Just when you thought it was impossible for American corporate media to fail any harder than it already has for a decade now, it went and called a peace deal worthy of celebration something that was neither a peace deal nor even actually a deal nor really anything that meant anything lasting at all

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Holding govts to ransom.

Goldman Sachs warns Rachel Reeves against tax rises on banks.

Banks happy to be bailed out, take QE, mis-sell products, not to be prosecuted for frauds, hike charges, pay lousy rates on savings.

Need windfall taxes. Raise top rate of income tax.
Goldman chief delivers warning to Reeves over bank tax hikes

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...
In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a
"delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

A very 20th Century solution.

Instead it could be close to through traffic. There is no reason to have traffic along the river when there are spokes from the edge inwards. This is what 21st Century cities do.

Overhead railway anyone...

“An essential condition today for entry into the upper echelons of Conservative party politics is being willing to at least pretend that you think taking Britain out of the EU was a good idea. This is a never-ending lobotomy for the Tories”

Brexit will always ruin you in the end.

The party can’t keep expecting successful people to pretend that leaving the EU was a good idea

“These findings follow previous research which concluded that the more people learn about how AI works, the less they trust it. The opposite was also true — AI’s biggest fanboys tended to be those who understood the least about the tech.”
The More Scientists Work With AI, the Less They Trust It
A preliminary report shows that researchers' confidence in AI software dropped off a cliff over the last year.

Right to buy was exerted by the not so wealthy - the wealthy didn't own Council Housing.
the irony was the long-term drop in her much vaunted concept of a property owning democracy and the rise of the rentier class!
It would be interesting to get her views on the state of affairs!

We aren’t a part of those now, all we kept was right to buy (by the wealthy)and the greed ethic
And all that got us was a moral vacuum called Farage

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill.

Farage is still silent.

It’s deafening.
