@2147mill Main isn't a REIT!

Ever wanted to invest in property without buying a property? That's exactly what a REIT is. Real Estate Investment Trust. A company that owns income producing properties. Office buildings. Shopping centres. Warehouses. Hospitals. And pays you a share of the rent. I hold $MAIN which pays me monthly and I am going to keep buying more. You invest £1,000. They own the buildings. You collect the income. Examples: → Main Street Capital: US based. Lends to small businesses. ~6% yield. Monthly income. → British Land: Owns major UK retail and office spaces. FTSE 100 listed. → Segro: Owns warehouses and logistics across Europe. Dividend paying. → Primary Health Properties: Owns UK GP surgeries. Incredibly stable income. Another very popular one is Realty Income - ticker $O REITs by law must pay out 90% of taxable income as dividends. That's why the yields are so attractive. Property income. Without a mortgage. Without a boiler breaking down. Without a letting agent taking 10%. Had you heard of REITs before?

@TRobinsonNewEra You've started on the marching powder early, Tommy. Jeez 🙄

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come;thy will be done;on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation;but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.Amen. God bless all 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@asianmomriot @rosie_wrighting @wesstreeting All I wanted was a couple of years of boring, solid, governmenting. Nothing flashy, no drama, just work. Instead we have this soap opera.

@rosie_wrighting @wesstreeting Please can you get on with actual MP'ing rather than attempting social media punditry for clicks ❤️ This is one of the reasons why the Labour party is falling apart at the seams.

It’s been a pleasure to work with Wes as a PPS in the Health Department. He never shies away from the right principled decision, even in difficult times, and this letter shows no difference. Wes is a generational talent and it is with his leadership that we’ve seen the NHS on the road to recovery. The challenges that face our country are enormous. As an MP in my 20s, I feel that strongly. I know what it’s like to have living standards worse than our parents’, and I feel we owe my generation, and the one that comes after, everything. We must show that we can be better than this, that politics can change things for the good and offer people hope. Because if we don’t, we risk Reform UK and the divisive politics of Nigel Farage taking hold of this country. And it is only the Labour Party that can stop that from happening. We need a vision, an open debate of ideas about how we move forward from this moment, with the best field of candidates that our movement has.

We asked 100 people, "How many times can a lying, grifting cvnt, change his story over a £5M bung?" You said, "Small boats." 🐢💨

@jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @wesstreeting I have literally never heard of you

Deeply honoured to be appointed by the Prime Minister as Health & Social Care Secretary. Huge thanks to @RachelReevesMP for my time as part of her fantastic team. Can't wait to get started and continue @wesstreeting's brilliant work on such a critical mission for our country.

BAH GAWD THAT'S ANDY BURNHAMS MUSIC

Yep. It’s so unseemly.

Starmer reading Streeting's resignation letter

@AndyBurnhamGM Mate, you won't win it. This is a disaster unfolding in slow motion. Best PM we'll never have

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

Not a chance in hell that Burnham wins this seat at a by-election. Baffling

@craigbromf @ZiaYusufUK Little Zia is suffering from the worst case of "small man syndrome" that I've seen. All he can do is spread division. Farage will sack him off well before the election

Is there any chance you can ever just post a tweet without your ridiculously over aggressive, divisive, bullying personality rising to the fore? Enemy of the people, destruction, carpet bombing, invaders.... I could go on and on. Get a grip man, and stop destroying us based on your own hateful prejudice. 😡

Any party that instinctively goes into coalition with the Greens to prop up a Green administration is an enemy of the British people. That’s why the destruction of the Tory Party is a necessary precondition of the thriving of our country.

@SamCoatesSky @GNev2 Yes and ho!

So @GNev2 has been discussed inside Labour as a possible Andy Burnham replacement - but I'm told it is unclear if he's been approached - so just to ask on here - @GNev2 - any comment?

@asianmomriot @AmbJapanUK People forget that traders need access to DiXoNs!

@AmbJapanUK Glad to see you're making good use of the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre ❤️

Hello, Paddington of Norwich!!!🐻

@RobertJenrick Hi dodgy Bobby, have you taken any more cash from your mate Richard Desmond recently?

I couldn’t have put it better myself, Wes.

@asianmomriot @HerodotusWave How did the neighbours feel about it?

@HerodotusWave I've done some edging in my garden. It's great ❤️

Garden edging is made from ordinary bricks transformed into custom "book" shapes, painted to resemble spines of classic novels.

Told yesterday of a couple in their 80’s who went to their GP surgery to make an appointment to change her tablets as she has cancer. She was told she couldn’t have an appointment for several weeks. They sat in shock, then a woman who couldn’t speak much English came in to book and was given one the following day. The gentleman went to complain and was told they get paid £184 to give an appointment to the other lady. Shocking. 2-tier system.

@SalfordMe2023 Under Starmer's leadership the CPS undertook a number of deeply homophobic prosecutions of gay men for possession of perfectly legal pornography It's only due to the fantastic efforts of @MylesJackman that more gay men didn't face unjust jail time Starmer is a prissy homophobe

@HouseOfDouleur Tried that, ended up banned from Cineworld...

I highly recommend playing it on a projector whilst he’s locked in chastity.
