@NotMyDing @N_A_S_T_T @DraperOr @Alan_Couzens @hjluks I just resent the American assumption that we all know what they're babbling on about. Twinkies look disgusting.

More useful context on *the gap* from this recent paper 👇
(t.co/NnJoYxQHVj)
Maximal reduction in risk of death ☠️ comes at a VO2max of ~50ml/kg/min and 1100 min of activity/wk (HR of 0.3)
At WHO recommendations of 150min/wk and (typical 70yo) VO2 max of 25-30 ml/kg/min HR is ~0.8.
That is, a 20% risk reduction vs a 70% risk reduction!
And, this isn't "do you want the basic insurance or the upgraded insurance for your rental car?" type of question. This is death. Game over. Finito. No coming back.
Consider where you want to live on that heat map very carefully.

The gap between endurance athletes and public health recommendations is one of truth... We need to start treating adults like adults and giving them an honest appraisal of the sort of fitness 150min/wk leads to.... i.e. very very poor fitness. If you want the truth, look to the folks from your local 10K or half-marathon training 2.5 hrs/wk... Oh, that's right, there aren't any. Even the overweight, out-of-shape, folks who are walking by mile 3 are *still* putting in more than 2.5 hours of training per week. And they're in horrible shape. The lean, fit folks at the front of the event with the health and fitness that you seek... a lot more. It's time to get real. It's time to get truthful. It's time to stop the coddling... "I know you're too busy to actually exercise the amount you need to, so just try this amount instead." We're grown-ups. We can accept the truth.

@NoEducationTax @YuanfenYang @MattRodda @YuanfenYang can keep her faux sympathy to herself. She attended a private school on a scholarship & is blocking other children.
Meanwhile @MattRodda has deleted his paper highlighting why children shouldn’t be disrupted during their education. As he voted to disrupt children.

Tax on everything, including the holiday you saved up your taxed income for.
Remember when Labour said “The British public believe in fair play: that if you work hard, follow the rules and contribute, government should tread lightly on your life.”
That was a lie ‼️

Rachel Reeves has found a way to punish people for investing.
That is the absurdity at the heart of this reported ISA raid.
The Government says it wants savers to move away from cash and into stocks and shares.
Fine.
So imagine someone does exactly that.
They open a stocks and shares ISA.
They buy dividend-paying companies.
They build an income stream over years.
They receive dividends into the ISA.
They wait patiently for the right valuation before reinvesting.
That is not tax avoidance.
That is investing.
Serious income investors do not instantly throw every dividend back into the market the second it lands.
They wait.
They compare opportunities.
They build cash.
They look for weakness. They reinvest when the price is attractive.
That is discipline.
Now Reeves reportedly wants a 22pc charge on interest earned from cash held inside a stocks and shares ISA, under “anti-circumvention” rules.
In other words, the Government tells you to invest, then treats the natural cash management process inside investing as suspicious.
It is economically illiterate.
Cash inside a stocks and shares ISA is not necessarily someone “dodging” a cash ISA cap.
It can be dividend income waiting to be redeployed.
It can be proceeds from a sale waiting for a better entry point.
It can be dry powder before results season, a correction, a rights issue, or a market panic.
That is how actual investors behave.
But Labour sees a cash balance and assumes it must be punished.
This is the problem with politicians designing tax rules around headlines rather than reality.
They do not understand investing.
They understand optics.
They want to say they are pushing Britain into equities.
But the policy says something else: invest, receive income, manage risk, wait for value, and we may still come after you.
That is not pro-investment.
That is anti-investor.

Today I recall my colleague Andy Senior rushing across to Manchester because his wife and two daughters had just been blown up by a terrorist bomber. They were in three different hospitals. Gladly everyone survived but I do think we should be more angry about why this happened.

In terms of economic/cultural resonance & political communication this is streets ahead of anything being produced by Labour or the Tories. It helps Farage actually likes ordinary people whilst not pretending to someone who he isn't.
