Wes Streeting is talking dangerous nonsense on obesity
Wes Streeting says cutting 50 calories a day will solve obesity and save the NHS. That’s bad politics, bad science and classic neoliberal blame-shifting. In this video, I take apart his arguments and ...

A) indeed she has. Now you/she needs to ensure only the best suitors get within 50 metres of her. I’d use a cattle prod to keep their distance.

A) She’s grown up, hasn’t she?!
B) I see that #ncfc have now gone with an ex #gunners player as their head coach. Naturally, I adore Daniel Farke and Russell Martin (and want them back home as that era meant so much to me!) but your thoughts on Jack Wilshere?

The ‘squeeze out’ - rich get richer they have ‘low marginal propensity for consumption’ meaning they buy assets more than ordinary folk. House and stock prices rise; at first feels good for us. But the rich will soon outcompete the ordinary folk out of ownership of assets particularly housing.

The ‘squeeze out’ - the rich as they accumulate, impoverish ordinary folk. Post war welfare capitalism was an aberration, now we return to rentier and predatory capitalism.

The ‘squeeze out’ - the rich accumulate and then out compete everyone else for assets. The middle class are beginning to feel this now. Debt and wealth loss is the result for ordinary families.

Why do so many idiots end up in power?
Bertrand Russell took up that question in 1946—shortly after a number of powerful and malicious idiots killed around 85 million. “The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.”

Hobknobs. Is there a finer dunking biscuit? The Rich Tea has a place in the pantheon of hot beverage nibbles, but it has the staying power of a post coital erection after a particularly energetic session of dogging in Epping Forest* (*other comparisons are available). @richardtatham.bsky.social
