The global rich -- the #Kleptocrats like #Trump and #Kushner -- view Mediterranean beach front land in #Gaza with greedy eyes, but they want it cleared of ordinary people so that they can make a playground for themselves. No one wants the #Palestinian people; the few countries -- #Lebanon, perhaps, and #Syria -- have more than enough troubles of their own already. Europe will talk nice words but do nothing.

“Who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others?”, the quote Pat McFadden must be regretting this week, is actually at the core of the responsibility of the government of any market economy.
If you cannot #redistribute enough wealth from the #kleptocrats to the mass, you destroy social cohesion and the wellbeing of everyone -- including the kleptocrats.
The more equal a society is, the happier.

#47 & #cronies are doing their best to remove scientific monitoring systems that are critical to understanding what's happening as the #ClimateCrisis evolves.
While ostriches don't hide their heads in the sand to avoid danger, these #kleptocrats seem to think that if we don't know what's happening, we don't have to be concerned.

@hugo if you accept -- as I believe he does -- that the #Kleptocrats will seize all of the effective power, then... why should they pay us anything? Why should they not just put is into #Gaza-like internment camps, and let us starve?

@janeishly @urlyman @UkeleleEric
Exactly this. One billionaire with his private jet, his superyacht, and his datacentre (and yes, I do mean 'his', these kleptocrats are overwhelmingly male) can undo all the good that the privations of a million honest concerned citizens could do.
No, I haven't flown since 2009. Yes, I've given up my car. Yes, I'm off grid. Although these things may make me feel good, they won't save a world where the #kleptocrats have free reign.

"Sharon Graham, the general secretary of the leftwing union Unite, had a blunt piece of advice [for #UKLabour 'Stop listening to your rich mates and start listening to everyday people.'"
Just so. Britain doesn't need yet another party funded by and beholden to the #kleptocrats

A thought, after listening to all the fucking securocrats wanking off over their Munich Security Conference.
In the Franco-Prussian war, the Paris Commune happened. At the end of the first world war, Russia had a #communist revolution, while the German navy mutinied in an explicitly left wing revolt. After the second, #communism was popular around the world, and the UK elected its most #socialist ever government.
War is not something the #Kleptocrats should wish for.

This is a really good analysis of how #Labour became a right wing party.
I was aware of their courting of rich donors, but I'd missed the revolving door between Labour governments and the defence and private healthcare industries, and the point about Labour directing anger towards immigrants in order to divert it from the #kleptocrats I'd completely missed.

@jonesmurphy @Remittancegirl They don't vote for the media. Even the Daily Mail only averages half a million copies. GB News is 'more popular' than the BBC or Sky but still gets only 147,500 viewers for its top programme.
There is marginal public appetite for ant of this media. We get not what the public wants, but what the #Kleptocrats think it in their interests to pay to provide.

Lest you believe the new act...
Marjorie Taylor Greene's estimated net worth before being elected to congress - $700,000.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's current net worth is estimated at $25,000,000.
By only a few days, Marjorie Taylor Greene will qualify for the congressional pension and benefits plan when she resigns in January.
She wasn't ever "America First", she's always been "Marjorie First."
When the ACA subsidies fall away, just remember Marjorie will be doing just fine.

"Russian oligarch, Mikhail Fridman... [may] use the tribunal to challenge the sanctions the UK levied against him after the invasion of Ukraine. He has already started suing Luxembourg for this reason, demanding $16bn (£12.1bn): half that government’s annual revenue. Among the lawyers representing him there? Cherie Blair, wife of the former British prime minister"
