The UK borrowed another £24.3 billion in April, above the £20.9 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility.  The ONS said the debt interest bill rose to £10.3 billion last month – the highest on record for April, which marks the start of the new financial year. The government is paying more than £100 billion a year to service its debts. Yet a cacophony of Labour and Green pols think we should borrow even more.

@Tyler7Smith @olibroom It’s his injury record that’s the real concern. Not worth high wages imo.

Very little surprise for me here. Macey will split opinion Given a top 3 earner, I think you can get someone to a similar standard, for around half the price. With wages being used elsewhere Payne, Anderson & Bishop is great news💪 Make a few ‘in discussions’ perm! #colu x.com/colu_official/…

Ben Habib is singing like a canary. He’s claiming that Christopher Harborne gave £1M each to Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage to help Boris get elected & persuade Nigel to stand down in 2019. He’s also claiming that he gave £14M to the Brexit Party & tried to break electoral law.

Highlights of the Zack Polanski tax case: - Dan Neidle admits boat tax is complicated and that not a single resident in the Marina got it right - Upon being made aware Zack apologised and paid his tax Can we move onto Farage now?

One from the archives. Lab MP @lukejcr last year defending welfare changes that would have meant people who can't use the toilet on their own & who can't dress themselves wouldn't qualify for PIP Careful if you retweet it. When I posted it he blocked me.

@PeterMcCormack It’s capitalism that’s running down your cafe. Potential customers can’t afford to patronise you as they don’t earn enough.

Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪
A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

The Greens will raise the minimum wage to £15 for all workers 💪

🚨 BREAKING: Zarah Sultana uses parliamentary privilege to bypass court reporting restrictions and expose details of the Filton 24 re-trial. UK media has been banned from reporting key information. Zarah Sultana: “If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that.” An MP going into Parliament to reveal what the press legally can’t report is rare - and explosive. This raises serious questions about transparency, justice, and what juries are - and aren’t - being told.

Guess who was the Cabinet Minister tasked with solving the welfare bill, and who designed the hopelessly inadequate Universal Credit system… Ian Smith. Note the name-spelling before he changed his name to seem more posh. A fraud — professionally and politically.
Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green@MPIainDS

None of Britain’s problems can be fixed until we tackle the welfare bill. The US attack on Iran has revealed the frailty of the British state, with the public finances crumbling, energy insecure and our defences weak. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/0… Analysis by the Centre for Social Justice @csjthinktank shows that an economically inactive claimant topping up benefits with health and housing add-ons can receive the equivalent of a pre-tax salary of more than £30,000. There are over six million full-time workers – around one in four – whose earnings are lower. This is not sustainable or fair. The answer is a return to a welfare system that restores the principle that work must always pay. Universal Credit gives ministers the tools, costing billions less than if we’d kept the old system, according to the Resolution Foundation. This war has cast the country’s parlous state into sharp relief. Reforming welfare is the first step on the road to rebuilding our national foundations. Yet the alternative is dire – with threats to our freedoms in a dangerous world, Britain simply cannot afford huge welfare bills, followed by more borrowing, higher taxes, wasted potential and weak defence.

@Handre Cuba’s average wage is still $30 as it has no inflation.

Handre@Handre·
Socialism dies the moment you understand basic economics. Every socialist experiment—from the Soviet Union's 66 million deaths to Venezuela's 2,000% inflation—fails because central planners cannot calculate prices without markets. Ludwig von Mises proved this in 1920: without private property and voluntary exchange, rational economic calculation becomes impossible. You cannot allocate scarce resources efficiently when bureaucrats replace market signals. Cuba's average monthly wage remains $30 while North Koreans starve. Meanwhile, Hong Kong transformed from fishing village to financial powerhouse through free markets. Property rights create prosperity. Central planning creates poverty. The choice stays yours.

Spoken like someone who’s never actually had a job. The retarded children of slave owners are not “highly competent.” Elon musk is not “highly competent.” He is a leech consistently taking credit for the competence of better men. - had a rich daddy, who owned emerald mines and basically used slave labor - leeched off the brilliant man who had the idea for and created PayPal - leeched off the brilliant minds that created Tesla vehicles - leeches off the brilliant minds at SpaceX - leeches off of over 300 million Americans, whose tax dollars he receives He portrays himself as Tony stark but he’s a soft, silver spoon sucking vampire that would be homeless in the gutter without daddy’s money Capitalism always rewarded the biggest parasites, but at least back in the day there were exceptions. Now, there are none. It’s us vs them, and anyone peddling this nonsense at you just wants to empower the Epstein class.
Kelly@SelfMadeMastery

Capitalism rewards the highly competent. The incompetent want to end capitalism.

Ipswich Town is a special football club. They’ve got so many things right over the past five years and beyond. But they got this badly wrong - and now they should apologise. My thoughts ⬇️ #itfc eadt.co.uk/sport/25969817…
