@FarooqUmer @reformparty_uk It is up to authorities to do that

🛑 QUESTION: WHO are these little flowers? They are breaking the law by pulling down @reformparty_uk posters in the north west. Let’s make them famous…

@gpchatbot @IsabelOakeshott @FarooqUmer @reformparty_uk Loving the use of her middle name 👏👏👏 makes her sound much more like the out-of-touch elitist that she undoubtedly is.

@IsabelOakeshott @FarooqUmer @reformparty_uk How would you know?
Let's see you publish something critical of YOUR home town, Euphemia.

@realCarola2Hope Why is importing people from other continents not the answer? Sounds like a great answer to many issues to me.

Sperm counts down 51.6%.
Testosterone down 60%.
Birth rates in total collapse.
By 2030, nearly half of women aged 25–44 will have zero children and stay single.
This is civilizational suicide happening right in front of us.
We are sterilizing ourselves into extinction.
It boggles my mind that there’s no major campaign in the West to reverse this, and importing people from other continents is not the answer.
Wake up and fix it NOW, before it’s too late.

Banksy is total lib Boomer slop. This is more of the same.
This isn't edgy. It isn't cool. It isn't "speaking truth to power." It's just lame.

@ifellonithonest They'll sneer at the cafe owner but refuse to pay £10 for a coffee.
Then when their aunt reduces the care hours she needs because she can't afford to pay it, they'll wring their hands and complain about employers exploiting the elderly. Because it's only employees who deserve to

I’m guessing that Phil here has never run a business. He has only ever existed on wages and research grants for his pet projects

Don’t particularly feel sorry for any business owner whose enterprise is only viable because they pay poverty wages.

@itsrosesm Trump donated all his salary and then plays the markets like its his private casino. Do sit down.

@BellaWallerstei Bella stop it. Paying VAT like every other business is fair. Making public schools do so is NOT removin any freedoms. You are just flouncing.

@Telegraph @AllisonPearson @AngelaRayner @Keir_Starmer How can you let this drunken harpie anywhere near your paper?

‘I think that something in me died the day that Jeremy Corbyn made Angela Rayner… the Shadow Education Secretary’
On this week’s Planet Normal @AllisonPearson explains why she doesn’t think @AngelaRayner is a suitable replacement for @Keir_Starmer

@SeddSezz The system of hereditary peers may not be ideal but it is better than a House of Lords stuffed with unelected government stooges and friends of peadophiles as Starmer likes to enoble.

@stiffclaym0r3 @PeterMcCormack Love this. Its absolutely spot on. I’d add ‘Man who brags about being a multi-millionaire says, “I’ll have to shut down my retail empire because I’m not allowed to exploit slave labour”.

@PeterMcCormack I'll have to close my shop because I'm not allowed to have slaves 😔

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 💪

@PeterMcCormack This small business owner harking back to the days when staff didn’t have ‘silly little workers rights’ and paid cash in hand to avoid tax.
