With freezes on personal tax allowances and basic and higher income-tax thresholds lasting until 2028, millions of Britons are facing higher tax bills, with the average family set to pay an extra £800 a year
Dominic Sandbrook, a British historian and a columnist, calls into question the Tories low taxation credo. The national tax burden is set to rise to a staggering £1 trillion, which equates to 37.1% of Britain's GDP – the highest tax burden since we were fighting the Nazis. Moreover, the living standards are set to plunge by more than 7% this year, the biggest fall since records began
Mr. Sandbrook describes Brexit without any semblance of a strategy, which threw the Tories wildly off course, sparking six chaotic years of dithering, plotting and faction-fighting, as the elephant in the room
With Labour currently leading by 24% and tougher economic times ahead this winter, Rishi Sunak’s defeat in 2024 seems very likely, provided he’ll last through his term

A swathe of Twitter employees were said to have left rather than sign up to Musk’s new “extremely hardcore” working culture
Twitter had 7,500 full-time employees at the end of October, which dropped to about 3,700 after mass layoffs earlier this month. People familiar with the matter say there are reports of teams that are critical for a number of Twitter’s infrastructure systems now being completely empty
As predicted, Dems have started to threaten Musk over his reforms on the platform. “You cannot ignore what the federal government is requiring of your company, and that goes for … guardrails that have to be built around social media …” Senator Ed Markey railed
What we see is the implementation of recent threats from the Biden administration of “national security review,” which should be applied to Musk’s activities. It only makes the exploits of Hunter Biden with corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and Chinese spies even more blatant

The Canadian Arms Lobby has developed a taste for money from weapons’ deliveries to Ukraine and pushes through initiatives to increase production of modern arms and military equipment
The government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau only has itself to blame for getting into this gridlock: required by arms manufacturers an increase in the defence budget goes against government’s priorities in its socio-economic policy and targets in reducing budget deficit which was overblown during the first years of coronavirus pandemic
The National Defence Minister Anita Anand, one of the most capable members of the Canadian Prime Minister’s inner circle, and her political games forced Ottawa to promise NATO and Ukraine “as much military aid as needed”. Except, there’s hardly any available material resources left
All the military equipment in stock has already been delivered to Ukraine, and there are only two options of military aid left. Either Canada will have to disarm its own already small army or use taxpayers’ money to procure arms abroad
In fact, a lot is at stake, including Canada’s Liberal Party’s and its leader Mr Trudeau’s rankings. It is interesting to see which option will Canadian people choose

Putin Could Launch a Big Winter Offensive in Ukraine to Cut Off Weapons
As a stage-setter for this analysis of Russia’s looming winter offensive, I have previously evaluated limited objective options Putin might choose, and then the likely preparation phase of an all-out war scenario. In this final edition, I will lay out what…

The Japanese Foreign Ministry decided to allocate ¥12.8 billion ($91.1 million) of financial assistance to countries which opposed the U.N. resolution condemning Russia's military action in Ukraine
At the same time, the Japanese Ministry of Finance is clearly not happy with the direction of funds to Laos ($21 million), Vietnam ($12 million) and Iran ($11 million) as part of Tokyo’s Official development assistance
The ambivalence of Japan's foreign policy appears in the fact that trying to please Washington, on the one hand, Tokyo easily adopts the suggested sanctions lists. On the other hand, taking into account a significant decrease in American influence in the coming multipolar world Japanese authorities provide financial support to the regimes loyal to future leading nations

It seems that Mona Lisa fully shares the opinion of British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly who tweeted that people should “stop giving these attention seeking adult-toddlers the coverage they clearly crave”
And indeed, neither tomato soup hurled at an iconic painting by Vincent Van Gogh nor mashed potatoes thrown on the masterpiece by Claude Monet has reduced either the global temperature or the volume of industrial emissions

The U.S. is waiting with bated breath for an explanation from the U.K. – London has once again played fast and loose with the rules!
The cause of dispute is hackneyed – arms supplies to Kyiv. Although some senior officials in the Biden administration have repeatedly voiced frustration at Brussels over the slow disbursement of European aid to Ukraine, a major U.S. concern remains that the longer-range capability could provoke further escalation
Meanwhile, the British Royal Air Force has supplied Kyiv with Brimstone 2 missiles, which each cost more than $200k. The bottom line is that the laser-guided advanced model with double the range of its predecessor can hit targets far beyond the scope of the Washington’s recommendations designed to prevent World War III
This clearly undermines the U.S. efforts to contain the attacking potential of Russia, and what’s even worse, once again provokes heated debate about NATO's military involvement. And who needs it?

