Gavin Newsom: We Need a National Tax on Billionaires. Here's Why

June 26, 2026 | It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract.

10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth.

Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed. The system is fundamentally broken.

The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans.

It’s time for an economic reset.


Earlier generations would have had a revolution by now. Have they gone out of fashion? Or will they come back into fashion?

By the way, fort hat “trickle-down economics” Gavin Newsom spoke of, we can thank the Old Gipper and Maggie for selling that crap to the public. — © Mark Alexander

Cadbury Changed Their Recipe for Australia. Here's What They're Still Putting in Yours

Cadbury removed palm oil from Dairy Milk for Australian consumers after public complaints forced a recipe reversal. Your bar still contains it.

Here's why that happened — and what it's costing you. The same company. The same bar. Different ingredients depending on where you live — and different standards depending on how much consumers push back.

In this video I break down: — What palm oil replaced in Dairy Milk and why it changes the product — Why Cadbury reversed the decision in Australia but kept it in the UK recipe — The margin mechanics behind the substitution — and what you're actually paying for — How UK food labelling rules allow this to happen legally

This isn't about one chocolate bar. It's about the same pattern repeated across the UK food supply — quiet ingredient changes, same packaging, same price, smaller product for you and larger margin for them.

I'm Ben. I'm a working farmer, a primary producer. I don't supply supermarkets. That gives me a very clear view of where quality is lost in the food chain. It's rarely at the farm. It's in the decisions made in corporate boardrooms by people who have never grown, raised, or processed the food they're selling you.


I stopped buying Cadbury’s chocolate a long time ago. I noticed a change in the taste, though I didn’t know why. I always buy real chocolate: Swiss chocolate. Or Belgian chocolate. British chocolate isn’t real chocolate at all. And most foods that come from America is of poor quality anyway. — © Mark Alexander

Carol Thatcher: The Tories Stabbed My Mother in the Back; It Stayed with Her | The Daily T

Oct 17, 2025 | This week marks 100 years since the birth of former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - one of the most influential figures in modern British politics.

In this exclusive interview for The Daily T podcast, Camilla and Tim sit down with her daughter, Carol Thatcher, to explore what it was like growing up with Britain’s first female Prime Minister.

Carol offers a rare, personal insight into life inside Number 10 Downing Street, sharing intimate stories of her mother’s work ethic, her approach to power, and the personal side of a political icon. She reflects on how Thatcher’s leadership continues to inspire female politicians, the political fallout after the Tories ousted her, and why her mother still holds a near-mythic status within the Conservative Party.

THE TELEGRAPH: Donald Trump has ordered the US to cut off all trade with Spain, calling it a “terrible partner” in Nato.

Speaking alongside Mark Rutte, Nato’s general secretary, at a press conference in Turkey, Mr Trump said on Wednesday: “Spain is a terrible partner in Nato. They don’t participate. They don’t pay. I don’t want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits.

“Don’t even talk to them. They’re hopeless, bad people.” » | Chris Price | Markets Editor | Wednesday, July 8, 2026

Zum 250. Unabhängigkeitstag der USA haben viele wenig Lust zu feiern, so Sandra Navidi | ntv

July 5, 2026 | Zum 250. Unabhängigkeitstag der Vereinigten Staaten haben viele im Land wenig Lust zu feiern, konstatiert Sandra Navidi. Donald Trumps rigoros-nationalistische Politik vertieft die politischen Gräben immer mehr, so die USA- und Finanzexpertin.

Donald Trump ist der dümmste Präsident der USA, den es je gegeben hat. Der dümmste, der gierigste und der unehrlichste. Und die Einfältigen saugen das alles begierig auf. — © Mark Alexander

Deutschland — Constantin Schreiber: „Droht uns die Verarmung?“

Jun 1, 2026 | Immer mehr Menschen in Deutschland sind arm. Die Armutsquote ist in den vergangenen Jahren gestiegen und betrifft inzwischen rund 13 Millionen Menschen.

Besonders alarmierend ist, dass immer mehr Menschen trotz Arbeit armutsgefährdet sind und kaum finanzielle Rücklagen bilden können. Viele Beschäftigte arbeiten ihr gesamtes Leben, müssen aber dennoch befürchten, im Alter nur eine geringe Rente zu erhalten. Die steigende Nachfrage bei Tafeln und Lebensmittelhilfen zeigt, dass finanzielle Not längst nicht mehr nur Randgruppen betrifft.

Gleichzeitig wächst der Wohlstand in vielen anderen Ländern schneller als in Deutschland, während die deutsche Wirtschaft unter schwachem Wachstum, hohen Kosten und mangelnden Investitionen leidet. Immer mehr Menschen leben finanziell auf Kante und können unerwartete Ausgaben kaum noch bewältigen.

