With a curious mind and appreciation of my own ignorance I reach out to those who can guide me to the light.

There was a bigger crowd outside the Emirates last night than for Tommy ‘Bottle-Job’ Robinson’s march on Saturday. Arsenal has United the Kingdom in a way he never will.

You are disgustingly decisive for political gain. You are slavishly dedicated to your own survival. You are willfully ignorant of understanding the British people. You are worse than incompetent you are delusional and dangerous. Please Mr. PM resign, as Clint Eastwood once said, ‘….a man’s got to know his limitations.’ You’ve exceeded yours by a very wide margin.

@KTHopkins That’s very gracious of you Katie, just thought I’d share this on your pinned tweet, be a shame if everyone else shared also..

@AngelaRayner @PatrickChristys I bet you do! Any similarly grasping citizen should expect a rather large fine. Care to share yours?

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing.
I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax.
When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate.
I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this.
I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.
I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@TheGriftReport @TheNorfolkLion I did an ancestry and found out I’m 8% Lithuanian and I’m a full fledged gammon!

Yes, my grandfather is full blown English and many Jews I know are the same.
Some families have been here for generations and fully integrated with English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish heritage.
That said, most British Jews are still Ashkenazi with primary ethnic roots tracing back to Central and Eastern European Jewish communities and have not intermarried so the genetic profile is obviously not always the same as Anglo Saxon English etc
But to be honest if unless a Jew is wearing a hair hat etc you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if one walked past you in the street.

'Keir Starmer has got the kind of spanking that you’d expect to see in 50 Shades of Grey!'
@PatrickChristys reacts as Labour MPs turn against Keir Starmer, calling for his resignation after massive losses in the local elections.

I think way too many ppl are delusional about this idea of letting Iran control the SoH, having the US pull out, and just letting Iran set up a toll booth.
Where does Saudi’s power actually come from? It’s not just because they’re rich. Their entire influence comes from being the world’s only swing Producer. We need oil, and Saudi controls that market.
If Iran takes over the SoH, they become the most powerful, one of a kind Global Swing Producer in history.
If they don’t like the oil price? They can just "adjust" the traffic in a strait that handles ~20mb/d to swing prices however they want.
If the UAE gets on Iran’s bad side? "No passage for UAE tankers." If Kuwait tries to build a bypass? "Fine, the SoH is closed starting today. Let’s see if you can finish that bypass—which takes years—without making a single dime."
By letting Iran control that flow, the US is effectively making Iran the ultimate energy gatekeeper. The entire regional hegemony shifts to Iran. Saudi and the UAE lose everything.
Think about it—if you were MBS, would you let this happen? Let’s say the US pulls out this week. The US started this mess, and now the GCC has to just sit there and watch their power handed over to Iran?
Let me give you a reality check for Americans: Imagine Mexico now controls the North American continent.
"Want to fly to the UK? Get Mexico’s permission. Want to import jet fuel from Asia? Pay Mexico a toll and take the route they tell you to.
Did you dare to criticize Mexico? Now, no container ships can enter your waters. You can’t say a word against the great President of Mexico."
It sounds like a fantasy, but that’s the reality for the GCC. If the US tries to run away? If I were the GCC, I wouldn’t let them leave. I’d grab them by the hair and drag them back to clean up the mess they made.
I’ve said before that this is an existential issue for Iran and Israel. Well, Iranian control of the SoH is an existential issue for every other GCC nation.
And the GCC has leverage. They have massive wealth invested in the West, huge U.S. asset holdings, decades of lobbying networks, and they are the biggest donors for Trump’s terms.
And of course they have oil. Do you really think Brent would stay below $100/bbl if the GCC teamed up and cut just 3mb/d for six months?
Even the most optimistic guy knows the answer is zero chance. They don't even need a fancy excuse: "Oh, since the US gave up on us and Iran owns the SoH, it's not safe. We have to cut production. Sorry!"
Within months, the US would be begging to come back. It’s just pushing the Middle East into an even bigger pit of fire.
Thanks for listening to my TED Talk :)
