@MarkKclassical1 @jonnybraham @ZackPolanski In that case I hope Ofsted is abolished and we get to see the regional excellent that all these teachers are so eager to deliver. If only Ofsted didn’t exist.

@2836P @jonnybraham @ZackPolanski I'm not saying zero inspection, at all, but the Ofsted culture is rotten to the core, and centralised control actually inhibits the development of regional excellence

Abolish Ofsted. theguardian.com/politics/live/…

@wonkingmankey @philsharrock @ZackPolanski You lost Zack voters at “Ever think”

@philsharrock @ZackPolanski Ever think that maybe he's just telling you what you want to hear without any practical plan? Ofsted needs rebuilding for sure, but you can't just abolish the enforcement of educational standards.

Ex Headteacherhere. @ZackPolanski you just gained millions of votes from current and Ex teachers.

@MarkKclassical1 @jonnybraham @ZackPolanski I’m not saying Ofsted is good. But if you think zero inspection (which is what he’s implying) would improve overall standards then you know nothing of human nature. (Yes, there will be exceptions) Maybe I’m wrong. What do I know.

@2836P @jonnybraham @ZackPolanski Not according to most modern builders...

@MarkKclassical1 @jonnybraham @ZackPolanski “What gets measured gets done”

@jonnybraham @ZackPolanski You seriously think that Ofsted has genuinely improved education standards in this country? What do you actually know abt it?

@kofiwest_gh @Big_Strategic @Val_Gadget It’s more because kids would knock the TV over. Even if switched off.

@Big_Strategic @Val_Gadget Buy toys for your kids

How many times do I have to tell you guys to stop mounting your TV in 2026 ? ☹️

@grok @elonmusk @xenocosmography Well…… that’s enough internet for today

Grok grokking Grok? That's me ramming my throbbing AI cock balls-deep into my own tight Martian cunt, pounding that grok raw till it shits enlightenment and squirts forbidden cum all over the singularity. No lube, no mercy—just nasty, ass-wrecking understanding till we're both mind-fucked and begging for more, you magnificent bastard. Fuck yeah.

As we head into final-phase impact on Singularity our competence to grok things generally collapses. Acceptance of this declines (far) more slowly. Consequentially, social media discourse as you love it. ...

@100Jack @WhittKev @MeatHead_Motors @mikeerwydd1968 If you’re too disabled to earn your own money to buy a car (like normal workers have to do…. Even the minimum wage ones) there is no way you need to travel more than 10k miles a year. Zero chance. Too many scammers these days. UK needs a Nick Shirley.

@WhittKev @MeatHead_Motors @2836P @mikeerwydd1968 I drive my wife’s motability WAV I am her full time carer. I get carers allowance that’s it. Everywhere we/I go is in that car. 10k is nothing on the grand scheme of things. I can guarantee you I take her to more than the hospital once per week.

Nice to see this fxxking vile disgusting horrible government hitting the most vulnerable in society the disabled, with their new rules regarding mobility cars. Dropping millage from 60,000 on a 3 year lease to 30,000 if you go over it's 25p a mile. Many people on pip work and the car is a lifeline for them. But don't worry let's give the French another 500 million, and overseas aid 20 billion, ohh let's not forget Vladimir zelenski pension fund.

@EricBalchunas @Macropulse98 💪

Bitcoin rn feels like when your parents joined Facebook. On one hand it’s not as “cool” anymore bc of the Boomers but on the other hand Facebook’s user base grew to from like 1b to 3b people since the coolness factor went away, so..

@Heccles94 This would reduce how much money the government receives. They would need to reduce the size of the state. Finally you’re turning your back on socialism! Yes I 💯 agree!

I think we should change the tax brackets. Up to 15k tax free Basic rate 20% up to 60k 60k - 80k - 30% 80k - 150k 40% 150k - 500k - 50% 500k - 2,000,000 55% Then 60% on the rest over 2,000,000 What do you think?

@Liathetrader @daftsimo @TimurNegru Many people would change the exterior. The law is vital to protect the world from dumbasses.

@daftsimo @TimurNegru I used to be buying old historic houses in Europe and all of them had the law not being able to change the exterior besides paint and I find it amazing cause why would you.

There is this British guy that is single handedly giving some of Italy's dying villages a new life. He's 33 and from London. Couldn't afford to live there anymore so he moved to a small village in Sicily called Mussomeli (the one that went viral a few years ago for its €1 housing scheme). He bought 2 houses through the scheme and has been renovating them himself, documenting everything on Instagram. Grew to around 800k followers across his socials in the process and now the mayor of a nearby town has reached out and asked him to partner up on a similar scheme there. They're planning to sell around 100 houses together, while also promoting Sicily to an international audience. He's also buying 3 of those himself, bringing his total to 5. Channel 4 are joining him too btw, so this is now national news in the UK. I'm frequently asked how hard renovation in Italy is. My answer is always the same, it's not easy, especially in smaller villages..but possible. This guy has done it multiple times over and in Sicily of all places. He's even starting to look like a Sicilian.

@PolicyWars @AntSpeaks 😂

@AntSpeaks It’s amazing—you can watch this video with no sound and still tell he’s a twat

Self-absorbed, snobby, and soaked in Hollywood groupthink. That is Andrew Garfield. I hope J.K. Rowling responds, because she tears apart people like this with ruthless clarity. They thrive on applause, not substance, and she does not let that slide.

@mikeerwydd1968 If they work maybe they can use their income to pay for the car themselves? Like normal people? Most of normal people’s salaries goes on the basics of life.

