Trump refuses to help Middle America...
Major housing affordability bill will become law without Trump’s signature
Angry at Congress for not passing his election-focused SAVE America Act, Trump dismissed the bipartisan housing legislation as a “yawn.” But he does not plan to veto it.

"REMOVE TRUMP NOW!"
Having reduced military expenditure for years, and now having (pretty wilfully) engineered a decline in the UK's soft power, the country is left scrambling to organise military response(s) while our international profile & influence (especially after Brexit) has also declined.
Can this be 'repaired, or does it reflect the decline in the UK's weight in the world due to its stuttering & moribund economic reality?
If so, 'repair' needs to start with the economy not the MoD

A French court clears the way for far-right leader Le Pen to run in 2027, with an ankle bracelet.
An appeal court on Tuesday upheld Marine Le Pen’s conviction for embezzling EU funds but shortened her ban on running for public office, in theory giving a path for the far-right leader to run in the 2027 presidential election.
The court also sentenced Le Pen to a three-year jail term: two suspended and one with an electronic ankle tag.

Lets start today with something positive:
As Charlotte Tomlinson relates, the introduction of routine use of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine in 2008 (for girls between 12-13 years old) has led to a massive reduction in deaths from cervical cancer in the cohorts so vaccinated.
Quite apart from the positive consequences of death's avoided, its also a great example of the value (both social & economic) of preventative medicine.

For years conspiracy theorists have wanted people to pay more attention to the annual Bilderberg Conference... and in this case I think they are right: this annual meeting of the powerful does look as if its malign influence is very real.
But now Carole Cadwalladr has joined the dots to link Bilderberg with Peter Thiel (and also Epstein) suggesting that we really *should* be examining Bilderberg's shadowy role in the global political economy.

The ongoing crisis in the universities (high levels of actual & potential job losses) have engendered relatively little public outcry.
For years, I argued that universities (including my own) should do a much better job of civic engagement (bridging the 'town and gown' divide, as it were);
this failing has left universities with fewer friends to argue their case nationally than other sectors - from health to steel manufacturing.
Universities have been too aloof.

Q. if every employee owns shares in a company, do they need to also be represented by a union?
Octopus energy thinks not & are resisting moves by the GMB towards a voluntary recognition agreement for those staff who think a union would help them represent their interests in the speedily growing energy firm.

The Worst American in History: The Numbers
Trump topped the list of the worst Americans in history according to the YouGov poll, with a total of 34 percent of respondents selecting him. That’s more than double the share who chose the second-place finisher. Jeffrey Epstein came in second at 14 percent, followed by Jeffrey Dahmer at 8 percent.
