The people responsible for what you so smugly call "the European bottle cap" (as if this is some noble piece of cultural heritage) ought to be arrested and hanged- they are clearly insane misanthropes who need to be put out of their- and our- misery before they think of something else to inflict on us

Horrible snide little remark gloating over another person's completely needless inconvenience all on behalf of the most pointlessly hostile and infantilising design regulation ever conceived of- go fuck yourself eat shit

@Treelinius I can tell you're an avid fan. Keep sending him money for those predictions

@bantros @cjsnowdon Because he has been. And he isn't wrong. You cannot keep enriching the wealthy at the expense of everyone and everything else in society & expect that society to function.

Some have questioned his business acumen but Gary Stevenson makes at least £127,260 a year from complaining about inequality on his Patreon. 👌

And @garyseconomics comes out for Greens 👀

@FraserNelson Ok mate

Another significant evolution in Reform's style of politics. Its proposed internment camps will only be built in parts of the country that vote for its rivals. This is a new departure for UK politics: rejecting the idea of PM-for-all and instead a new partisan style.

@Sargon_of_Akkad That's democracy in a nutshell and it's already hurting people. Not that I agree with this policy but what do you think they are going to do to you and anyone right of centre if the Greens gain power, or Starmer gets replaced with a progressive lunatic?

I shouldn't really have to explain this, but none of the children that the illegals will rape will have voted for it. Moreover, the Greens will probably win on about 35%-40% on a sub-50% turnout. This kind of irresponsible slopulism will hurt people who didn't ask for it.

@nocontextEFC What do you think happens to the price of a pint if the Green Party gets in and increases the minimum wage to £15/ph

Pints are £10 but we’re telling people £15 minimum wage would be too high?

@Sargon_of_Akkad How is it "punishment" if they voted for the Green Party with their open border policies and everything that entails?

It should really go without saying that punitive partisan policies that target sections of the electorate for voting in the "wrong" way is distinctly un-British and, frankly, shameful. Threatening sections of the electorate with punishment, in the form of placing dangerous migrant camps in their midst, might seem like a clever strategy on the surface, but it attacks something foundational concealed beneath our politics and is deeply unwise. We are a nation and, as Edmund Burke argued, have shared national interests that go beyond our provincial concerns. These interests go beyond the mere material. The unspoken assumption of Britain is that, despite any political divides, we are British and therefore will treat one another in a manner that recognises the fundamental legitimacy of the other person and their claim to a decent life. Regardless of disputes, they ought to be able to go about their day comfortably and safe in the knowledge that this is their country and they belong to it. This is the psychic fabric that itself has been damaged by mass immigration: bringing in millions of people from countries who do not have this special attitude is what brings about the intangible feeling of unease that causes "white flight". It's why the country feels less safe, whether or not it actually is, and why people wish to live among people like themselves. The world becomes predictable and you can feel at your ease that tomorrow will be like today, and today will be like yesterday. Carving up areas of the country into ideological chunks that can be dealt a cruel hand because of their voting record is the hard edge of politics that we really must avoid. Ideology turns countrymen into enemies, brother against brother, over ephermeral abstractions that have devastating and permanent consequences. The ideological politics of the Blair era is what brought these problems to our doors in the first place. It was understood by them that "rubbing the right's nose in diversity" was a punishment, to be weaponised against their enemies. The logical conclusion of this was Zack Polanski's building a society without the right entirely. The Green-voting areas targeted by Reform are well-to-do white areas of the country, who have not yet had to live with the consequences of their politics. This is the axel around which the emotional impact of the policy hinges, and reveals the horror of what Reform plan to do. Yes, they're stupid, but they are going to be like babes in the woods in the face of it. Reform have taken up the destructive politics of ideology from the other direction, and if we look at what it has brought into existence without the mystifying lens of political ideology, it seems monstrous. In concrete terms, what we are seeing is a Muslim man who is threatening British men, women, and children with the rapes and murders caused by unvetted illegals co-religionists in order to gain political power. Why should we think he would stop there? Such behaviour ought not to be rewarded. This kind of ideological politics is completely alien to British life, and very foreign way of approaching the political dispensation of the country. It is a direct attack on the psychic fabric of the nation and renders us into two opposed and irreconcilable camps, where the human feeling that bound us together is severed. It also solidifies the control that ideology has over both sides: once one is attacked by the other, the victim will feel obliged to respond in kind. We must rise above this kind of politics before it destroys the precious metaphysical inheritence of the nation and forever drags us down into a place from which we cannot escape.

@Isa_Smooch Retard

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Haha, you lot are insane. Oh no, young women want an end to massive wealth disparity, oppose genocide and care about the environment! Monsters.

Whilst everyone was focusing on the manosphere and watching Adolescence, nobody has considered the radicalisation of young women, which appears numerically to be a far greater problem.

