Markets latest: Gas price soars 93% since start of conflict
Drone strikes across the Middle East and Iran's effective closure of a key shipping route are spooking investors and traders. Follow the latest on the global markets.
This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea
If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

How democratic is the UK?
The UK has a crisis of democracy
Average real wage of UK workers barely moved since 2008.
Some bosses collect 1,110 times the average worker pay.
50 families have more wealth than bottom 50% of the population combined.
Super-rich buy political parties and lawmakers to advance their interests.
Did you vote for the above?

As Prem Sikka says, we urgently need to end privatisation of our Welfare State. Indeed, a hint is in the word 'State'. It should be 100% in the public domain.
What on earth does this 'Labour' Government think it's doing? Get rid of privatisation of our public services for FFS!

BPβs new boss will take home at least Β£11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor
Meg OβNeill will be first woman to serve as CEO of 117-year-oil firm when joining from Woodside Energy in April
BPβs new CEO to take home Β£11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor.
Daily pay > annual median pay of UK employee.
CEO pay at one company is a benchmark for another. Others will want more.
Govts, BOE, CBI and other neoliberals talk about wage inflation, but silence on fat-cattery.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.
Did you see this headline?
Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?
Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his faultπ€·ββοΈ
Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?
Course you would!π

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional
Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.
This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.
This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

If itβs true Reform UKβs Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.

@elliechowns.bsky.social : "In 2020 Starmer said he did not think the UK should enter into military action without a legal justification, without a clear goal & without parliamentary approval. None of those conditions are in place now. Indeed, it is an illegal war led by a war criminal"
