@CxllumJxmes03 IBKR is much better, more professional tooling and doesn’t pull the wool over your eyes in being commission free but then taking money from you in marked up FX fees. Commission free does not equal free as they want you to believe.

@UKLabour We would still have our biggest and most important allies being the US onside then. Instead we a run by a bunch of own agenda politicians, have next to no army of which couldn’t defend any better than Tottenham this season.

@ukhomeoffice But yet if you come here illegally, don’t speak English and don’t have any salary, you won’t be deported and instead get put up in a hotel with spending money and 3 meals a day.

Net migration is down by nearly 70%, with visa numbers continuing to fall. By introducing higher salary thresholds, stronger English language requirements and preventing visa abuse, we're building a system that backs British workers while attracting high-skilled labour.

If you're now designing or redesigning a website, this will help you a lot. I recently curated the best hero sections, footers, social proof and other website parts because I got tired of having 15+ tabs open (even with Mobbin). Giving it away 100% free. Comment on this post, and I'll send a Figma link to your inbox!

The UK has been infiltrated by radical Islam The son of the Supreme Leader of Iran who was just killed by Trump is named Mojtaba Khamenei He just so happens to own 11 properties on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, north London (billionaires row) valued at $100 million - He is linked to a global property empire built through intermediaries, shell companies, and associate, funded largely by Iranian oil revenues routed via banks in the UK - In addition to these properties he’s has additional London holdings include luxury apartments “Want to go to ground zero as why this is happening in London, in the UK, in Manchester. This is what's happening. You're just letting the Ayatollah just spend their money and buy property in your country.” It’s all connected. Politicians are clearly paid off

@EssexPR @ZackPolanski Any of these leftists would probably send Iran money in the form of foreign aid to cover the cost of building the nuke. That’s about as much guts as any of their leadership has

NEWS: BYD today ‌unveiled its second-generation Blade Battery with "Flash Charging 2.0" • LFP • Peak charging speed: 1,500kW • 20% ​to 97% charge in under 12 minutes, even at -20°C (-4°F) • Charges 10% to 70% in 5 mins • 5% higher energy density • BYD has increased the guaranteed capacity retention rate by 2.5% and promised a lifetime warranty on the battery cells • Delivers a driving ​range of up to 1,006 km (621 miles) on the (optimistic) CLTC cycle, an improvement from the ~600 km (373 miles) range in the first-generation Blade Battery. The new battery would likely mean a 450 mile range if tested on the EPA cycle. • Ten BYD models will be the first to feature the battery • The Yangwang U7, equipped with a 150-kWh battery pack, "achieves a pure electric range of 1,006 km, while the fully electric Denza Z9GT have a range of up to 1,036 km" on CLTC cycle. BYD also aims to expand its "Flash Charging" network to ​20,000 stations by the end of 2026, including 2,000 on highways. The company had built more than 4,000 stations as of March 5. However, keep in mind that in the past BYD has been slow to roll out promised ultra fast charging infrastructure expansion.

@EssexPR The team needs more investment though which I think is the only way out of this. Not enough good players, and as soon as a main one is out for injury there is nobody of the same level to cover.

@eliana_jordan 14 no question, it’s the perfect balance of screen size and portability imo. The extra screen real estate on the 16 is just not worth the added weight and bulk, it doesn’t make you any more productive.
