Outstanding work by Paul Swinney on why the Manchester economic boom is probably just a series of data errors aligning. economicsobservatory.com/have-the-uks-n…

And the long-term effect of this is permanent decline

This is why people between 21-28 don't wanna excel too far in their careers they have to work within a ceiling its so depressing...

Banning this platform will only push even more people to the right. The left needs to learn that it has to win arguments, not shut them down.

🚨BREAKING: The UK Government is working with Canada and Australia to launch a coordinated ban on X [@Telegraph]

Responses to this demonstrate why the UK has become Crab Bucket Island.
To all the idiots hating on this couple: they're the ones whose taxes pay for everything you want. They could easily earn more in the US. Bear that in mind.

🗣️ 'We felt we had done everything right in life' Max Griffiths and wife Nicole – both work in the tech sector on salaries of £125,000 and around £100,000 respectively – have fallen victim to the cliff-edge tax that's forcing middle-class families to take desperate measures.

The lack of empathy for people like this is exactly why this country will never recover

She hasn’t regressed , coco just grew up and they play near enough the same tennis imo. It’s like Iga is playing herself , they even lift that stupid left leg of their when they go to hit a forehand. Until Iga accepts it, she won’t beat coco

idk who needs to hear this but swiatek's recent losses vs gauff are more an indicator of swiatek's wrongdoings and regression in the last 2 seasons than of gauff's actual improvements

What’s even crazier is the masters 1000 tournament before this one, it was 7 of the top 8 players in the world in the quarter finals.. followed by the next masters having the big 4 in the semis.. and people wonder why we talk about the greatest years of tennis over today’s tennis

Throwback to when THIS was the quarter-final lineup at the Rogers Cup in Montreal 😮💨🇨🇦 Andy Murray came out victorious, beating Juan Martín Del Potro in the final 🏆

@JayCee1911 @HanlonWalsh No it wouldn't. People go to the laver cup to see top singles players playing doubles.
English
@HanlonWalsh I’ve long thought that the Laver Cup should add a high profile doubles team to their rosters. Let’s go back a few years. Could you imagine Cabal & Farah (Colombian team) playing Nadal & Federer?! That would have been flat out FUN.
English
This United Cup has been a breakout event for doubles specialists showing their value in the team format.
Even on a stacked singles team like Poland, they’ve relied on their dubs team of Kawa & Zielinski to come up big in clutch moments.
Today it paid off with a deciding win over Team USA.

In 24 hours John Swinney has supported the illegal seizure of a Russian ship by Trump,
and pledged Scottish troops to support Zelensky's corrupt Nazi friendly regime.
I do not believe any significant proportion of Independence supporters agree with him.

The state is incompetent and the government is deeply socialist. Our institutions of policy-making and justice do not work in the interests of citizens. Something has to change, soon.

Sometimes I feel almost personally targeted by the government. I own an EV, and they’ve decided to introduce a mileage tax to punish me for that. I run my blog as a sole trader; they are forcing much more onerous reporting through “make tax digital” which also means I have to pay for tax software. My eldest started secondary school in September; we put him in a fee paying school (a struggle on our income) and they cynically whacked an extra 20% tax on fees. Our savings won’t stretch as far now. They continue to run an inflationary policy, throwing money at the undeserving to buy their votes, which drags more of my income into the higher band and thus increase my taxes despite the promise not to. Now they threaten to ban X, which is both my major news source and an additional income which helps a bit in these strained times. I have done everything right. I got a good education, I worked hard, raised a family - and I feel as if I am being punished for it. Everything they do is almost calculated to make me miserable and my life harder.

Expect more of this racist nonsense every time an independent Muslim challenges a sitting Labour MP.
It is a standard trick of the Labour right to present all criticism and disagreement as sinister and threatening.

🚨SHOCKING. Former Labour Blackburn MP Kate Hollern speaking about the ‘toxic’ general election campaign where she lost to Gaza thug Adnan Hussain MP. "At one point, I was told I was going to be beheaded. At another point, I was told I worshipped a false god. When someone tells you, 'You are going to be beheaded', and you see a picture of yourself on social media covered in blood, of course it worries you."🧵1/

I think less than 1% of people actually can comprehend how bad things are in the UK and much of the West. Truly the fall of Rome, unless things change fast.

I’ve received some questions about what we mean, in our National Security Strategy, when we invoke “civilizational” concerns. So I’m tweeting a relevant news item.

@CleDemocrat @axiochrono @LeftieStats A lot of you continue to defend the West despite them having more blood on their hands than most dictatorial regimes simply because you don’t think brown and black lives matter all that much so you’re not so different that way.

💯 this. The broad left must stand firmly against the British state's colonial project to topple the Iranian government. We must fight for a free and independent Iran that determines its leadership internally, and stand opposed to any efforts at regime change. Lift the sanctions!
Tom Gann@Tom_Gann
The most significant thing anyone in Britain can do for the people of Iran is struggle against sanctions & more widely against imperialist designs on Iran. The main enemy is at home.

During the genocide, the Scottish govt under Humza Yousaf banned the Israeli Air Force from using Glasgow Prestwick airport
They now need to ban the US Air Force from using Scottish airports
Otherwise, they will remain complicit in Trump's grave violations of international law

The problem is tennis doesn’t have a “season”. If your season lasts 47 of the 52 weeks in a year it’s just a continuous slog

So many tennis players with wrapped up limbs we are two weeks into the season
