@BashfordAndy @justdavenow89 Question : Who appointed him as leader?
Answer: The party board, of which he was a part (in fact the President)
If he's able to appoint himself as leader then he was already de facto leader, wasn't he?
English
@fourcheeze @justdavenow89 Except he wasn’t the leader of Reform when he received the gift 🙄
English
So Farage didnt declare
5 million pounds
helicoptor rides
and now alledged dodgy meetings with johnson
the media can not ignore this any longer
English
@BashfordAndy @justdavenow89 I wonder generally how this is defined and/or policed. If someone pays me £5m for my own fun activities and then I change my party's policy, does that count?
We should always ask ourselves, what is the motivation of the giver? The same is true for free tickets to the football
English
@justdavenow89 He didn’t need to declare the £5m gift and he paid for the Helicopter Travel at commercial rates 🩵👍🇬🇧

@mw1234500 @dave43law @JohnCleese Before asking why ask "if"
Which countries hosted the most refugees last year? What do you notice?

@dave43law @JohnCleese Why don't muslim refugees want to live in a Muslim country is the question, why do they risk their lives try to get to western Christian countries 👍

@KnucklesNp26684 @LoftusSteve Hilariously the country with the largest peach production is...
China
English
@LoftusSteve Under socialism, the government would nationalise the farms, drive them into the dirt leaving no food for anyone to eat, and then everyone would starve to death, apart from the socialist elites who still eat incredibly well from whatever scraps can be looted from society.
English
Under capitalism if you don't want to eat peaches then farmers stop growing them.
Under socialism you'd be forced to eat peaches.

this is a completely unhinged thing to do that has somehow been normalized under capitalism. imagine explaining to someone 300 years ago the idea of destroying 420k trees cuz a company went bankrupt

@PippaP22 @IbrahimMal74532 Official policy:
Using more private-sector healthcare
Vouchers for private if waits too long
20% tax relief on private
Tax cuts for NHS staff
Expanding training places and writing off student debt
So, how to keep funding everything with those additional costs as well?
English
@IbrahimMal74532 They haven’t promised a privatised NHS. That’s just a lie.
But tell me, with the national debt and growth as they are, how are we going to keep funding everything without going bust?
English
Since when did vilifying poorer white people become ok? Are we still ultimately a nation of classism and snobs?
I thought we were supposed to be becoming a kinder, more tolerant society?
But I don’t see that.
All I see is a certain ‘educated’ class indulging in the kind of disgusting bigotry that is far, far darker than anything they claim to be fighting against:
English
@Frances27628257 @Cherryopenmind @LucyTCWife @Keir_Starmer All parties are individually dangerous
What's needed is a system where all voices are represented and valued, and people have to work together
English
@Cherryopenmind @LucyTCWife @Keir_Starmer Which party is better then? Labour has almost destroyed the UK, after 14 years of Conservative help. Apart from Rupert’s Restore Britain, there’s only Reform who will change UK into what it used to be! The GREEN party is dangerous & the others are useless.
English
Dear @Keir_Starmer
How’s the term “Far Right” working out for you today??
The truth always outs and good always presides over evil.
We will win this battle. You however are going to hell in a handcart 😈
English
@GoodwinMJ You're right about most of these except:
People disagree about what constitutes illegal immigration
Legal migration: need to make more babies first
Im about as far left as you once were and on-board with improving policing and putting criminals where they belong
English
When failed politicians say “return to the centre ground” they reveal they don’t know where the centre ground is.
Most Brits want to deport illegal migrants.
Most Brits want to slash legal immigration.
Most Brits think Britain is Broken.
Most Brits want to end soft-on-crime policies.
Most Brits think we should put British people first.
Most Brits don’t want to feel like strangers in their own country.
Most Brits support capitalism but think some large corporations are taking them for a complete ride.
Most Brits want to slash foreign aid and spend it instead on the NHS.
Most Brits no longer trust legacy politics & media because they can see they don’t care about ordinary working people.
And most Brits don’t want woke nonsense jammed down their throats all the time.
The centre-ground is not where so-called advocates of the centre ground think it is.
English
@GreaterFireweed @Sulla7890 @AllisonPearson @TiceRichard What percentage of registered voters do you expect Reform to get at the next general election?
English
@Sulla7890 @AllisonPearson @TiceRichard Labours secured just 9,708,816 votes from 48,208,507 registered voters.
9,708,816/48,208,507 x 100 = 20%
English
This isn’t just about loathing Starmer although he is certainly loathsome.
This is the working people rejecting an entire political class that has forced values down their throats they despise.
That has mismanaged their country and made affording a very ordinary life hard.
That has allowed mass immigration to ruin parts of their beloved country.
That has called them far right and racist when they object to the ruin of that country.
Well, they are the Masters now.

