Not a bad idea
That's a tough day for the UK Labour government with Angela Rayner's resignation.
A rare true working class voice lost.
Some suggestion that Rayner's misdemeanour of ignoring legal advice to consult a tax expert was weaponised by the Labour right to damage her.
Which raises the possibility that they may have even leaked it to the Tory Press. It seems possible. In order to oust Corbyn sympathisers, UK Labour became procedurally Stalinist, and in doing so removed the stabilising forces that would allow it to ever stop being that way.
Till seeing AB's post, I was thinking "give her a year or two out, let her get her affairs into unimpeachable order, and there could well be a return". Now I'm not so sure. If there's a powerful faction in her own party operating against her, then there isn't much hope for her – or the party!!
Thought Te Arikinui looked and sounded damned impressive earlier today:
Such a contrast to a year ago, when she appeared almost overwhelmed by her new responsibilities.
The investment fund sounds exciting.
While being far from an expert as to how, I do know we need a banking alternative to what exists currently. The Big 4 Oz banks siphoning away billions of profit annually on what is, essentially, a risk free racket.
A banking franchise that has local banks that are small, loan out to small businesses and take a long term view are what this nation needs to boost productivity and provide the 'lift to all boats'. An Iwi based initiative, one that doesn't have the greedy, rentier type shareholders to answer to would be ideal.
That would be the spanner in the works banking needs, what odds our Minister of
Fudging ItFinance entertain it?It would be great if Iwi were to set up a bank that could work with small businesses. I swapped my business to Kiwibank but they were hopeless and so I had to return to the ANZ.
The small local bank chain idea comes from economist Richard Werner. It was the reason whu China grew and grew over the last couple of decades.
He is the latest to shed light on the 'money system' and to pop the banksters bubble.
Prosperity for everyone with a decentralised banking system.
This is a brief Ted Talk from this year. it is the longer interview below concentrated.
This is a longer overview with Tucker Carlson, its worth the time.
Context to that is she was deeply affected by the death of her dad, and it is apparently tradition there are no speeches in the year after which is considered a mourning period.
I'd say, as is usual from Tūrangawaewae, there were some interesting political elements to the speech. No doubt it was aspirational but she did make a pointed comment about protest and its place moving forward.
Perhaps a naive dismissal of the forms of protest activism past which has lifted the Māori voice to where it is today and also of the continued protest activism employed by Te Pāti Māori who re-won Tāmaki Makaurau overnight and hold six of the seven Maori seats…
Not really into tennis, but this might be fun.

not sure how broadcasters can block the sound of booing, but it's likely people will livestream it from their phones anyway.
Ah, well, major tennis matches are no longer been shown on Freeview so I won't be watching.
Did he show up to the women's final? There was actually a USian in that final, unlike in the men's final.
Don't know what's been happening. Have you considered a VPN to watch the things not on freeview?
