@GBNEWS How on earth can the average person understand any of this? As usual, they just think of new ways to tax and take more of your money. There is no incentives. I despise every single one of them.

Rachel Reeves's tax raid on ISAs to 'FAIL' as 1p loophole could protect savers gbnews.com/money/rachel-r…

@saylordocs Nope, I doubt it will cross $100,000

Do you think Bitcoin will cross $150,000 in 2026?

@The_TUC Surely this is a win-win. Not expecting taxpayers to pay for it, and it's funded by a community who wants to pay for it. 🤷‍♂️

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations. So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut. Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever. In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families. When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

@Thesecretinves2 I fear tax on unrealised gains, it’s already been floated in Holland. I can see it coming.

For UK savers paying attention: wake up. ISAs were sold as 'tax-efficient forever'. Now a 22% levy on cash interest inside them is being floated as 'anti-circumvention'. If they can move the goalposts on ISAs, no UK wrapper is safe. 🧵 Self-custody is structurally different. No platform to freeze it. No custodian to seize it. No retroactive rule change that quietly erases your purchasing power overnight You hold the keys. You hold the asset. That's the whole point. Caveat from your friendly UK Bitcoin & crypto accountant: Self-custody is not the same as off the tax grid. UK residents still owe CGT on disposals, and HMRC receives crypto data via CARF. Own your keys. Pay what you owe. Both can be true. 🟠

@Alexarmstrong @GBNEWS Look into it, code word for ignore, until it’s out of the news cycle.

Polygamy in Britain: 🧑‍🧑‍🧒A husband with 4 wives could claim over £70,000 in benefits. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒A husband with 11 wives could claim over £170,000 in benefits. Analysis by the Conservatives. On @GBNEWS Breakfast. Cabinet Minister told me they will look into this 👇

@liambyrnemp So this is the economic miracle that will safe the country. What a joke of a government.

Labour is cutting VAT to save families money this summer. ☀️Sunny days out 🤞in the summer holidays More family time, less financial stress.

@MelJStride You either conservative or not, at the moment you don’t seem to have learnt anything from the last election.

REFORM - IT NEVER ADDS UP. Reform’s latest gimmick has been ripped apart by tax experts and economists. Reform claim that ‘tax-free overtime’ would cost £5bn. It’s actually been costed at almost triple that - because it would be open to abuse on an industrial scale👇🏻 🧵 (1/9)

@benonwine Skin but I don't really get it.

Does anyone actually know what the LARGEST organ on the human body is? 🤔 No cheating. No Googling. 👇

@DaleVince You have been a very wealthy donor to the Labour Party, and that money has influenced UK energy and climate policy, so that is the kind of “influence” you are now decrying when it comes from the other side. I think I’d sit this one out.

Farage is taking political donations into new territory and to new levels. The influence of big money in UK politics can no longer be ignored. Wealthy people, big business, and foreign-linked money are finding new ways into the system - from companies to cryptocurrency. The danger is clear: politicians make decisions based on the interests of their donors, not the country. Rather than play political whack-a-mole trying to close the latest loophole in donations - crypto being the very latest - we should deal with the root problem. A complete ban on political donations is simple, clear and enduring. No donations means no loopholes. And no influence. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@jdh00001 @MatthewStadlen Labour own report said people will die, they carried on regardless. It’s quite sickening when you think about it.

@AverageJayX @MatthewStadlen WFA was 100% the correct policy decision, it was just a political nightmare.

So just to sum up. Labour win a 174 seat majority under Keir Starmer and return to power after almost a decade and a half. They find governing challenging against the backdrop of struggling public services and low growth, and make unforced errors (winter fuel, Mandelson etc). Social media conspiracies, led by Elon Musk, contribute to a toxic political climate. Nigel Farage, the architect-in-chief of Brexit (which made things harder than they needed to be) pops up with his divisive rhetoric and poorly thought through policies and… Labour MPs, egged on by the media, panic. If Andy Burnham, a man without a plan, wins a staged by-election, he likely becomes Prime Minister. He then either calls a general election and loses Labour its hard fought majority, or struggles through for a couple of years before Farage is better “prepared” to move into Number 10. Stupid doesn’t cover it.

@lukejcr What’s the excuse for voting against grooming gangs inquiry? The moral outrage is pretty pathetic, in the grand scheme of things. We have the industrial rape of white girls and you are more bothered about tweets from 10 years ago.

“Locker-room banter” is a pathetic excuse for blatant misogyny from a grown man. Reform could have called out the overt sexism and condemned it. Instead, they framed it as an “establishment hit job”. Tells you everything you need to know about them. 🦖

@MrLukeGeorge Growing up, climate change has been happening for 100,000 years.

"Climate change is fake" Except it's not!

@PreetKGillMP @edgbastonCLP @harbornelabour @BartleyGreenRed @QuintonLabour @WMLabour @BrumLabour Again, you’ve done nothing for businesses or the economy. You don’t have a single policy that will create real growth. It’s a gimmick and doesn’t really save families that much.

The Chancellor has announced the Great British Summer Savings Scheme, cutting VAT from 20% to 5% on tickets for fairs, theme parks, zoos, museums and more. Also applies to children’s meals in restaurants and cafés. Read more here: gov.uk/government/new…

Most people believe climate change is real. It’s been like this since the dawn of time. We need to adjust, but they just don’t think we should bankrupt the country because of it. The media has pushed a narrative, and many so-called experts have lied about the impact and what we should do. I don’t think it’s about left or right.

I’m starting to think that I’m the only right-winger on this platform who believes that climate change is a real phenomenon. Not saying it hasn’t been exaggerated in the media, but I just don’t see how you can wholesale reject it.

@GBNEWS What we should do is import even more people, that will solve the problem. 🤯 The benefits system might actually bring the country to its knees.

'We spend 25 times more on welfare benefits than on getting people into work.' Joanna Marchong and Stephen Pound react as the number of people in long-term unemployment has neared half a million under Labour.

@stats_feed Politics or the pharmaceutical industry

If all humans suddenly lost the ability to lie, what industry would collapse first?

@lukejcr You voted against the grooming gangs enquiry. It pales into insignificance; you could have made a difference but chose not to.

Reform’s candidate in Makerfield said women have abortions for “vanity purposes.” Prehistoric. Toxic. Misogynistic. And Farage wants to put people like this in Parliament.

@LiamHalligan The more inflation rises, the more the government can spend. It’s indirectly reduces government debt and therefore increases spending. It’s the single biggest cause of poverty.

UK inflation was down in April, but will soon surge to 5pc and beyond – which will have seismic economic and political consequences The consumer price index (CPI) grew 2.8pc during the year to last month, down from 3.3pc in March. “We have the right economic plan,” opined Rachel Reeves, as the figures were released last week. “To change course now would risk our economic stability”. If only that were true. Last month’s headline inflation drop was a blip, driven by one-off price adjustments detached from economic realities. Those factors will soon be reversed. Growing price pressures will drive CPI inflation up over the coming months, in my view above 5pc. And if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed beyond the summer, blocking exports of oil, gas and fertiliser feedstocks from the Middle East, inflation could go much higher still.
