All I'm saying is that if you had a tribe of say 100 people and 5 of those people hoarded 95% of all the resources while half the tribe starved the rest of the tribe would eventually nationalize SpaceX

Badenoch has forgotten that Thatcher sold off the family silver, Cameron ruined public services with austerity, Johnson ruined the economy for a generation with his Brexit deal. Then he pissed £billions up the wall with dodgy Covid loans and PPE contracts.
Then we had Mad Lizzy!

🇬🇧🇺🇦 BRITAIN JUST HANDED PUTIN A £10 BILLION REASON TO THINK AGAIN
The United Kingdom has announced its largest-ever financial support package for Ukraine, committing more than £10 billion in additional assistance as Russia intensifies its attacks ahead of winter.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government is making £7 billion in economic support available over the next three years, alongside a £3 billion expansion of export financing, primarily intended to help Ukraine obtain urgently needed military equipment.
Britain is also providing an additional £500 million to strengthen Ukrainian air defenses this winter, when Russian strikes against energy infrastructure pose a particularly serious threat to civilians.
The package combines financial guarantees, economic assistance and defense support rather than simply transferring £10 billion in cash.
It comes on top of London’s existing commitments, bringing total British support pledged to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion to approximately £35 billion.
Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, welcomed the announcement, emphasizing that British assistance helps save lives at a time when Moscow is trying to exhaust Ukraine through attacks on civilian cities.
For Kyiv, the significance extends beyond the headline figure. Sustained economic assistance keeps essential public services functioning, while additional air-defense funding addresses an immediate military and humanitarian need.
And for Moscow, the announcement demonstrates that Britain is preparing to support Ukraine not just through another winter, but over the coming years.

MANAGER TEXTED ME ABOUT SITTING DOWN ON SHIFT. I TEXTED BACK MY RESIGNATION.
Manager:
Good evening. Reviewed the cameras from today's shift and noticed you were seated for most of it. This isn't acceptable and we'll need to discuss it before your shift tomorrow.
Me:
I had that cleared with my lead already. I've got two documented fractures in my left foot, doctor's note on file.
Also, for context, I hit 230+ units per hour for the full 12-hour shift. There's a ranked performance board above our stations. I finished first today.
So just to clarify, my output being the best on the floor got overshadowed because I wasn't standing while doing it?
Manager:
I'm not a fan of this attitude. You could've just led with the part about it being cleared instead of being combative. This kind of response isn't going to serve you well here.
Me:
Appreciate you using my time off to bring up something you didn't bother checking on first.
230+ units an hour, by your own metric that's supposedly the gold standard, and I'm getting a talking-to because I was sitting while doing it. Might want to rethink what actually matters here. Also explains a lot about your turnover problem.
I'm not worried about "going anywhere" with this company. It's a toxic environment run by people with backwards priorities. I won't be in tomorrow. Or after that.
Manager:
Let's not jump straight to you quitting. We can sort this out in the morning.
Me:
Pass. Take care.
Quit on the spot last night. Got to make my kids breakfast and actually drive them to school this morning for the first time in months. Onto the next thing, wish me luck.

Today, Russia once again showed how it really feels about ending the war and seeking peace.
The deliberate mass killing of civilians right on the streets and in residential buildings in several Ukrainian cities in a single day – these are Russia’s “arguments” in negotiations.
Ukraine and the entire free world must respond to this with real strength. For every victim in Ukraine, Russian defense industry facilities must burn, and Moscow’s very ability to wage aggression must be destroyed. Only the military strength of Ukraine and its partners can stop the daily loss of life caused by bombs, drones, and missiles in the heart of Europe.
I call on Ukraine’s partners to give the aggressor a fitting response to its daily terror. Long-range weapons to suppress Russia’s ability to wage its genocidal war, effective air defense systems to save the lives of Ukrainian civilians – this is what will truly bring peace closer.
Only together can we stop Russian evil.

Since May 2010 Britain has been diminished by four things. The richest being allowed to evade & avoid paying tax. The politics which allowed Brexit. The incompetence & corruption of Gov during COVID. Tax averse rich using their extra profits to promote far right & fascist groups.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 BUDANOV SAYS PUTIN HAS REACHED A DEAD END
Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦 - "Everyone understands this is a collapse.
Putin has reached a dead end: he can neither end the war nor win it.
Victory is no longer possible for objective reasons.
But to stop the war would mean admitting that Russia is not as strong or as great as he wanted."
Budanov’s point is that Putin is trapped by the war he created. He cannot achieve the victory he promised, but ending the war would expose the failure behind Russia’s imperial myth.
That is why Moscow keeps fighting. Not because it has a real path to victory, but because admitting defeat would mean admitting that Ukraine broke the image of Russian power Putin built his regime around.

A warning to Donald Trump:
I’m deploying election lawyers to key battleground districts in California to protect every vote.
And I just made it a FELONY to illegally seize ballots.

I wouldn’t want to be the Greek shipowner who’s transporting the Russian diesel to the US right now. Only congress has the authority to lift sanctions (regardless of Trump’s executive order) and this shipowner is in a potential world of legal problems in the future if he unloads the oil in the US.

We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

And to the maga nasties out here who are suggesting I am not an American since I also have a Czech citizenship and therefore I voted illegally here in Florida. I got news for you. Melania trump is also a dual citizen- of US and Slovenia.
So yes-
I can vote, I have voted and will be voting democratic as long the GOP remains a party of pedophile and rapist protectors. Among other things.

When you are totally owned by Richard Holden then you have lost.
Farage broadcast his lies, on a live presser, on GB News, in the Telegraph
And then is called out by numerous MPs with reality and fact
Pat Young 🏴 💙 #FBPE #FBNHS #FBPR retweeted
Farage now making allegations he was the victim of a physical assault from another MP within the Palace of Westminster. I assume he has reported this to the Parliamentary Security Department or at the very least The Speaker?
Of course, it's possible he's lying.

According to Le Monde, citing sources, U.S. special envoy Witkoff held a tense meeting in Florida on October 9 with Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office.
Sources claimed that Witkoff spoke to Budanov “like a child,” trying to “teach” him how to make money.
Witkoff proposed a postwar “regional prosperity plan” that included fully restoring Russian oil and gas transit to Europe through Ukrainian territory.
Witkoff argued that Ukraine would earn transit revenues while Europe would benefit from lower energy costs.
Budanov reportedly replied that Ukraine’s model is “not Belarus, but Poland,” then stepped out to call President Zelenskyy, who advised him not to show any reaction.
When the talks resumed, the Ukrainian side was shown a document outlining a U.S.-Russia diesel deal.
An irritated Witkoff reportedly said: “Accept this diesel deal and stop striking Russian oil refineries — you are putting the world at risk!”
Ukrainian participants were described as shocked, viewing the plan as creating dependency on Moscow and noting that the United States appeared to have secured nothing in return from Putin.
A source close to the delegation told Le Monde: “I have never seen the Ukrainians so stunned and alarmed after a meeting.”
Analysts contrasted the episode with the February 28, 2025 Oval Office incident, saying this one involves concrete policy decisions that could affect Ukraine’s ability to defend itself ahead of a potentially harsh winter.
