Trevor Phillips just DESTROYED Zack Polanski on national TV.
This is the first time I've seen an interviewer PROPERLY hold an extreme, far-left politician to account.
In a normal world this would permanently end his political career. Utterly DAMNING for Polanski. 🔥

@mdsbfc @rawespresso Iphone 14, haven't been abroad in 4 years, go camping instead, never been to Glastonbury, don't drink anymore because what's the point it just bankrupts you and all the decent nightlife near me is gone. Stopped eating takeaways, just treat myself to one coffee. Living the life!

The U.S. government has to refund $166 billion in tariffs, PLUS interests.
Trump said he would be paying Americans checks from tariffs and eventually even replace the income tax.
So now not only are you not getting DOGE checks after he cancelled DOGE, you’re not getting tariff checks and paying the interests back on tariffs collected.
And you are also paying $2 billion a day for Trump and Netanyahu’s war in Iran.
And you are paying on avg $4 per gallon gas and inflation is rising again.
The lack of humility and understanding the struggle of regular Americans is astounding to me.
Trump and his lackeys demand loyalty and name call and bully yet Americans struggle more and more.

@DeeDee84276236 So you think If it wasn’t for all these immigrants we’d be raving?

I met my husband at a rave in 1992. We still have a playlist we love listening to at the weekend. Today we were chatting about how Gen X was probably the luckiest generation.
The 70s felt like the Wild West - hilarious telly, fashion and music, zero political correctness, and total freedom. I learned to ride my bike during that hot summer of ‘76.
The 80s were our teenage years, the best music, films and an incredible club scene.
The 90’s were absolute peak. The rave culture was something else entirely — you really did have to be there to understand how extraordinary it was. Britpop was incredible, bars and clubs were thriving everywhere, and it just felt like one long, brilliant party.
Not like now.

@trader1sz How long did it take you to get a comfortable system that worked? Did it just click one day through trial and error or did you have a professional mentor?
English
No regrets. Altho it has fucked up my health a lot
I use to scalp and day trade a lot
I rarely do that anymore
After years it just tires you and if I look at the stats…most my money is made by a handful of swing trades where I compound hard and ride a big trend leg
Rest been a grind and headache
TraderSZ@trader1sz
been 15 years ive been trading....wow time flies

@HustleBitch_ I blame capitalism for constantly making people feel like they aren’t enough and buying into the next useless health fad that people are selling

🚨 GUYS ARE SMASHING THEIR OWN FACES WITH HAMMERS TO “LOOKSMAXX” — DOCTORS ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THE CLAVICULAR TREND
A disturbing trend is spreading online:
Young men are deliberately hitting their cheekbones and jaws with hammers, pans, anything they can find, believing it will make them more “chiseled.”
It’s being pushed by influencer “Clavicular” (800K followers), who claims:
“When you break the bone, it grows back stronger.”
Doctors warn this can lead to:
• Permanent nerve damage
• Facial paralysis or numbness
• Brain injury + concussions
• In one case: a fracture behind the eye → blindness
Experts say this trend is fueling body dysmorphia among young men, driven by social media pressure and extreme “looksmaxing” culture.
Who do you blame more... the influencer or the people doing it?

@lady_valor_07 MAGA - she doesn’t look dead in the eyes so no

Netherlands just announced a new 120% wealth tax
It will apply to the ultra-rich who earn above €150k per year
So if you make €200k, you pay €60k on the €50k above the threshold
Dutch officials explained it is to "discourage wealth hoarding behaviour"
So beautifuly said
Finally someone in Europe has the moral spine to put an end this selfish accumulation of wealth
No human being should make over €150k a year
It is a vulgar and borderline pornographic amount
I hope more EU countries will adopt this progressive legislation
This is why Europe is, and always will be, light years ahead of America

@PPagedown2012 @Lauren_Chris @BrentAWilliams2 Most taxes are used to prop up a system that is failing because of low taxes
English
@Lauren_Chris @BrentAWilliams2 Ya, let's give them more tax breaks! It's certainly been working out ever since Reaganomics! Trickle down baby! Any day now we'll all be rich.
Some of the taxes are dumb, sure, but getting rid of loopholes and just raising the effective tax rate would go a long ways.
English
First they go after the rich.
Then they redefine what rich is.
Then they go after you.

@OliverCramon But how do you have a thriving economy if people don't have money to spend in it? No one has money to do anything or buy assets. How is that good for the economy?
English
Kapitalisme er det bedste system til at bekæmpe fattigdom, fordi der skabes værdi.
Omfordeling kan aldrig være en effektiv løsning, fordi det ikke skaber værdi, det omrokerer det bare.

@BaudanzaJoseph @PositivFuturist True, Neo-liberalism was the push back against social structures that were put in place after the war though. Just the newest system to maintain power at the top.
English
@NickDeleste99 @PositivFuturist They were the same before Neoliberalism too.
The state, in every civilization (all the way back to Sumaria) has worked to the benefit of the wealthy.
It's just wealth used to be tied strictly to heritage, landownership, and military power.
Now it's mega corps.

Why is defending billionaires "bootlicking" ?
The boot is a symbol of state/millitary power - how does that apply to successful individuals?
Wanting to tax them and hand everything to the state is bootlicking.

@DominicMcGregor Invasive species 🤣 You mean the 15 million people living in poverty? 5 million children? Growing number of people using food banks. or the fact that top 1% own more wealth than bottom 70%. Tell me who the invasive species is again?
English
@NickDeleste99 Woodland is flourishing.
Greens want to chop down all tree so that new invasion species can grow off the back of those fallen trees.
English
As a Green Party follower, you’ll be familiar with trees.
There are two ways to own the tallest tree in the forest.
You either nurture it, feed it, and give it everything it needs to grow.
Or you cut down every other tree around it so yours stands tallest by default.
One builds something.
The other just shrinks everyone else.
I’d rather grow the forest.
You’d rather take an axe to it.

Just to make it clear: There will never be a time when it’s morally justifiable to pay the CEO of Tesco £10million. Ever. If you can’t grasp that you’re actually just an incredibly shitty person.
English
Stop saying employers aren't paying enough that's why people need their wages topped up by Universal Credit.
If you need your wages topping up because you're a bit short every month, get a second job or cut back your expenditure.
It may have escaped your notice but businesses are going bust everywhere because of high energy costs, high business rates, minimum wage increases and higher employer's NI contributions.
Employers can't pay more. Take some responsibility people. Stop expecting the state to bail you out!
English
@DrewPavlou If minimum wage was £15 then it would be £150 an hour. That's like £300,000 a year
English
The British Green Party want to cap British CEO pay to like $100 an hour lol.
My highest ever Twitter payment was like $4000 over 14 days, which would have worked out to nearly $100 an hour just to post.
So British CEOs would be paid less than random Twitter shitposters under the British Green Party

🚨 NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski will call for policies to end the "affordability crisis" tomorrow - The introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio, whereby the highest-paid employee earns no more than ten times the lowest-paid - Free school meals for all primary and secondary pupils - Universal energy bill support for households and stronger rent controls - A customs union with the EU to cut business costs

@Asa97875363 @trwsenti What do you do if you don’t mind me asking?
English
@NickDeleste99 @trwsenti Tbf, I am 23. The average wage in this country is like £38k for ALL workers. A 23 year old is pretty young. So £30k for me alone is quite a fair amount in my opinion.
It will go up to £32k next month.
