Our lettuce wins as Liz Truss resigns! dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-ne…

@Heritage Seethe

Radical abortion supporters appear to have violated state and federal law by protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court justices. We deserve answers! Read more: herit.ag/3z3UlAz

@Timcast LMAO look at Timmy preaching about falling for hoaxes. No self-awareness.

A window into exposing the cult The reaction explains why they fall for every single hoax It’s a cult

@GibraltarYall @LeftieStats @DeltapollUK If we assume that 1,000 people have been polled, and if "All" section is correct", then 420 support proportional representation, 280 support first past the post, and 300 aren't sure. So proportional representation wins.

@OG_Peterowsky @LeftieStats @DeltapollUK For example there are significantly more conservative voters than Lib Dem voters. So if you combine the vote share, FPTP would win.

🗳️ Which voting system would you prefer for electing MPs? 🟡 Proportional representation ~ 42% 🔵 First-past-the-post ~ 28% Via @DeltapollUK, 27-29 Sep

@GibraltarYall @LeftieStats @DeltapollUK Could you elaborate?

@LeftieStats @DeltapollUK If we weighted those results proportionally. First past the post still wins

@Lukestonehm @looperoo @whatsinitforme @Dominic2306 Appeasement of aggressors never works.

@looperoo @whatsinitforme @Dominic2306 Do you think said someone is going to just sit by and take the L? De-escalation is the only path to avoid a full on world war. However, I suspect you want that war.

One of the world's most effective entrepreneurs: why don't the politicians do diplomacy instead of escalating a nuclear crisis? Swarm of politics/media/academia NPCs: fuck you, no diplomacy, total victory, Putin is *both* insane psycho *and* too rational to use nukes!

@ApolloWiki @ramsadav @TheLibRadEcho Uh, yeah, companies do get bailouts pretty regularly. bailoutwatch.org/analysis/fossi…

@OG_Peterowsky @ramsadav @TheLibRadEcho When oil companies have a bad year they can lose $21bn, as Shell did two years ago. It was not their fault that the pandemic struck. A $1bn capped profit would cover less than 5 per cent of that! Did you pay them compensation in 2020 for a loss beyond their control?

@ApolloWiki @ramsadav @TheLibRadEcho To elaborate, the concept of allowing uncapped rewards is just as insane as the concept of allowing individuals to suffer uncapped punishments and disasters.

@OG_Peterowsky @ramsadav @TheLibRadEcho Yes, because profit isn’t guaranteed. There is also the possibility of substantial loss. Profit is the reward for risking heavy loss.

@ApolloWiki @ramsadav @TheLibRadEcho Oh boohoo, an oil company is only going to make a few billion pounds in profit instead of a few dozen billion. Do you genuinely believe that companies will withdraw altogether if they are taxed (and get nothing), rather than accepting a few billion in profits?

@ramsadav @TheLibRadEcho If you tax business for windfalls, you discourage companies from making profitably investments. This particularly applies to industries where there is the risk of spending large amounts of money that could yield nothing - like oil/gas exploration.

@EltonTusk @LoftusSteve @DPJHodges Rightoids don't understand that having satisfied, fulfilled, rested and content workers is the only way capitalism can survive, and anything short of that is grounds for rebellion, resentment and social change which rightoids hate.

Imagine in years to come when people actually read in their history books “in the midst of a cost of living crisis, and with interest rates soaring, the British government announced tax cuts for the very richest people in society”. It’s up there with making your horse a senator.

@MeghanMcCain Conservatives mad that leftists care more about policy than gender.

Everyone wants a woman in power until it's a conservative woman in power.

@123db_GEEK @DPJHodges Do you have any like, evidence, to support that? Because again, you're talking about lowering unemployment rate (which I am willing to take your word for), but data shows that child poverty doubled cpag.org.uk/recent-history…

@OG_Peterowsky @DPJHodges You really have no idea. We had communities where almost nobody worked. Actually leaving school and getting a job was an achievement. So yes, it did close the gap not that anyone cared about such petty political point scoring,

@123db_GEEK @DPJHodges Okay, our unemployment rate went down. Great. Is this the only metric you judge a boom by? Were the people happy in the jobs? Did those jobs bring them and their families out of poverty? Did they close the gap between the wealthiest and poorest?

@OG_Peterowsky @DPJHodges We went from an unemployment rate of 14% down to 6% from 1980 to 1990. These are things people today, with more jobs than job seekers can't appreciate.

@123db_GEEK @DPJHodges In what terms did the economy boom? Didn't child poverty double?

@DPJHodges Back when Thatcher did something similar, a whole bunch of economists wrote an open letter predicting disaster. Nobody remembers their names as the economy boomed. This could happen to you too!

@LoftusSteve @DPJHodges Trying to tax cut your way to prosperity has very little success, in my understanding.

@DPJHodges This is because you are used to politics for appearance and not politics for results. Running economic policy on "feels" has been going on too long.

@benshapiro Colonialism needs not be unique, to be bad, Benny.

And colonialism was not unique to the British Empire. Pretending the world would have been better off with the other competing empires is truly foolish.

The hot Twitter take that the British Empire was an unalloyed evil -- the take that seems to lie behind rage against Elizabeth II -- is historically ignorant beyond measure.

@tommog @jeremycorbyn The same article you borrowed this image from states that the UK has the second highest electricity prices in Europe. It also states that the UK is above the average in European gas prices. Then again I doubt you could be earnest and a Tory at the same time.

@OG_Peterowsky @jeremycorbyn More ppl go bankrupt by their businesses going bust than losing their jobs. Employees get paid regardless, business owners have to pay their staff before they pay themselves. It’s far more risky. As to your other point U.K. isn’t even in the Europe top 10 for gas prices

The first act of Liz Truss’ premiership should be taking immediate action to tackle the cost of living crisis that is pushing millions into poverty — this must be a wealth tax and bringing energy companies, water, mail and rail into public ownership.
