My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Energy prices are expected to go up again in October, more than the VAT cut. In France Energy prices are 60% of the UK. Because they are nationalised and it is sold at cost, not with vast profits added onto it.

I abhor the Times but two things are true here 1. The love affair between Right Wing MSM and Farage has died. The Times spent years studiously ignoring Farage’s dodgy dealings but recently planned a report on his many houses 2. Farage is brittle & can’t handle pressure, he’s not PM material at all

Farage’s furious clash with Times editor stuns figures close to him

‘Strong confrontation’ comes at fragile moment for Reform’s relations with rightwing media as coverage turns negative

Italy just sent 32 people to prison for killing 43 people in 2018 with a dodgy bridge. In the UK 0 people are in prison or even on trial for killing 72 people with illegal cladding in 2016.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

The Times is reporting: Convicted US fraudster “Posh George” Cottrell secretly bankrolled Nigel Farage, funded social media team, security, drivers & luxury pads. Farage failed to declare it. Had email access too.🤔
