    I was pleased to see the very greedy Nadhim Zahawi get his come uppance following his denials of the link between Tory created austerity and premature deaths. Also that John Bird reminded everyone of the Cameron Clegg coalition who instigated the cuts. Even Ms Bruce felt she had to join in. LOL.

    Just being discussed on BBC Breakfast is the release of a document detailing the number of billionaires worldwide and their net worth.

    'Jeff Bezos's wealth dropped US$7 billion year-over-year to US$140 billion as of January, but he retains the title of the world's richest man, according to Hurun.

    The world’s billionaire population reached a record 2,816 in 2020, adding 346 more from the previous year, largely due to the tech boom and rising stock markets.

    The billionaires’ total wealth—based on their net worth as of Jan 31, rose 16% year-over-year to US$11.2 trillion, equating to more than the GDP of any country other than the U.S. and China, according to the Hurun Global Rich List 2020 released Wednesday.'

    Obscene. The situation cannot continue.
