A faction of the ’Ndrangheta mafia based in Toronto allegedly worked with insiders at two major Canadian banks to launder money, court records show.

Angelo Figliomeni’s group allegedly cultivated ties with staff at RBC and TD Bank. Here's how it worked: occrp.org/en/28-ccwatch/…

What I don't understand is that when presented with the problem that a lot of people are ill.. The solution isn't 'how can we make them better so they can work' but ' how can we force sick people to work'.

For fear there was anybody in any doubt: UK rejects EU offer of mobility for young people.

The worst political leaders in UK history betraying young people (again). And it isn’t just the dastardly Tories. Labour just as EU-phobic.
The same old bullshit.

I don’t think I have heard a more accurate description, in recent times

'Royal Mail faces takeover bid from Czech billionaire'

Absolutely fine. It's only our national postal system. It's not as if it has to be safeguarded in any way. 🤔 telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

It's a deeply personal and reflective one. A thing I would like to underline: in between long stretches of showing up, there are occasionally leveraged choices.

The most insulting thing I find about #PostOfficeScandal is the fact Post Office brands the scandal as ‘Horizon IT scandal’ - Indeed Horizon played a role in discrepancies, yet it was Post Office who did prosecuting, bankrupting and destroyed lives.

Cringe moment from the Cringe PM.

Today is #UnicornDay and you certainly deserved a bit of magic🪄, so here's a gallery featuring depictions of #unicorns 🦄 from #CulturalHeritage institutions across Europe ➡️bit.ly/3fRZVf3

It’s a very small thing, in reality, but I’d love just once to see our PM - or any senior politician - deliver a message in French. Or German. Or Spanish. Or Mandarin. Or any other language other than English and show even the most basic of decent manners like others do to us.

Another terrible day for Europe in what might turn out to be a terrible year of elections across the continent.

Radical right-wing charities on Tufton Street, like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, are constantly spreading harmful climate change disinformation & denial. What does the Charity Commission do to stop them? Nothing. So we're taking them to court 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…

I simply cannot tell you how happy I am to see this as the most-read article on The Herald during #AutismAcceptanceWeek .

Please, please read it. It's so important.
