The UK’s government proposal to increase taxes has sparked intense public debates in the UK in the past few days with the general public raising concerns over high-taxes to common citizens. Yesterday I had a sit down with Zawadi Machibya of New Media TV in the United Kingdom to discuss and unpack the implications of the proposed tax changes in the UK. During our conversation, we also talked about recent waves of coup in the Sahel belt of Africa and their implications for strategic interactions between the Global North and Africa.

Amble about trying to do some good. Likes silly jokes and cheese and onion sandwiches. Please don't pitch me .
The Kier Starmer Speech that should have happened from the Rose Garden:) "Today, I stand before you in a moment of renewal and opportunity. We have faced significant challenges in recent years, but I want to reassure you that this is not a time for despair; it is a time for action, transformation, and optimism. The difficulties we’ve inherited—whether economic, social, or political—are real, but they are not insurmountable. Every challenge presents an opportunity for growth and improvement, and I am confident that, together, we will rise to meet these challenges with strength, unity, and innovation. We have the tools, the talent, and the resilience necessary to build a brighter future. Our economy may face obstacles, but with clear vision and sound policy, we will turn these obstacles into stepping stones. We are laying the foundation for long-term prosperity—fostering innovation, supporting small businesses, and creating opportunities for the next generation. With strategic investment in clean energy, technology, and infrastructure, we will position the UK as a global leader in the industries of tomorrow. In addressing societal issues, I believe deeply in the power of community and compassion. Recent unrest has shown us where the fabric of our society has frayed, but it has also illuminated the strength and determination of our people. We will heal these divides by focusing on fairness, inclusion, and shared progress. We will invest in education, health, and social services, not just to repair what’s broken but to build something better for everyone. As your Prime Minister, I am not here to dwell on past mistakes but to guide us towards solutions. The challenges of our time require all of us to come together, drawing on our collective wisdom and creativity. By working in unity—government, business, and the people—we will create a society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. I believe in the resilience of the British people. Our nation has weathered storms before, and we have always emerged stronger. This moment will be no different. We will not just survive—we will innovate, prosper, and lead. So, while there is hard work ahead, I invite you to join me in this journey of renewal. Together, we will build a better, fairer, and more vibrant Britain for all."

🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July and Happy UK General Election Day! 🇬🇧 Today, as we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish, and as our friends in the UK exercise their democratic rights, let's reflect on the significance of freedom and the ongoing fight against human trafficking. Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery, exploiting vulnerable individuals through force, fraud, or coercion. It's a stark reminder that the fight for freedom is ongoing. Whether in the US, the UK, or anywhere in the world, freedom and democracy must be protected and extended to all. This 4th of July and UK General Election Day, let’s honor the spirit of independence and democracy by committing to actions that help end human trafficking: 🔹 Educate ourselves and others about the signs of trafficking. 🔹 Support organizations working tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate victims. 🔹 Advocate for stronger laws and policies to combat trafficking. Freedom is not just a right—it's a responsibility. Let's use our voices and resources to ensure that everyone can experience the liberty and justice that define our nations. Happy Independence Day and Election Day! Let's work together to make freedom a reality for all. 🎇🗽🗳️ #IndependenceDay #FourthOfJuly #ElectionDay #FreedomForAll #EndHumanTrafficking #LibertyAndJustice #Democracy
Happy 4th of July - don’t take freedom for granted many don’t have it! https://lnkd.in/eNkaNRsY

Let’s rethink our national holidays. Some ideas: 1. Move Memorial Day (to May 30, July 3, or Nov 11) to restore its meaning. 2. Get rid of Columbus Day and Presidents Day. 3. Establish a new holiday: National Day of Service. Gift article: https://wapo.st/3UUOVBE

Tomorrow at 10am EST, I’ll testify before the United States Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship at Bowie State University. We’ll discuss the importance of supporting minority-owned businesses. With their significant contributions and untapped potential, we need targeted policies, like expanding federal programs and enhancing financial support. Agencies like the Minority Business Development Agency - U.S. Department of Commerce Development Agency and programs like U.S. Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Program are crucial for leveling the playing field. Let’s ensure equitable opportunities to bridge the racial wealth gap and foster overall prosperity and diversity in the American economy. Here is the link to the hearing: https://lnkd.in/ep9Hr-ve

Part 2/1: 2: ### **For Origin: The Purpose Behind Nepotism** David Walker’s life had always been outlined by the invisible yet unbreakable threads of expectation. In Wellington, the Walker family’s influence was as pervasive as the wind that sweeps through the city streets—unseen but felt by everyone. David's ascent within the governmental ranks was swift, his path greased by the legacy of his forebears. This journey was not solely his but was undertaken 'for origin,' serving a dual purpose: to maintain the family's esteemed position within the bureaucratic echelons and to ensure the continuation of a power lineage that had shaped the contours of local politics for decades. David’s story unfolds in the shadow of the Beehive, where decisions that shape the nation are made. His career within the Ministry of Health was marked by a series of promotions that many outside observers attributed to his competency and dedication. However, those within the corridors of power whispered a different story—a narrative of meetings in wood-paneled rooms and positions offered with a nod and a handshake, where the surname Walker carried more weight than any resume. The purpose behind this nepotism was multifaceted. On one level, it was about preserving a legacy, ensuring that the Walker name remained synonymous with leadership and influence. But on a deeper level, it was about control. By placing members of their family in key positions, the Walkers could steer policies and decisions in ways that benefited their interests, perpetuating a cycle of privilege and power that had roots deep in New Zealand's colonial past. David, however, was not a mere puppet of tradition. He possessed a keen mind and a genuine passion for public service. Yet, the awareness of his unearned advantages cast a shadow over his achievements. The inner conflict he faced was palpable: how could he reconcile his desire to contribute positively to society with the knowledge that his position had been secured not by merit but by birthright?
