So we are told millionaires are deserting the UK.
Many are probably Europeans who no longer feel comfortable here. Others no doubt don’t have pure white skin and so also feel less welcome these days?
I hope someone is in a position to research this?

MAGA types don’t seem to care if they suffer from Trump policies, so long as the people they dislike suffer more.
Do Faragists feel the same?
Reform might pursue policies (eg NHS or State Pension cuts) that traditional parties would not be allowed to consider?
Do you think they could succeed?

Considering this is mostly a plan that originated under Grant Shapps, it’s depressing this is only happening… 16 months in to the Labour government. Everything is so slow.
Politico: "Transport Sec Heidi Alexander is laying the Railways Bill in parliament later. It will create DfT’s flagship publicly owned Great British Railways, which...will bring together all the many (often awful) organs to operate & manage the trains, reform ticketing and improve supply chains."

Spot on. He kept going despite the interviewer defending Farage & Brexit (as they all do).
Farage gave us Brexit and Britain got poorer. It was never going to work.
It's time to rebuild our relationship with Europe.

Do I detect the start of a movement in the US to take big money out of politics?
Seems like something that would also be very popular in the UK.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

The consequences for the UK of the EU steel tariffs could accurately be reported as a consequence of Farage’s brexit.
But according to the Daily Telegraph, they are down to Kier Starmer.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵
An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.