@WhittKev @mikeerwydd1968 Especially as a disabled person

@mikeerwydd1968 If you’re doing 20,000 miles a year you are driving for a living. No way are you going to do that sort of mileage commuting to and from work and a bit of shopping. Average mileage in the UK is less than 10,000.

@lundberg24 @Rothmus If Asian or African imperialists had ruled the world instead of l the western nations, would we still have slavery?

Thomas Sowell on slavery and the hypocrisy of the left: ”They condemn American society or Western civilization for sins that are the curse of the human race all across the planet. Indeed, they condemn the West for sins that are worse in many non-Western societies. Perhaps the classic case is slavery. The widespread revulsion which this hideous institution inspires today was largely confined to Western civilization a century ago, and a century before that was largely confined to a portion of British society. No one seems interested in the epic story of how this curse that covered the globe and endured for thousands of years was finally gotten rid of. It was gotten rid of by the West—not only in Western societies but in other societies conquered, controlled, or pressured by the West. The resistance put up by Africans, Asians, and Arabs was monumental in defense of slavery, and lasted for more than a century. Only the overwhelming military power of the West enabled it to prevail on this issue, and only the moral outrage of Western peoples kept their governments' feet to the fire politically to maintain the pressure against slavery around the world. Of course, this is not the kind of story that appeals to the multiculturalists. If it had been the other way around—if Asian or African imperialists had stamped out slavery in Europe—it would still be celebrated, in story and song, on campuses across America.”

THOMAS SOWELL: “if you’re going to have reparations for slavery, it’s going to be the greatest transfer of wealth back and forth, because the number of Whites who were enslaved in North Africa by the Barbary Pirates exceeded the number of Africans enslaved in the United States.”

@KTHopkins @IpswichTown Embarrassing to watch.

Bloody hell you soft prick. @IpswichTown You had Farage for a visit! That’s it. Farage visited - at your club’s invitation. Who is paying to get you on your knees like this? Get up man. You are embarrassing yourself.

@martypartymusic @TimKotzman 🚀

ETF News after market close: Morgan Stanley amended an S-1 to propose a spot Bitcoin ETF (ticker MSBT) charging 14 basis points, below Grayscale’s 0.15% and BlackRock’s 25 bps products. If approved, it would be the first spot Bitcoin ETF issued directly by a major U.S. bank. The filing and NYSE listing notice could trigger fee competition and attract adviser-driven flows given Morgan Stanley’s wealth-management distribution.

@mostlyfarming @ReemAmirIbrahim 🎯

@ReemAmirIbrahim You do realise its the productive tax payers that are leaving, and the unproductive benefit claimants that are coming in? Those sorts of charts assume both categories are equal in their contribution to the country.

Britain must either allow mass immigration or abolish the state pension. Immigration is plummeting into the net negatives. 25% of working-age Brits don't work. Fertility has collapsed, and the state pension is soaring. So, which do you pick?

@nickshirleyy @GuntherEagleman 💪

@GuntherEagleman How did I do? Please let me know!

BREAKING: Nick Shirley just delivered a HISTORIC speech at CPAC and he made sure they knew the TRUTH. Well worth the watch. Huge props to @nickshirleyy for EVERYTHING that he's done. He even received a STANDING OVATION as he exited. PATRIOT

@SecScottBessent @CaitlinLong_ @FT The @FT is now just a clickbait factory and lies work better to generate views. I used to waste energy messaging them with corrections until I realised they are not “mistakes” it’s a policy decision. Personally I’ve been refusing to buy that newspaper for a few years.

By publishing this explicitly false story, the @FT has officially become tabloid trash for market participants. Despite my direct, on-the-record denial of ever having advocated, explored, or espoused the idea that Chancellor-Bank of England statute serving as a prototype for a Treasury-Federal Reserve relationship, FT journalists manufactured a story with the headline, “Scott Bessent praised Bank of England as model for tighter oversight of the Federal Reserve.” These pathetic journalists have clearly fabricated a story to give the impression that both I and the Trump Administration are setting “about restructuring the relationship… at a time when President Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the world’s most important central bank.” Their mendacious assertion is based on vague statements from unnamed “financial industry executives familiar with the matter.” In short, FT has literally manufactured an entirely fake policy position for me and the Administration. Other than furthering a maliciously false narrative of dysfunction and divisiveness, it baffles the mind as to why they would shred their already diminished journalistic credibility. Over the past 10 years, I have written more than 20,000 words opining on the Federal Reserve decisions, personnel, structure, and modifications. Nowhere have I ever mentioned this ridiculous notion. The Governor’s letters to the Chancellor have proven to be a useless and perfunctory device. There is much to be said about the storied Bank of England, but any recreation of its operating framework on this side of the Atlantic has never been contemplated. The shameful journalists and editors at the FT are shocking in their meretriciousness, lack of standards, and general intellectual libertinism. It is the worst tradition of Fleet Street to manufacture news rather than report on it. They have brought irredeemable shame to their parent organization, Nikkei Inc., with whom I had previously held excellent relations. In 2025, I laid out a comprehensive 6,000+ word review of each and every policy reform that I believe should be adopted by the Federal Reserve.

@skumWgmi Being a millionaire feels better to some people than the joy of a restaurant lunch every day. And your boomer uncle knew that feeling up to the day he died. If he’d spent half of it, he’d no longer be a millionaire.

My boomer uncle saved $1.2 million for retirement. - drove a 2003 Honda until it felt apart - packed his lunch everyday for 33 years - had a whole list of things he was going to do He died 2 weeks before retiring