@ouroborus73 Wow, what a revelation!

@PeterMcCormack And yet he correctly identified how Covid money printing was a major cause of the asset price inflation we have seen since..

Incentives matter. Gary admitted on Pier’s Morgan that he made around £2m as a trader. This may seem like a lot of money, but it’s not retirement money on the lifestyle he will maintain. Gary needs to sell books and awareness. He’s spotted a vulnerability with a particular group so he sells emotional based economics. It isn’t actually economics, it’s whinging and victim culture. His answers come down to socialism, but socialism harms the people he claims to want to help. Gary is wrong. Don’t be a Gary.

@motsdemaelys You sound fun

honestly i'm this close to quitting reading for good. every single author i actually love turns out to be problematic or worse. i'm so tired of finding out after i already got attached. feels like i can't enjoy anything anymore without a background check first

@SirSimonClarke @ActualJC Given the Green Party advocates for "open borders" and their voter base is typically in favour of such policies, why would you consider it a "punishment"?

@ActualJC No. Read my tweet. I am saying that using their placement as an act of politicised collective punishment is illogical and very likely illegal. So nobody will be detained and millions will be wasted in court.

We need to stop illegal immigration, but this is abhorrent from Reform. Zia is proposing the siting of detention centres expressly as a form of political punishment for people and places that don’t vote Reform - not just Green, but presumably Conservative, Liberal and Labour too. (And what about Reform voters in those constituencies?) It would almost certainly be deemed an abuse of ministerial power for political purposes, and as such would likely be stuck down in court before ever being implemented, wasting millions for the taxpayer without detaining anyone. If it were to go ahead, it would still represent an appalling waste of public money as these sites might well not be in any way suitable for the proposed centres, or near the other infrastructure required. What’s worse is that he is doing all this to provoke outrage and draw attention to Reform a few days out from the local elections. Reform know what they are doing. But this goes beyond a pre-election stunt. It’s declared as a major policy commitment, and should be treated as such. We need a proper plan to leave the ECHR and restore safe border controls, not gimmicks that wouldn’t survive first contact with reality.

@GuineaPiginUK 600k is the amount of people claiming more benefits than the average person earns after tax, not the total amount of people on benefits

@NeilDotObrien UK Population is roughly 69 million people so 600,000 is a drop in the Ocean or very, very small amount of individuals.

Today's Telegraph reports on some of my research about the growth of really large welfare claims - with over 600k households now getting more in benefits than the average person takes home after tax. Quick thread: (1/10)

@PeterMcCormack Cue incoherent socialist whining, not sure why you bother

Inflation is a tax on the poor and a subsidy to the rich. A party which refuses to deal with inflation, hates the poor and loves the rich. Guess what happens in every socialist state - high inflation. Socialists hate the poor.

@kkolozova Wrong. The more wealthy and gender equal a country the larger the gender gap in people's preferences as they choose according to want rather than need

Larry H Summers was wrong - and the outraged women in the audience overreacted, but their reasoning was not wrong - because, look at the data: in Iran, 70% of the students in STEM are women. They excel internationally. So, "more women in STEM" is indeed a question of policy, and not even necessarily a feminist one. Both Summers and his critics think in terms of cultural-gendered identity. It is not a question of identity in the case of Iran (also Saudi Arabia). It is a structural issue, tackled through structural measures.

@SkyNews Anyway

BREAKING: Two women die while trying to cross Channel in small boat news.sky.com/story/two-wome…

@_alice_evans It's a real mystery

Britain is one of the most gender equal countries in the world, but with a huge increase in sexual assault The Government, with data access, should investigate the drivers of this shift, Eg. MeToo proclivity to report, new offence categories, rising proclivity for violence?

@ZackPolanski Why only £15/ph Zack, are they not worth £16/ph in your view?

The Mail doesn't think seem to think workers, of all ages, are worth £15 an hour. That's fair pay for a fair day's work, with money workers will put back into the economy. We are the party for workers. Vote Green on 7th May.

@PoliticsJOE_UK What a retard, perfect example of your typical MP representative in YooKay 2026

“A lot of this sort of highfalutin economic stuff. It's basically all made up nonsense. “Labour imposed fiscal rules on themselves." MP Sorcha Eastwood says Labour’s budgets are nonsense.

@ejwwest You clearly don't know what free speech means or entails

@KemiBadenoch I see you have the self styled champion of free speech to your right. Why does he do this, then? @toadmeister

Graham Linehan should never have been dragged through the courts in the first place. The real scandal is a system that wastes time on litigious nonsense driven by professional activists while serious crime goes unpunished. We need to kill cancel culture. Free speech cannot survive if the process becomes the punishment. This is why I asked Toby Young to review the laws that are stifling free speech so the next Conservative government can put an end to this wasting of our resources.
