1st May 2026

That's the date the US is projected to have 1,000 billionaires

No universal healthcare, massive gaps in rail infrastructure, and undrinkable water in many states.

Billionaires though. The American dream!

Bandwidth of people should be the measure; you're 💯 correct

The decisions should move away from Westminster. The government is afraid of anyone else making a decision, but the correct way to run any department is to fund it, measure it, and steer it

The exchequer should not make these decisions

How South Korea plans to use the Iran crisis to spur a renewables revolution Energy crisis unfolding in Middle East has added political urgency, and more funding, to transform the solar industry in particular

This village uses its solar income on free communal lunches, buses and other communal efforts.“If you divide money as individual income, people feel disconnected. People who didn’t know each other for years now get to know each other within days”

I love everything about this.

Typhoon jets launched as aircraft tracked near UK Typhoon fighter aircraft were launched from RAF Lossiemouth on 14 April after an unidentified aircraft was tracked approaching the UK area of interest.

Russians are mapping for gaps in our defenses because they know the only repercussion is they'll be turned away

I don't like escalation, but the costs need to be higher; and Russia can't afford another front

It's a shame there are so many cases of these free carparks filling and forcing people to pay elsewhere and walk further

I'm not defending charging for spaces, but it's clearly not a solved problem

Private companies should never be able to control access to infrastructure

If you created something that became a market or a valuable piece of infrastructure, we'll done. You won at life. It's for the people now.

That includes software - operating systems and search engines should be public

Things can't go on like this, Starmer tells social media bosses It comes as the government continues to consult on whether to ban under-16s from social media in the UK.

🤳 Starmer: "It's clear to me that parents aren't asking us for tweaks at the edges, they're asking us whether a system that clearly isn't working for children should be allowed to continue at all."

Dear media, please stop calling it "the conflict in the Middle East" and start calling it "Trump's war."
"We are likely to face fuel, fertiliser and food shortages because of Trump's war"
Now doesn't that sound more accurate?

"Man who doesn't pay fair share of tax threatens to not pay tax if he has to pay tax"

Weird how the wealthy always act like they're going to leave if the party gets expensive. It's not about what they need. It's about using wealth as a scorecard.

Trains to Universal's Bedford resort within 'first few years' A rail company says four trains an hour will stop at a station there

Most people will be, and that's the fault of The Guardian in this case (not Fiona Hill, who was hired by the government to make sure we're preparing correctly for war)

This review was funded by our government, which is currently ramping up military spending, in order to make sure we're prepared for war

Incredibly dishonest article from the Guardian. Essentially the opposite of the truth.
