I see the usual suspects are spreading their fake news again, now claiming the UK government have banned social media for under 16s, but excluded Bluesky from the list. There is no list yet, the legislation hasn't even been officially announced. STOP falling for this cr*p!

Just remember, the last time Tommy Robinson did a fund raiser, he photographed himself at an airport claiming he had fled the country from ISIS. He was actually posting from Alicante airport, 20 minutes away from where he lives in Spain. He was seen working out in his local gym near Benidorm the next day. Tommy does not need your hard earned money to pay his legal bills, Elon Musk pays them for him. Tommy does however have a significant cocaine addiction, he wears designer clothes, owns property overseas, travels first class, hires expensive cars etc. This is where your money will go if you donate to him.

People will attack this policy, but after extensive government consultation, 90% of the parents of under-16s support it. They have watched social media consume huge portions of their children’s lives, so have a very different perspective. Social media amplifies narcissism, materialism, envy and division at an age when young minds are still developing. It keeps children trapped in a digital ecosystem designed to maximise engagement at the expense of real-world experiences, time outdoors, hobbies, independence, and learning how to socialise and build genuine friendships. Perhaps most damaging of all, it encourages constant comparison. Children are measuring themselves against carefully curated versions of other people’s lives every hour of every day. It creates feelings of inadequacy and anxiety on a scale that older generations simply never experienced. There will be much outrage about this, but this policy is truly about protecting children, and anyone who cares about the future of society should support it.

IG Markets currently has the SpaceX IPO at a $2.44 trillion market cap.

Why I feel we are facing a serious correction in both equities and property prices: Equities - 1) Equity Risk Premium - fallen close to levels last seen during the late stages of the dot-com era. Investors are paying high prices for stocks while bond yields have risen, meaning the reward for taking equity risk is relatively low. 2) Shiller CAPE Ratio (measures how expensive a stock market is by comparing today’s prices to the average inflation-adjusted corporate earnings from the previous 10 years) - The S&P 500 CAPE ratio is currently around 41, compared with a long-term median of roughly 16. Historically, the only comparable period was the dot-com bubble around 2000. 3) Buffett Indicator - compares total equity market to GDP and is currently above the 2000 dot-com peak, around 230%. Housing - Far more nuanced. In the most simple terms, we are way above earnings to house prices average ratio, yet interest rates are relatively high. This creates a significant risk in terms of affordability. Basically houses are VERY expensive, mortgage rates make them EVEN MORE expensive. House markets are already stagnating/falling and I expect that to accelerate as the cost of living crisis increases due to inflation caused by a myriad of factors, including tariffs, the war in Iran, etc.

Should we all be asking ourselves what Tommy Robinson is doing with Elon Musk's dad at the exclusive Metropol Hotel in Moscow right now?

I'm not a some overt supporter of Starmer, but if you want to see how manipulation and misinformation works on this platform, @toryboypierce's post here can be used as an exemplary example of disingenous, misleading BS. The data he is referring to is 25 year data. When Starmer took office debt was 99.5% of GDP, today it's 94.2% of GDP. That's actually a fall of 5.3%. The UK is the world's 5th largest economy, recently upgrading from 6th. Debt is not increasing, and the UK is not a third world country - far from it. Andrew takes 25 year data and attributes poor performance to one of the few Prime Ministers during that era who actually reduced debt to gbp. Do we wonder why the working man on the street has been made to hate Starmer with all this utter BS circulated by these compromised grifters?

Wow I've found a way to post about Rupert Lowe without being bombarded by bots 😄

Just remember, if you have enough resources, it's not all that hard to convince people you are the good guys, and to get voted into power. It's only once you are in power and you start destroying the lives of the people who voted for you, that opinions change. These are Trump's popularity numbers. 100% guaranteed Nigel Farage or Rupert Lowe would see the same results if the British electorate are crazy enough to vote either of them into power. Same approach, same politics: convince people some minority is the root cause of all your issues, get into power, vastly enrich yourself and your wealthy donors whilst the working people who elected you suffer. Let's try to learn from the lessons of recent years.

Rupert Lowe, a 68 year old, privately educated, former investment banker, backed by the world's richest man, is trying to convince you he's not the establishment.