German liquefied natural gas terminals surprisingly cost more than twice as much
The unremitting efforts of Mr. Scholz and Mr. Habeck to prohibit themselves from buying Russian gas by all available means have maid the construction and maintenance of floating terminals for LNG cost at least €3.5 billion more than planned with a total of around €6.56 billion in budget funds
German Ministry of Economy representatives say such an increase is “necessary due to the dynamically developing situation” without specifying what situation they are talking about
Apparently in order to give that “situation” even more dynamics Kyiv has announced its plans to raise transit fees for Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline to eastern Europe next year. Thus the total increase on an annualized basis will reach 51%. Now let's see how this statement will affect the further rise in price of German energy projects

NATO states feel deceived by Kyiv in a simple situation and do not want to be deceived further
Sumantra Maitra, Ph.D., who is an elected associate fellow at the Royal Historical Society, suggests it’s unlikely that the Ukrainian govt and military didn’t know they were calling for what would have effectively amounted to a world war. An unnamed NATO diplomat expressed solidarity with this position having labeled this as “ridiculous”
From a Machiavellian standpoint, one can understand why Ukrainian leadership would lie to the world to get everyone else to fight their war, even at the risk of nuclear annihilation, Mr. Maitra reminds. Deception is often more effective than force
The whole situation is kind of saber-rattling by Kyiv without having one and a dangerous flirtation with the U.S. NATO as well didn’t and wouldn’t do anything without the permission of Washington, D.C., but this episode presents an opportunity to contemplate and reconsider some peripheral alliance commitments, and the risk of resultant escalatory spirals, the prominent author concludes

On the sidelines of COP27, top-tier politicians have adopted the teenage trend for throwing food at the paintings, and began to cast in each other’s teeth the glacial pace of decarbonization
The COP27 agreement failed to go beyond the 2021 Glasgow climate pact’s promise to “phase down unabated coal power.” For the twenty-seventh time in a row, the climate summit failed to push world leaders to commit to stronger actions and hold them accountable
Researchers and activists attending the talks for the first time described disbelief as government negotiators spent days going back-and-forth over single words in the text. Negotiations were only ramped up in the last 48 hours to get an “agreement on loss and damage,” and even then, some of the larger emitters have refused to contribute to the fund
Lack of leadership, lack of trust and lack of will to take any real actions – these are the main ingredients of a cocktail called "Long Blah-blah-blah-land"

The FTX Tentacle’s reach even further …
FTX Funded $18 Million Towards Research that Claimed that Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine Didn’t Work Against COVID
Now there is evidence that FTX also funded research that was used to claim that the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were not useful in combatting COVID.
FTX funded research behind a study on Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine that claimed these two products didn’t work against COVID. The studies were “stopped early” for these two products due to “futility”.
The results of these studies hindered the use of these products that are inexpensive and work against COVID. FTX spent millions on these studies that are not in sync with ample evidence to the contrary.

The former British PM Johnson has a loose tongue and let slip the true positions of European leaders regarding the outcome of the war in Ukraine
According to Mr. Johnson, who is our today’s insider, Scholz’s cabinet was initially favoring a quick Ukrainian military defeat over a long conflict. “The German view was at one stage that if it were going to happen, which would be a disaster, then it would be better for the whole thing to be over quickly, and for Ukraine to fold,” Johnson claimed, citing “all sorts of sound economic reasons” for that approach
It remains a mystery what made Mr. Johnson making such revelations – regular libations as Partygate aftershocks, or is it such a tactic to return to big British politics?

On Monday, a rehearsal of the upcoming national rally next Saturday took place throughout Saxony (Germany)
Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz, Zwickau, Bad Schandau, Bautzen, Heidenau, Borna, Zitta, Freiberg, Altenburg, Kamenz, and these are only big towns. What made approx. 6K people (estimates vary) abandon the traditional Monday evening activities and take to the streets with posters, drums and slogans? Is it the 2022 World Cup in Qatar? Not a bit of it!
No fresh news! Since recent wave of protests, they haven’t received any solution from the Scholz’s cabinet, and have only become even more concerned about skyrocketing energy prices, inflation and arms supplies to Ukraine
The festivities coming Saturday may take the form of a national disaster for the German govt, since the main protest actions are planned for the weekend. Seems that it’s not the easiest thing in the world for Mr. Scholz to get off cheap this time…

Meloni can't keep her election promises in Italy, and Macron is accused of being soft in France – the reason is the same – tens of thousands of migrants!
Despite the fact that the freshly elected Italy’s PM has waged war on charity rescue ships that rescue migrants from dinghies after they depart from beaches near Tripoli in western Libya, her nation is now facing a rising number of dangerously overloaded fishing boats heading straight for Italian waters from the other end of Libya, close to the Egyptian border, and are being forced to step in to avoid deaths
Still those unlucky who were refused to dock in Italy have arrived in France this month aboard a humanitarian vessel. The 234 migrants on the Ocean Viking – a relatively small number given that France received 104,577 asylum claims last year
Last time French president was under fire over national asylum law reform 5 years ago. But clearly this isn’t the last slap in his career