The UK Survey Result That Has USA Big Tech Worried

Jul 4, 2026 | Two-thirds of the British public want the government to tax the American tech giants MORE. Donald Trump has responded by threatening a 100% tariff on everything Britain sells to the US unless we scrap our Digital Services Tax. In this video I take a proper look at the DST: what it actually is, why the "it'll put up prices for consumers" argument is a con job cooked up by the tech lobby, and why Trump's tariff threats deserve to be laughed out of the room.

USA: Donald Trump baut Washington um

ul 2, 2026 | Donald Trump will die Hauptstadt Washington umbauen. Er hat bereits das Oval Office nach seinem Geschmack umgestaltet – mit Gold, Ornamenten und Porträts. Jetzt lässt er direkt gegenüber einen Ballsaal für 600 Millionen Dollar bauen, plant einen 76 Meter hohen Triumphbogen am Potomac River und schreibt per Dekret Klassizismus als Pflicht-Baustil für Bundesgebäude vor. Und das alles in dem Jahr, in dem die USA ihren 250. Geburtstag feiern.

Aber Washington ist keine gewöhnliche Stadt, sondern durchgeplant bis ins Detail: Sichtachsen, Monumente und Freiflächen erzählen die politische Geschichte der USA. Genau deshalb sind Trumps Bauprojekte so umstritten – sie stören dieses Gleichgewicht. Wir zeigen anhand mehrerer Beispiele, wie Trump Washington gerade verändert und warum es dabei um mehr geht als persönlichen Geschmack.

Will Farage's Finances Lead to His Downfall?

Jul 3, 2026 | Nigel Farage has drawn increasing political and public scrutiny for a £5 million personal gift from cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne in 2024. Farage says it’s for his security and nobody else’s business, but has he made a political misstep which risks his future aspirations to be PM? And do extra revelations about his property portfolio and his lucrative role with a gold bullion company add extra pressure?

Sandra Navidi: Trumps Kasino-Kapitalismus - Umverteilung von unten nach oben: Trump und das System gewinnen immer!

Jul 3, 2026 | Donald Trump ist die Verkörperung der „Casino-Wirtschaft“. Wetten, Manipulation, Korruption: Den Kasino-Kapitalismus gab es schon lange vor Trump, aber er hat ihn perfektioniert. Wenn immer mehr Menschen es ihm gleichtun, sei es auf Aktien-Apps oder auf Wett Plattformen wie Polymarket oder Kalchi, weil sie das Gefühl haben, dass sie allein mit Arbeit finanziell nicht weiterkommen, wird das zu einem wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Problemen.

Farage’s Money-making Business: 'The Public Deserves to Know' | Fraser Nelson & Andrew Neil

Jul 2, 2026 | “He doesn’t seem to welcome this particular part of the scrutiny that comes with public life.”

Farage isn’t “great” at declaring financial gifts and properties, but the public deserves to know, given that he is still widely seen as the person most likely to become prime minister, says The Times’s Fraser Nelson.

'Corruption Is the Only Word for This' | Andrew Neil on Donald Trump’s ‘Shameful’ Wealth

Jul 1, 2026 | “This is greed on a massive scale.”

The mandatory disclosure of the US President’s income shows that Trump’s presidency has “much more in common with a medieval court," proving that the American system of checks and balances are "totally incapable of doing anything about it", says Times Radio’s Andrew Neil.

Affaire Epstein : Warren Buffett suspend son don annuel à la fondation Gates, selon le Wall Street Journal

LE FIGARO : Le milliardaire de 95 ans, généreux bienfaiteur de la fondation philanthropique de Bill Gates depuis près de vingt ans, attend les conclusions d’un audit externe sur les liens passés de l’organisation avec le délinquant sexuel Jeffrey Epstein.

Le chèque ne tombera pas. Contre toute attente, Warren Buffett, 95 ans, a décidé de différer son traditionnel don de mi-année à la fondation Gates, rapporte ce lundi le Wall Street Journal, qui cite des proches du milliardaire. Le patron de Berkshire Hathaway attend de connaître les conclusions de l’enquête externe menée par l’organisation sur ses liens avec Jeffrey Epstein. Sa décision pourrait être repoussée jusqu’à sa traditionnelle lettre de Thanksgiving, en novembre.

La fondation Gates est au cœur de controverses en raison des relations entretenues par son président, Bill Gates, avec Jeffrey Epstein. La publication, en janvier, de courriels par le département américain de la Justice a également mis en évidence des échanges entre le délinquant sexuel décédé et des membres du personnel de la fondation Gates. Son directeur général, Mark Suzman, a ainsi commandé un audit externe pour évaluer les interactions passées de l’organisation avec Jeffrey Epstein. Les conclusions sont attendues d’ici la fin de l’été. » | Par Le Figaro avec Reuters | mardi 30 juin 2026