@Ferdinand641 @tonguei66408226 You don't think trading with the EU is important for British businesses? You don't think stuff sold into the EU has to follow those standards?
English
@fourcheeze @tonguei66408226 You’re talking nonsense. Ask Grok for an explanation instead of making daft tweets
English
The 60 most recent polls all show that Brits are not prepared to sacrifice sovereignty
Nobody wants to submit to the utterly useless and destructive EU.
Give it a rest!
Cary Cooper@ProfCaryCooper
English
@Ferdinand641 @tonguei66408226 If people didn't want to lose sovereignty we shouldn't have left the EU. I know you believe it's all some bureaucratic conspiracy, and it could certainly definitely be streamlined, but the truth is that we will always have many of its rules, and now without any input to them
English
You lot never give up. Weren’t they told leaving made no measurable difference and were they prepared to give up sovereignty? Over 70% say no.
There’s the serious decline Europe is in, and we’re playing a useful part in AI development that EU regs would sabotage.
As I said, Remoaners can’t accept they were wrong then and are even more wrong now.
All this is on X, but some still cling to legacy media and remain ill-informed as a result.

@Cartermill65675 @cmwrawcliffe Do you have some data showing this correlation?
English
@cmwrawcliffe Why are you all so thick? Rising min wages drives unemployment and inflation. Dropping this would address both, more ppl in work and life is cheaper, they can pay “a living wage” the gov are just actively preventing it,
English
If you can't pay people a wage they can live on, your business is subsidised by the state. And that's NOT a sound business model.
The economically illiterate person is you, pretending to be a good businessman while expecting others to support you through their taxes .
Peter McCormack 🏴☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack
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.

@latimeralder @KateFantom @northseaweather You can maybe argue no cheap solar and wind, but why no hydro on there?
Also it seems that Denmark has more wind and solar than us and cheaper electricity, so what are the other factors?
English
@KateFantom @fourcheeze @northseaweather Nothing wrong with me
I prefer cheap, reliable abundant power for everyone.
I live in energy reality. Not a fluffy green fantasy
That's all
English
So far today, renewable energy has produced over 70% of our grid energy.
Fossil fuels have produced only 6%
Imagine all that gas that hasn’t been burnt that we can use another day.
English
@pluginmaybe @EyreDuncan @DeborahMeaden @SeddSezz indeed they pretty much pay for themselves in 18 months

@EyreDuncan @DeborahMeaden @SeddSezz Heat pump tumble dryers are the same size as vented ones, and cost less over the lifetime of the machine

🚨Rush to buy tumble dryers after Miliband’s net zero ban
Imminent law changes will see traditional tumble dryers phased out for Net Zero.
Perhaps Mad Miliband should visit a 14th floor flat where a family of 4 do washing on a regular basis.
Would he like to live in a place with several airers of damp washing, which damage children's health?
Screw the Net Zero con. Screw this Miliband prick.
English
@FollowTheScien4 @KateFantom I don't think any of us paying our bills are under the impression that windy days are cheaper. However the more wind power that there is available in the longer term, the less gas is needed. Lowering demand for gas reduces gas prices which reduces all energy prices
English
@fourcheeze @KateFantom Yes.
But renewable proponents often have the false impression that windy days are cheap because the wholesale price is low.
This is false because wind is not paid just the wholesale price.
English
@northseaweather @latimeralder @KateFantom Start with a world with no previous generation infrastructure, where you had to start from scratch but with today's technology
What would you be doing now, digging up stuff to burn, or figuring out how to utilise the huge potential of the sun and the wind?
English
The challenge to explain the stupidity of attempting to run an economy on wind and solar to their advocates, is a lot more difficult than trying to explain to a toddler why they shouldn’t push a slice of toast with jam into a video recorder.
The toddler definitely had more cognitive reasoning.
English
@FollowTheScien4 @KateFantom It's true of pretty much any generator that more volume = more revenue
English
@KateFantom Once more: wind isn't paid just the wholesale price. It's deliberately paid outside the marginal pricing system.
The price for Hornsea 1 is £206.06/MWh.
When does it make most money at this rate? On windy days.
When does it receive the greatest subsidy? On windy days.
