@stevensongs He also invented the slang for 3.5g of weed.

Fractions were invented by Henry the 1/8th

@RobNoLastName So well put. Money isn’t real to these people.

If you owe someone £3 trillion, your opinion is no longer relevant

In a crowded field, Dr Shola is one of my least favourite commentators. That's mainly because she rarely does any actual commenting. All she does is film her smirking reactions to people expressing low-status views. It's the purest expression of Fashionable Opinion Privilege.

Another fantastic #BattleFest North speech👇 "There isn't gonna be a Northern Renaissance - there's not a chance. However many reports are written and however many speeches are made by Andy Burnham" @SimonMagus on "Economic growth: will there be a Northern Renaissance?"

@teh__oracle @nobodyexpresses @Kekius_Sage Ok my mums calling me in for my tea now

well the fact that we are here suggests an infinite source of something but how do we have infinite energy in a universe where everything ultimately decays and dies and not only that but even if nothing was impossible why is this something so specific in purpose and so convenient, why if this something/energy is infinite created other forms of energy without a will in the first place, a soup of infinite energy? a billion of coincidences that seem to lead to one main conclusion, conscious entities experiencing life, everything else dead and irrelevant in comparison, that is very specific in this infinity of whatever and I don't know if that's convincing enough to you as an answer but not me

Physicist Michio Kaku suggests dark matter isn’t matter at all. It is gravity leaking from a parallel dimension.

@The_Kyle_Mann @SonOfAristotle @HarnessLive What’s the cringey one where they basically repeat Star Wars and have a load of corny nostalgia moments like Han Solo in the Millenium Falcon? I could look it up

@SonOfAristotle @HarnessLive Also no fun and no good characters

All Star Wars movies ranked: Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi

@teh__oracle @nobodyexpresses @Kekius_Sage Beginning is a subjective concept - time can start and stop and negate the word ‘before’. If you mean why is there anything, it seems there might actually be everything, expressed across many dimensions. Rather than why is anything possible, how could nothing be possible?

@nobodyexpresses @Kekius_Sage forget I said God since you're so sensitive, the problem you have with this infinite turd theory is you have to now explain how the universe began infinite amount of times instead of once

@IGMansfield Chances of a reform coalition?

Agree with the contents or not, this is outstanding from the Tories - explicitly setting out a swathe of laws they would repeal, and new laws they would pass, if in power. A clear determination to avoid Starmer's mistake of arriving in No. 10 without even the glimmer of a plan.

@Adam_Townsend If only we had the capacity to make up our own minds like you do.

A lot of noise about Starmer, but I remain convinced that the majority of the people saying he needs to leave have no idea why they actually feel that way. They just feel that way because a lot of the media tell them to do so. Really quite depressing, to be honest.

@JamesCleverly This guy called Steve Baker a c**t. His judge of character and of reality is deeply questionable, even for a C4 presenter.

This has aged like milk.

@cjsnowdon I parked my RWKTV article as I couldn’t resist writing about Starmer once more.. open.substack.com/pub/funosphere…

@cjsnowdon I wrote most of this while drunk. I’m about to write about right wing kids TV. Yes I am an IEA/Spectator sycophant. open.substack.com/pub/funosphere…

It’s probably just the algo trying to annoy me but my feed is now full of drooling imbeciles making the same stupid point.

@BDSixsmith Hello Ben. I’m a consistent enjoyer of your wit. I wonder if you would review my comparatively pale attempts via substack at. @funosphere78

@AHWilkes @SteveBakerFRSA Sometimes wonder if proportional representation might mean weaker parliamentary majority and less legislation. Do less!

@SteveBakerFRSA Is that bad though? Some of items in the legislative pipeline are batshit crazy and not one of them will boost growth or individual liberty. Sand in the gears and a spanner in the works please.

😩Of course the Prime Minister is digging in. 😬 This is terrible news for our country as everything grinds to a halt in the machinery of government

@CharlieSaxaC @SteveBakerFRSA Of all kinds

@SteveBakerFRSA 14 years.

@John_Stepek Hey guys he’s just a serious adult trying to do the right thing unlike all other PMs previously, give him a break it’s so unfair 😭

Britain's political problem is not "comms", and nor are we "ungovernable". We simply don't have politicians in place who are able to rise to the challenges we face. The problem does not lie with the voters, much as many seem to want to blame us/them.

@BBCBreakfast Surprising- would Mahmoud survive under Rayner/Burnham/Milliband?

Keir Starmer will hold a cabinet meeting this morning with ministers divided over his future after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood called for the PM to set out a timetable for his resignation. Chief Political correspondent Henry Zeffman had the latest from Downing Street on #BBCBreakfast bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1e2…

@kokeshimum Or 5 years and 5 months for those who can count. A later and worse deal than it should have been for obvious reasons. Many would say it’s worth the 1% GDP lag to the eurozone since (plus outperforming Germany). Still too early for a referendum but I think it would fail.

The dribbling right wing simpletons with the “we didn’t get the Brexit we voted for” bollocks. It’s been 10 fucking years. TEN And they still tell us that Farage could make it work. Utterly fucking deranged.

@anainsin @LouiseS11293637 as someone who regretted not voting to exit: the risk UK establishment took in fighting the result materially harmed the deal we got (as well as being quite shameful). But it was always going to be a net negative for GDP. obvious trade-off. Referendum in 10 years is about right

@tomhfh If Truss/Kwarteng came into power now would the bond markets return to ‘mini budget levels’?

Until someone bites the bullet, slashes spending, and does the difficult pro-growth reforms this country desperately needs, we will continue to have a ridiculous carousel of Prime Minsters. The truth is the Prime Minister could have survived the Mandelson scandal if people felt better off in their pockets. While there’s no growth, there’s no longevity of political tenure. Blair survived plenty of scandal, and plenty of Mandelson, ultimately because everything in life’s wider context didn’t feel so desperately shit. Until we have a political class brave enough to end the overspending, liberalise the labour market, and *actually* overhaul the planning system - we’re going to be stuck in this same psychodrama of doom.

@Kekius_Sage Sometimes I wonder if it’s not even information, it’s an expression of all possibilities of information.

Nobel Prize physicist Frank Wilczek says matter, energy, and even reality itself may ultimately emerge from information.
