I'm going to pin this one to see how it ages. @GerberKawasaki #TSLA

@thepazza71 @CartwrightEssex You are correct but I'm surprised how many people do not know about Restore. The picture may change when Restore become more known.

@CartwrightEssex What a load of rubbish, my sister lives in Orrel, she said almost every person she knows supports Reform. She works in a supermarket in Pemberton and said it's the same there!

Restore Britain has a significant membership in Makerfield. They will be out campaigning in the coming weeks. I have spoken to many patriots who intend to head there and canvass. Great Yarmouth was the blueprint, and we can repeat it in Makerfield. Restore Britain is inevitable 🇬🇧

@SawyerMerritt Translation: Honda won't be around in 2040.

Honda says it has abandoned its plan to go fully electric by 2040. CEO: "It's not realistic. We have withdrawn this target. We have judged that it’ll be difficult to achieve."

@litteralyme0 @SpaceX maybe but not @NASA. They are still a decade away from trying to land rockets or catch boosters.

@DouglasCarswell On that I think we can both agree 👍

@GiggleWattzz Sounds like a lot of regulation to me.

There is literally a government agency to stop you

Cobblers. Think you’ve just proved you’ve not used any of those statutory authorities. The bodies you mention are tasked solely with technical compliance in areas such as building safety, fire protection, energy efficiency and accessibility under building regulations, and they hold no authority over the stylistic or aesthetic decisions that shape a building's external appearance. That responsibility lies with local planning authorities who assess proposals against the National Planning Policy Framework and local design guidance, which often support traditional architectural approaches that respond to site context and heritage. Many new residential projects adopting classic elements such as brick elevations, pitched roofs and timber windows successfully gain consent, demonstrating that regulatory frameworks do not prohibit these design choices. Instead the limited uptake in mainstream residential development arises mainly from viability issues, higher build costs for traditional work and a lack of specialised skills in the construction sector. In my experience as an ARB and RIBA registered architect I routinely secure approvals for schemes that blend traditional motifs with contemporary needs, confirming that the systems support thoughtful design solutions respecting local character.

England (public bodies only): - Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG): Issues the Building Regulations and Approved Documents (technical guidance). - Building Safety Regulator (BSR): Mandatory building control authority for higher-risk buildings (e.g., new residential buildings ≥18m / 7 storeys with multiple dwellings, plus certain care homes/hospitals). Handles Gateway approvals and enforcement. - Local authorities (council building control departments): Primary public building control bodies for all other new builds. Review plans, inspect work, and issue completion certificates.

@aswren Standish is the only blue Tory ward seen in the 2023 map shown here. It went Reform this week. It had until recently an asylum seeker hotel and another was to be forced upon it which trigger localised protests. If Nandy really said that she is clueless.

I have an ex from Wigan & spent some time there. I remember once I was in a pub (in Standish) & nandy came on TV, she was talking about how Wigan welcoming asylum seekers could really put it on the map & a man shouted ‘we don’t want to be on the bloody map’

@_leowww @bo66ie29 aint that the truth!

@bo66ie29 architects don’t really design homes, ~95% of homes are just done by developers

Dear Architects, what’s preventing you from designing new builds that look like this?

Architect here. Not true. Planning via the NPPF would actively promote building like the example image. Building Regulations have no impact on aesthetic design or quality. The answer, sadly, is cost and market affordability. The underlying issue is land high value and legislative costs.

@bo66ie29 Building regulations and local planning guidelines . Sad isn’t it.

Architect here. One word, COST. To build to the beautiful standard you present would be minimum 50% more than the standard Redrow build to. That is unaffordable for purchasers with our land values. The necessity for 20%+ affordable homes per site, which loose money, pushes up the price of the remaining houses even further meaning quality has to be even lower still to chase market affordability.

@JOBhakdi In the UK, Reform is considered mid-far right and Restore is the most far right party I have even seen in my life. Restore want to deport all illegals and have a referendum on bringing back the death penalty. Polices which Reform have distanced themselves from. Below is near me:

lol I know, but I would push back that Reform is on the right. Reform is a center-left party. Restore is center-right. That's why they would make a reasonably good coalition.

@JOBhakdi Yep, just yesterday I was running some challenging loop-hole questions on UK Building Regulations on Gemini and Grok. Gemini said 'oh you can't do that, that's illegal.' Grok said, 'actually nothing prevents you form doing that, you're fine. Just do this.' Grok was correct.

I never use Gemini . But when I do, I am blown away how retarded it is.

@DaveShapi The UK is having having a semi-MAGA episode in our local council elections. Illegal immigration and disenchantment with the historical two main parties has handed Reform, the new comer, and unprecedented increase in the numebr of local council seats it's just won.

@alex_avoigt Space X will be at a premium at IPO, I'll wait. Space X will make an offer for my $TSLA shares with a small premium based on 50% didlution both circa 1.5bn market cap. I get diluted 50% but I pick up the same in Space X. So I get best of both worlds and pay no capital gains tax.

Oh boy, you make a huge mistake in believing this! It doesn't matter how many Tesla retail investors sell a portion of their Tesla shares to buy SpaceX shares for the Tesla stock development in 2026. Not at all! What matters is that Tesla stock $tsla is already extremely cheap given its earnings prospects today, and Wall Street capital always flows where an opportunity is. Even if many Tesla retail investors sell their shares or even all which won't happen, it won't affect the price of Tesla stock as the volume is tiny compared to the market might of the whales with deep pockets and ability to trade the stock at times Retail investors can't because of regulations. We may even see the opposite, that despite Retail investors sell Tesla stock to buy SpaceX the Tesla stock rallies. Most Retail investors have no clue how little influence all Tesla retail shareholders have despite they are many, its just not a volume with influence. $tsla

@ThrillaRilla369 @MmisterNobody The result of two world wars in close succession. Technology probably never advanced quicker in human history.

@MmisterNobody We went from this to this in 66 years

This makes no sense at all...

@MmisterNobody Yes it does. Industrial Revolution followed by two world wars. Technology advanced in 200 years more than the prior 1000 years.

THIS is an encapsulation of why near 100% of legacy ICE/EV will go bankrupt or be acquired by China OEM's before the end of this decade. I despair at them 🙄 #honda #toyota #nissan #vw

@Viralfizz Now wait a few years for his rafters to start rotting due to interstitial condensation in the cooler months, trapped between the rafter and the foam which can now not dry out. Unless you install a vapour barrier to the inner face this will happen. Major issue here in the uk.

I Saved $1800 Insulating My Attic Myself! I tried Beest Spray Foam Insulation instead easy to use, fast-drying, and ZERO mess.

That's easy to say when you're sitting on millions of dollars and can safely watch this play out. Jack Dorsey just laid off 40% of his staff in one go due to AI, there will be thousands more Dorsey style mass lay offs in the coming years. The affected people do not have the luxury of being able to wait for 'new roles' to materialise, they need new roles in weeks or months to pay their mortgages. I find it hard to believe that 'new roles' will appear in suffient quantity, or in time, to save the millions of people who are going to be displaced at the rate required. As AI becomes parabolicly more competent with every passing month I find it hard to envisage a world where 'new roles' can remotely keep pace with the AI displacement rate.

The AI Panic Is Getting Ridiculous 🤦‍♂️

@AndyCigars @JeremyClarkson @MrJamesMay Which had a Spitfire engine from P-51B onwards

@JeremyClarkson @MrJamesMay Gents, please stand while the King enters this convo 🇺🇸

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the Supermarine Spitfire being less important than the Hawker Hurricane in winning the Battle of Britain and securing humanity’s future. Repeat please.
