@BestForBritain Also a Tory saying Labour is wasting too much taxpayer cash?! Would be funny if we weren't having to live with their economic mismanagement.

@Wise Inclusive of all tax? (this is usually not the case with the US)

@SGriffin_Lab Its a good time for other countries to nab the talent from the US.

Safe to say that the US, despite having amazing scientific and clinical minds, will cease to be any sort of world example for public health should eejits like this get their way...🤦♂️🙄💔🤬

Craziest housing stat of the week: The state spends MORE today on housing than it did in 1976.
The key difference: we used to build council houses, now we spend it on subsidising private landlords.
Our housing system is completely broken.

@dontbrexitfixit @Nigel_Farage "All the plebs that voted for Reform are getting poorer (while I grift onwards and upwards, gaining wealth!)"
English
Yeah, Brexit saw to that, you vile, disgusting, dishonest, disingenuous, twatknacking oaf Farage @Nigel_Farage. You and your ilk profited while the country suffered and continues to do so.

@ZackPolanski @SadiqKhan I'm fully behind your sentiment, but I don't like banning things... We just need to regulate/tax them out of existence.

Good to see some action taken on private jets.
Maybe the chancellor could have a word with @SadiqKhan who's always looking to defend them.
The vital but simple next step whilst we're in a climate crisis:

@nicdunz @deedydas How formal was the Japanese? Because the more formal = the more vowels and less info. E.g. "Sorry" at most informal is "Gomen" (or maybe a grunt) at its most formal is "Gomenkudasaimasendeshita". It is fairly normal for the same person's language to have a wide range in one day.

APIs are political! With the new legislation in the US about financial APIs (pymnts.com/news/digital-b…) they are currently in the news cycle.
I wonder if @RestIsPolitics would like to talk about them?

@LouHaigh Hi Louise!
Just wanted to say a couple things:
1) You are already a million times better than any Transport Secretary the Tories could muster! Thank you!
2) Have you listened to this? open.spotify.com/episode/57lrSA…

How on earth did the Tories manage to blow £66bn on a 163 mile railway line between London and Manchester, anyway? Were they planning to use solid platinum tracks connected by diamond-encrusted 24-carat gold sleepers or was there a drink in it for somebody?

@mendiphuntsabs Lucky for them they weren't protesting about the environment, or they'd be in jail by now...

@GreenJennyJones Also how can something called "Gross Domestic Product" be a global measurement?

And the cost of not doing it is far far more.

The economic scale of net zero: “This transition involves staggering amounts of money. Governments and households worldwide need to put forward a total of $275 trillion between now and 2050, peaking in the near term at 8.8% of global gross domestic product.” ~ Bloomberg
English
@GreenJennyJones There's currently (well, as of June 2023) $2.3 trillion being spent on road construction just in Asia-Pacific. I think between now and 2050 it is likely that the total spend on new roads worldwide would at least equal $275 trillion. And they need to be maintained as well.

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

The PM's pledge to “cut red tape” is a tired cliché that often means harming environmental standards and workers’ rights. We’ve had fourteen years of successive Conservative governments promising to “cut red tape” - what do we have to show for it?
