The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
This is appalling. How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead after this?
It would be a terrible thing to fuck with Farage by sending ReformUK's election vomit back to their freepost address costing them money.... But I definitely will!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process."
Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed
And I didn't even mention Thatcher!!
"... the most hated PM ever"?????? Where the hell have you been for the last 14-15 years?
He tried both Labour and Conservative then became a Fascist - sound familiar?
NO! This is mass surveillance and serious violations of privacy and civil liberties. Labour - there's absolutely no way to justify this.
The view from the BBC in the UK - Ross Atkins.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔
Well worth a listen from Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos summit.
🚨By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party - lets get this to the 100,000 signatures needed

Farage, who had previously said mass deportations were a "political impossibility", said his party had now come up with "a credible plan, so that we can deport hundreds of thousands of people over the five years of a Reform government". During the news conference, Farage asked Reform UK chair Zia Yusuf whether it was realistic to deport 500,000-600,000 people within the lifetime of the first Parliament under a Reform UK government, to which he replied "totally, yeah".
A sobering thought: were Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister then the terrifying scenes from Minneapolis would become terrifying scenes here.
Liz Kendall has confirmed the way X is behaving is illegal.
Liz Kendall forgot to say when the British govt would stop using an illegal platform.
I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.
You boy, which country is he waging peace against today?
Their 1970 album "Fanny" is brilliant. A regular in our house.
Happy new year, John. You're an inspiration to us all, stay strong.
🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”
Please remember this in 2026 when Nigel Farage tells you we must leave the ECHR to control our borders
I’ve been quieter than usual this week due to a weird mix of work commitments and falling asleep on the sofa at every opportunity.
In my defence, I may have overcorrected by writing the mother of all year-end posts.
This is fair warning, it is long - but, then again, so was 2025.
The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.
Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar
Nigel Farage must never become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
I agree, but look: let’s compare the avalanche of scalding hatred that was tipped over Gary Lineker for saying the IDF should stop mass-murdering civilians against the treatment of Nigel Farage for *actually being a Nazi*. It will always be like this, for as long as this behaviour is tolerated.
In case you missed it ...
Workers with a migration backgound recorded this powerful poem during the pandemic. They feared the UK and its politicians would soon forget how they helped the country survive. And they were right. Fickle politicians who clapped for them then now call them "strangers".
Couldn't agree more with the "shallow focus". Absolutely winds me up!
Twenty years is not a probation period, it is a lifetime. If someone has lived here for nearly two decades, worked, paid taxes, raised children, and built roots, then to say “pack your bags, your country is safe now” is not policy, it is cruelty dressed up as process.
If you're cheering Trump on then you have no right to call yourself a patriot.
You absolute moron.
All well and good but why don't they apply it to their asylum seekers policy? Unfortunately it looks like the Labour party are going to follow the Danish version of "empathy". Empathy is not selective - you either have it for everyone or you don't have it at all.
