Politicians should look at the UK economy as a CEO would, says Lloyds Bank CEO From a bank that hasn't investigated HBOS frauds. No thank you. Companies enrich shareholders. Countries have entirely different purpose, governance, accountability. Must not be treated as corporations. archive.ph/lj45s

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

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.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

"After fighting Chavistas and their Russian, Iranian, and Cuban allies for so long, nobody in Venezuela’s historically pro-American democratic opposition ever expected a U.S. administration to stand in their way. But if it does, they are preparing to fight that obstacle too."
The Trump administration and the Venezuelan government have struck a deal to exploit Venezuela’s oil—but their partnership is good for the rich and no one else, @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu reports. theatln.tc/PANSlDZN

The final irony. Hundreds of articles ABOUT Jason Arday - fact-free, poor data analysis, often copying other people's work. A couple of articles BY Jason Arday - a few corrections, and still supported by academic publishers and peer review. Just tragic bias by our media
They hounded him to death, and now they pursue him beyond the grave Jason Arday Again Cleared of Plagiarism as His Attackers Launch an ‘Independent Inquiry’ bylinetimes.com/2026/10/21/j...

Wow. This is a fantastic ad.
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy www.euronews.com/2026/10/20/k...

Go see this film. And then vote for limitarianism.
Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

The Sovereign Grant to the King doesn’t count as taxable income. Payments by the state to Britons, such as the state pension, carer’s allowance, contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance, and contribution-based employment and support allowance are taxable. That's the law.

Sources identify Musk as the architect of Starshield restrictions that disrupted Ukraine’s defences during Russian attacks. Others traced the command to the White House. Musk points to Trump and the Pentagon; Trump denies either him or Musk are responsible, leaving Hegseth as a potential scapegoat.
Elon Musk reportedly proposed restrictions that crippled Ukraine’s Starshield drone defences during Russian attacks. Other sources traced the order to the White House. The deliberate slowdown raises questions about possible sabotage of Ukraine’s defences.
