BREAKING: “The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong."

Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Back in March 2022, while Russia was invading Ukraine, Farage was defending the rights of Russian oligarchs.

Why was he so concerned about their welfare? Is there something we don't know about Farage and Russian oligarchs?

Even areas getting wetter may experience water shortage as the intense, sudden rainfall that climate change drives leads to flash floods + runoff which don't replenish groundwater.
