@DMiliband Of fucking course part of the solution is faceless NGOs needing billions of our taxes 🙄

First, the outbreak is spreading faster than the response. Second, conflict and displacement are accelerating the risk of regional spread. And third, severe global aid cuts have weakened frontline health systems and outbreak preparedness across eastern DRC.

Right now, there are three warning signs that this Ebola outbreak could be particularly difficult to contain:

@trevgoes4th My SIM card "conspiracy" was 9 months ahead of this...

When you realise that the Yookay population is understated by 10%, the official stats then match what your eyes tell you

@musidorus @trevgoes4th That they are not offering that up tells you all you need to know about Reform.

@trevgoes4th Yes but this is a stupid tax cut because the definition of overtime will be gamed. Better just to reduce income tax.

Reminder You do not "spend money on tax cuts" It's not their fucking money, it belongs to the person who earned it The state spends money on welfare and client groups jobs programmes

@LoftusSteve So 4.5bn stayed in the real economy and wasnt wasted by a useless government on guff...got it

France did this in 2007 in almost exactly the same way. It cost €4.5b a year in lost revenue for no gain. No more hours were worked, people just shifted their work to game the system. It did nothing but give people more take home pay and it ended in 2012. But if you want to give people more take home pay there are a dozen easier way to do it.

This is the chef's kiss of Reform policy ideas. The perfect example of public appeal vs retarded policy. Which is really what Reform is all about. There are so many ways this would will be abused or backfire so I will list them all. 1. I said last night, company directors/owners will suddenly be earning 60 hours weeks every week (but not really). 2. Employee collusion - Business convert salaried roles to lower rate hourly pay, but pays fake "overtime". The employee gets more take home pay but the employer's payroll costs reduce. 3. Diversion - Many jobs don't pay overtime. Teachers for example. If they did, we'd be bankrupt. Why go into teaching on £35k a year when you could earn that on less hours with overtime elsewhere? Efficiently run company don't have overtime opportunities at all, making them less attractive than those that do. 4. Unfair advantage - Let's say your a small landscaping company employing 5 guys by gaming the system above. You have an unfair advantage over the bigger company playing by the rules. Jobs will be lost as smaller, less scrupulous companies gain advantage over those that play by the rules. 5. It shrinks the job market - Offering overtime becomes a recruitment advantage. In which case employing 5 people to do a job with overtime is better than employing 6 with none. 6. It can shrink productivity - It's now in your interest to stretch your workload over more hours or game the system. Which means more hours worked for the same production. 7. If you think the answer is that there will be increased compliance enforcement and auditing from an already overwhelmed HMRC when Reform want to cut the civil service I'm afraid you're mistaken.

@MMGOLFSTUDIOS I cant wait for the rollback, and having to hit 190 yard shots into every par 4...it will be such an enjoyable, life affirming experience, especially when that 190 becomes 205 during the English winter mud ball season.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me… “distance is a golf problem” Find me ONE person who wouldn’t take an extra 15 yards off the tee today The most popular training aids are speed training aids. Golf marketing has been about distance for 30+ years. But people hit it too far?

@ChrisJSopiarz @LouStagner Yep, rules creating, committee based organisations attract a certain type.

@LouStagner This is a society wide problem where there are not impressive people in these positions

This is a remarkable exchange between the USGA's John Spitzer and Dr. Sasho Mackenzie. Spitzer is the USGA's head of equipment standards. Watching this, it's hard to come away thinking he understands what Sasho is saying. Pair that with the recent news that Cameron Young is already playing a rolled-back ball in competition, and you can draw your own conclusions about the scientific rigor behind the USGA's approach to the rollback. Video should start at 19:05. Watch through 23:36 for Sasho's priceless reaction. youtube.com/watch?v=zNvjFu…

@Farm_Fields204 @LouStagner He gave a boomer "hmmph" in the background when Sasho mentioned SG 🤣

@LouStagner This is incredible to watch. How does John not get the point that if they use a rolled-back ball players will look to increase their swing speed to gain back the distance they are losing I love when Sasho mentioned Stokes Gained... I thought John's head was going to explode 😂😂

@Keir_Starmer Apart from needing a tv license you dopey twat.

Football should bring people together, not shut them out. For the first time since the competition began, fans won’t be able to watch the Champions League final for free. That’s not right. This is bigger than wanting to watch Arsenal in this historic final. It’s bigger than one club. Hardworking people shouldn’t have to fork out for a subscription to watch this match. I urge TNT Sports to reconsider and make the final next Saturday free to watch.

@trevgoes4th Its going to be awkward when the doped cyclists get nowhere near the WR 🤣

All over this in the morning

@KrisMootoo @piersmorgan @_DeclanRice But Rice passed it sideways loads to CBs after dropping 20 yards back to get the ball...and his aura farming was first class.

@piersmorgan @_DeclanRice Piers is a perfect example why nobody likes Arsenal fans.

Ridiculous… @_DeclanRice should have won this. Absolute travesty that someone whose team never once competed for the Title wins over a guy whose brilliance all season led us to the Title.

@trevgoes4th 30 years of absolutely wasted...

The whole basis of mass migration was that they would be higher earners AND less likely to be unemployed than natives The entire basis was false Full factory reset to 1997

@DuxVul Well when he becomes PM at least there is already a cuck chair installed at No.10 by Starmer...will save some taxpayers money on the refurb.

In case anyone doesn’t know Burnham let his wife go on blind date He is a cuckold

@CharlotteCGill And i thought telling people I'm an accountant was a conversation killer...

Things the taxpayer is currently funding: includes £342,074 towards "Multilingual Dynamic Assessment for Language and Content learning: Addressing Sociolinguistic Diversity in India's Primary schools"

@trevgoes4th As Patton said...they should of let him roll through Berlin to finish the job

Truest thing on X today

@trevgoes4th Worse thing was tearing down the berlin wall...should of left the communist scum to starve.

Did more damage than Hitler

@Nesil_Caliskan So so so clueless...

Labour’s Great British Summer Savings☀️ ✅ Cutting VAT on activities for kids, inc. attractions, cinemas & soft play & meals ✅ Families in #Barking & Dagenham will benefit

@trevgoes4th Needs to go to a League 2 side, and accomplish things with no budget for me to truly class him as a great.

Ruined football inadvertedly But the battles with Liverpool were peak football IMO

@VinnieSull1van @Lost___London @BygoneBritain I trapped my thumb in one of those trying to close it from the inside...I can testify that they were very heavy, which most likely saved my thumb from being cut off 😂

Charming footage of Fenchurch Street Station during the days that "slam-door" trains were still around. Many today will still remember using these old vintage carriages and their manually operated, outward-opening, hinged doors that they had to open and shut themselves. Due to obvious safety hazards, be they on platforms or on the move, they were largely phased out by November 2005. The final heritage branch line service running between Lymington and Brockenhurst in Hampshire ran until May 2010. If one had been stood on the platform, you'd better remember to stand back. I'll also note how presentable the trains and commuters are in this footage. They seem to compliment each other. 🚂⏳

@trevgoes4th @cmcalister5 @SaladBarFan The members who loved the game so much...until they got a sniff of money

@cmcalister5 @Nick_Kay @SaladBarFan but who sold it to them?

“Private Equity works by buying a company, loading it up with debt, then selling it and making money” What do people mean by this? Do they think future buyers won’t be able to see this debt on the balance sheet and accidentally overbid for the company?