It is absolutely ridiculous at this point that we are supposed to believe even 5% of Rupert Lowe's engagement is organic. A random post about @DavidLammy - 8000 likes in 53 minutes. The average View>Like ratio on this platform is around 1%... Rupert's dumb posts are averaging 14%! Oh but he happens to be supported by the guy who owns this platform you say? 🤔

I'll start with the headline: the richest person in the UK could fund 132 million asylum seekers for 6 weeks. Lol, yes you heard that right... The far right propaganda campaigns will tell you that Britain is failing. The data says something else. So no, Britain isn't failing, but wealth inequality makes the average British family feel like it is. Parties like Reform and Restore DO NOT intend to fix this, they intend to make it worse. They sell you the lie that immigrants are the reason for the cost of living crisis, whilst hiding the fact that the top 50 families in the UK own equivalent wealth of the bottom 35 million people. Why do they do this? Because they are directly funded by the very elites who are the problem, and they were put in place to convince you all of an alternative reality. What does this really mean? In simple terms, if you took the wealth of those 50 families, you could make 35 million people twice as wealthy. Clearly that is not a solution, but perhaps it'll make one or two people rethink the lie that giving a relatively small number of asyulm seekers £49.18 per week each for 6 weeks whilst their paperwork is processed, is not why we have long NHS waiting lists, high energy and food prices. So back to that staggering fact: the richest person in the UK has £38 billion net worth, enough to fund 132 million asylum seekers for the maximum six week processing time at the maximum allowance rate of £48 per week.

Wanted to give the Cedar DAO holders a brief update and some insights into Atlas Wallet development. So as of today we are on development build 203 in the Apple Developers Program. We have done a vast amount of work on Atlas since we were lucky enough to have our CTO come onboard. It's been in many ways a painful process for me, because we had to take some serious steps back before we could move forwards. It's also been, on many occasions, invigorating and highly educational for me to work with someone at this level of the industry. We are a small team, looking to compete in an industry where the products we are aiming to rival have dozens of developers, $100s of millions to spend. The way we compete is through a combination of long working weeks, amazing team work, and simply knowing we can build something incredible regardless of our resources. As we stand, we remain well-resourced - of the $1.2 million infusion of funding we had back in March 2025, we have spent $486,571, and still hold $713,429 - this is remarkably efficient, and clearly leaves us plenty of runway for the plan we set out: to get to launch, onboard initial users and then look to raise VC capital. Just a little insight into our process, and for that I include some images. So in very basic terms, it is my job to research and design our user interface and user experience, and I then take my initial ideas and designs to our CTO who refines them through a collaborative process, and he then fully prepares the development approach for our developers to work on. Generally the CTO and devs have daily meetings, and we are pushing almost 1 build a day which the whole team tests together. One of the final elements of Atlas that needs improving before we reopen beta is our DApp browser, which was a pretty poor experience. So I have been working on the designs pictured, and these are now being discussed amongst the CTO and devs in terms of feasibility and process, and we would then expect to see updates in the builds very quickly. It'll be interesting to see these prototype ideas and see how the final DApp browser works. This is definitely my favourite part of Atlas - seeing my scrappy ideas become reality in a working app is pretty cool! I'll ensure I share the final DApp Browser UI when it's in the build, so you can compare. The final versions always end up better than the prototypes! I'll do a full update, as usual, at the end of the month.

Today marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, when tens of thousands of Allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy and began the liberation of Europe from Nazi tyranny. They fought against a fascist regime built on hatred, racism, xenophobia, persecution and the belief that entire groups of people were less worthy of life and freedom. The result was one of the darkest and most shameful chapters in human history, costing tens of millions of lives and leaving scars that endure to this day. Many of those who stormed the beaches on 6 June 1944 never returned home. Their courage, sacrifice and determination helped defeat an ideology of intolerance and oppression, securing the freedoms that generations have since enjoyed. As we commemorate their sacrifice 82 years later, it is worth remembering that the lessons of history are never permanently learned. At a time when the same prejudice, extremism & intolerance is once again gaining ground, we must remain vigilant in defending the values for which they fought: democracy, freedom, equality, human dignity and respect for all people. We will never forget their sacrifice, nor the ideals they gave their lives to protect. Lest we forget.
