!' Seriously?! Fuck them!

Rising health care costs are weighing on Americans ahead of the midterms. For Cindy Banda, a Texas mother who voted for Trump three times, breast cancer bills reshaped her life and her politics.

The ex director of communications for David Cameron pushing the narrative that the welfare budget is out of control. Not true of course.

Jonathan Portes in July: "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"

"Legal migrant numbers are at a historic low and small boat crossings have halved, yet that didn’t stop anger at asylum seekers spilling on to the streets. "There is no level of migration low enough to satisfy some people. There is, however, a level of migration low enough to make us all poorer."

This is the point. Until AI is out of the hands of fascists and white supremacists, we should be keeping well clear.

Beware of finance industry lobbying. It hired PwC (the firm that delivers dud audits) to produce a report, claiming that UK banks face highest rates of tax. The report included taxes not borne by banks. Omitted countries that levy higher rates of taxes. Integrity never gets in the way of profits.

It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.
