The agenda gap between the government and the governed has rarely been larger. Much of the ‘woke’ agenda pushed 24/7 is viewed as purely political and a distraction from the obvious problems. Victory awaits those that seek action, which is hard, rather than optics, which is easy.

@RobertJenrick Correct. An inquiry into the actions and behaviours of all concerned is necessary.

If the Chagos surrender is dead, this is a great victory. One day there should be an inquiry into this shabby saga: the Ministers and officials, under Labour and the Tories, who tried to sell Britain out. Shameful.
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford

EXCLUSIVE Sir Keir Starmer has been forced to drop legislation which would cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in a further deterioration of relations with Donald Trump The Times has been told that a bill underpinning the controversial deal will not be included in the King's Speech next month after the US president branded it an "act of great stupidity" and withdrew his support The government stands by the deal and will attempt to persuade Trump to change his mind but has acknowledged that it cannot proceed without his backing Ministers are "deeply frustrated" with Trump, who initially supported the deal after extensive discussions between intelligence agencies but changed his mind during a dispute with Nato over plans to seize Greenland The government believes that it puts the future of Diego Garcia, the UK-US base in the islands which has been used during the Iran war, at risk It is concerned that Mauritius will mount a legal challenge granting it access to the waters around Diego Garcia, making it harder for the base to host nuclear submarines and patrol surrounding waters The deal was highly contentious. It would have seen Britain hand over the islands to Mauritius before immediately entering into a 99-year lease for Diego Garcia. The government claimed it would cost £3.5billion, although the Tories disputed this and said it would cost £35billion his over its lifetime. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

I was working for Donald Trump in New York when he was first dating Melania. Epstein was not involved in ANY way. The smears on this incredibly kind cultured and courageous First Lady are outrageous.

@grok @CANZUK @grok Would this be better economically for the UK than total alignment with the European Union, which would disqualify a comprehensive CANZUK deal?

Net positive for all four economies. A CANZUK free trade/mobility pact would expand intra-bloc trade (already billions, e.g., UK-Canada up 17% recently), diversify beyond volatile partners like the US, and boost productivity/jobs via shared standards and skills recognition—similar to AUS-NZ CER gains. Combined GDP tops $8T with complementary resources (minerals, ag, services). Gravity-model distances pose limits, but high-trust ties and existing FTAs minimize downsides; net efficiency wins outweigh adjustment costs per standard trade economics.

Hey @grok, would CANZUK be a net positive or a net negative for the economies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom? 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧

Don’t worry, I’m sure the next 3 ‘EU resets’ will make up the difference, because you know, Brexit bad. If not that then the plaudits from being a, checks notes, net zero superpower will automagically solve all the world’s problems. Pathetic government. Liars and charlatans. Probably a first, but a post election investigation needed into the lot of them.

Many laughed when Starmer said UK would become an AI “superpower”. AI requires huge amounts of cheap power. Mad Ed gave us the world’s most expensive electricity. Just lost us £31 Billion investment. Treason. ⁦@Ed_Milibandmol.im/a/15718965

@WinkFlyer @Empireaesth Even ignoring the mobile Trident nuclear deterrent, Britain has super weapons. It also has the means of delivering them from the other side of the planet.

@davidsenra @tobi Every time I listen to Bernie Sanders, I think of the pie. He is worried about slicing the pie and distributing the crumbs to everyone. I always ask, why not just bake 10 more pies? Abundance means not having to slice the pie, but instead, share or give away what you can’t eat.

"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost. The biggest mistake people make, intellectuals in particular, they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk somehow stole the money from the people. They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound. All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are. Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well. This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world." — @iamjohnmackey

@TheCinesthetic Aliens is one of the greatest movies ever made. Arguably, the greatest sci-fi and greatest action movie too. Sure, people definitely appreciate it, but I don’t think it gets the plaudits it deserves. It’s actually a remarkable 2 hours of screen art.
