Britain's Complicity In The Gaza Genocide (Report)
On Wednesday 10th September 2025, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog to 'hold talks' in Downing Street. Herzog's visit came just over a week after the former British Foreign Secretary David Lammy penned a letter to Sarah Champion, Labour MP for Rotherham, in which he concluded that, whilst Israel's two-year assault on Gaza has proved 'appalling', the Israeli military has not demonstrated genocidal 'intent'.

6 Ways to Actually Tax Wealth
It's time to get creative. Wealth taxes of 1% or 2% on assets over £10 million would not work. Read my wealth tax report here to find out why: Yet, that does not mean that taxing 'wealth not work', the economic slogan of new Green Party leader Zack Polanski and former trader turned public economist Gary Stevenson, is impossible.
Could Wealth Taxes Actually Work? (Report)
Are we staring tax justice in the face? The newly-elected leader of the Green Party, Zack Polanski, has a single chief economic goal: to tax 'wealth not work'. In practical terms, the 'eco-populist' wants to place an annual wealth tax of 1% on individuals' assets worth over £10 million and a 2% tax on assets valued at over £1 billion.
Britain is broken.
Life in the UK has never felt more absurd. Life in modern Britain is defined by contradiction - a sort of cognitive dissonance that distorts reality. On paper, we are the world's sixth largest economy by GDP, housing some 156 of the planet's billionaires and boasting the global centre of finance at the heart of our capital city. And yet, at the very same time, 14.3 million Brits - more than 1 in 5 of us - live in poverty.

Ribbon cut on late Marylou Whitney-inspired backstretch medical clinic in Saratoga
Mrs. Whitney began the Backstretch Appreciation Program in 2006 that offered many recreational and social programs for the workers on the side of the track that many racing fans never see. One of those functions was a health care clinic that was operated out of a double-wide trailer that still sits on the North side of Union Avenue just inside the horse crossing gate. After Mrs. Whitney’s death in 2019, Hendrickson not only continued their work with BEST, he became even more dedicated toward it.
Yet Another Surfer: An Origin Story
The first time I got on a surfboard was in summer of 2016. I had signed up for a college rec class that met one day a week for eight weeks. It was enough to get my feet wet (no pun intended) and finally see what the fuss was all about after going to school near the beach for three years. The following summer was the next time I'd get back out onto the water. My family flew out to Maui to celebrate my college graduation and transformation into a working stiff.
Thai Carrot Salad
The recipe author basically says to adjust to your own taste, so I bumped up the red curry paste (it has a kick), cut back on the red pepper flakes, and the spiciness was just about perfect! By all means, use rice vinegar, IMO it's really important to the authentic flavor of this salad. I did add a little bit of chopped cilantro, otherwise, followed the recipe. Enjoyed, this is a really nice and easy addition to an Asian meal.
