@PolitlcsUK There is only one thing worse than some bad decisions and that’s constant U-turns. It sends the signal that this government not only has poor judgement, but also lacks principle and decisiveness.

🚨 NEW: The Government will now pay all of Reform UK’s legal costs after its U-turn on delaying 30 council elections

@samuel_leeds You must be ridiculously disorganised and lack any sense of attention to detail if you ran out of petrol.

@thatsKAIZEN Wow. Very well said.

Billie Eilish says America is on stolen land. Ok. Who should we give it back to? The Tongva people? Or the people they stole it from?

@Heccles94 The answer is in your question… if 9,100 employees are only 4.1% of the total workforce on Microsoft’s example.

Musk sacked 80% of staff when he bought twitter Bezos is sacking 14,000 people to replace with AI Microsoft are cutting 4.1% of jobs (9,100) to replace with AI Intel are cutting up to 25% of staff to replace with AI What's that about billionaires creating jobs?

@DrSteveTaylor The surplus is simply the result of a much larger current (contributing) NHS workforce, than the number of pension recipient ex-NHS staff. It would always be the case with any unfunded pension plan.

Just going to put this here

@pritipatel I assume that means the chancellor now has a £35Bn extra headroom? Look forward to the fiscal stability this will create.

Breaking news on CHAGOS. In the face of relentless Conservative pressure, Labour have pulled their shameful Chagos Surrender Bill from Monday’s House of Lords order paper. This is a major victory for everyone standing against Keir Starmer’s disgraceful Chagos Surrender. The deal, which hands British sovereign territory and £35 billion to an ally of China, should be dropped altogether. The Conservatives will continue to fight the surrender every step of the way.

@Heccles94 Instead of jumping to conclusions I would love to hear what the locals would think about having their country not only rebuilt, but having it transformed a prosperous place with secure jobs. If you put your Champaign socialist ideas aside, you’ll see that’s best for the people.

If we allow this to happen, justice is dead. If we allow this to happen, law is dead. If we allow this to happen, hope is dead. If we allow this to happen, evil wins. Fight this with all you have. We must not let this happen.

@Heccles94 @elonmusk @Tesla Can’t wait for my new Tesla to be delivered.

Three things we can all do to fight back against @elonmusk 1) boycott X every Sunday. 2) block @elonmusk 3) boycott @Tesla Who's in?

@HowThingsWork_ Imagine trying to get in your car and battery accidentally deploys due to a fault.

China is testing EV's that can EJECT their batteries in emergency situations. Good idea or overkill? 🤔

@DrSteveTaylor Both sides are digging their heels in over here.

Oh … ‘no one’ can negotiate with the BMA

@BBCNews They’re accepting a 4.25% pay deal instead of throwing a tantrum over not getting 22%. This speaks volumes of the leadership of BMA Scotland. The English counterparts could learn from their sensible approach.

@PressSec Why can the UK not come up with such thing?

🚨🚨🚨🚨This is HUGE! 🏡

@pattyrickk 1. Your angle is too high, I always feel like closer to the flat bench gives me better pecks activation 2. You’re going too deep, putting strain on your shoulder joints and rotator cuffs. Constant tension is more important than full range of motion.

i once again come to this platform to ask for advice on my form. why do i feel this more in my shoulders and triceps than my chest

@zarahsultana Disgraceful language. Once again the far left can’t bring itself to clearly condemn criminals and terrorists, instead rushing to excuse or “contextualise” them. “Bogus” charges? Also… how about for once they would worry about internal affairs?

I asked the Foreign Secretary whether it would be legal if a foreign power accused the British Prime Minister of breaking its domestic laws, bombed the UK, killed dozens of British citizens and abducted the PM and his wife in the middle of the night. She refused to answer.

@Keir_Starmer I don’t think I’ve ever seen the country this divided. It’s hard to imagine our social cohesion breaking down any further.

We need to shoot down this idea that slogans, easy answers, quick fixes and shortcuts are what fix the country.

@JillPoguelover @inspirerace @BotFinderUK @grok They paid £40M in royalties and ended the year with a £35M loss. Even if they did not pay royalties, they would have made £5M profit on over £500M revenue… that is some insanely small margin.

@inspirerace @BotFinderUK @grok Yep the royalties were paid to their parents company in the USA in other words. Left hand passes to right hand and says now I can't pay tax....

Starbucks made £500m profit in the UK this year and paid ZERO tax. It pays staff poverty wages, too. But by all means, keep blaming the vulnerable and refugees for your lack of cash...

@BladeoftheS When share price falls, will HMRC issue a refund?

Why are shares not taxed exactly like money? If your company pays you in shares the Government takes 40% exactly as they would if you were paid in money. It is simple.

Let's talk about @garyseconomics and @ZackPolanski... They constantly talk about taxing the rich and helping the poor, but they refuse to engage with the single biggest driver of inequality in modern economies - inflation. I know this because, like Gary, I benefit from it. Gary 100% absolutely benefits from it. He has told us how much money he has made, he likely keeps this in assets, those assets will inflate. I am in the same financial position as Gary, possibly better, and inflation has made me wealthier without effort. This is not a flex, it is just a fact and I am bored of rich people lying about it. Inflation is a hidden regressive tax, which governments love as it wipes away debt. It cripples wages while quietly transferring wealth from the poor and middle-class to the rich via purchasing power. Simple explanation - more money creation out of thin air pushes up the prices of things. Housing gets further and further away and life just gets punishingly more expensive. The rich do well as they keep their money in assets, which also inflate, which they can borrow against or sell and buy nice things. Neither Gary nor Zack will meaningfully engage with what causes this: 1) Central bank money creation 2) Fractional reserve banking 3) Persistent government deficits These are the engines of asset inflation and middle-class destruction. They are avoidable but require long-term political planning. Politics is narrative and is all about selling ideas and short-term planning - winning power. Gary and Zack talk endlessly about inequality, but they never seriously addressed asset inflation, the mechanism by which the rich actually get richer. Why? Because addressing it would force them to confront the economic model every major political party relies on - inflationary finance to fund an ever-expanding state. If you ignore this engine of inflation while claiming to fight inequality, you are not challenging power, you are part of the problem. You cannot support inflationary economics and claim to stand for the poor. The outcomes are mathematically incompatible. If Gary and Zack continue to avoid this discussion, the conclusion is unavoidable. Zack collapsed under the slightest pressure on The Rest is Politics and Daniel Priestly demolished Gary. DO NOT let them get away with, repeat it endlessly. It is why I can ratio Gary with ease, because enough people know he is chatting shit.

@docanonx You are delusional. Try and look beyond the walls of your practice, don’t take my word for it.

@Sam_Debate_ You have no idea about healthcare. Cheapskates like you want the full buffet but only want to pay a penny. Greed greed greed. Perhaps you’ll rue your disdain for healthcare professionals when your day of need comes.

The average age of the resident doctors is 30. They want to pay “restoration” to 2008’s levels. They were eight years old at the time.

@docanonx bbc.com/news/articles/… It’s funny you say that, as indeed they are and also in many other professions. I’m done arguing with you though, as you are clearly in your own little bubble without much awareness of what’s happening in the rest of the UK.

@Sam_Debate_ They are. They’re paying an extra tax known as pay erosion to subsidise a service the nation can’t afford. One doesn’t go to a restaurant, demand the whole menu, then ask for the staff to take a pay cut because the bill is unaffordable.
