@GovLepetomane69 @Alastai80627054 @jurgen_nauditt @grok @grok how would that change if nato were involved in supporting the uk
English

@Alastai80627054 @jurgen_nauditt @grok Do you honestly think that the RAF could prevent the US from bombing military targets across the UK?
@grok In a hypothetical engagement. Could the RAF stop the USA from an Iran war style bombing campaign against the UK? What are the chances that the RAF could stop the attacks?
English

Because Denmark didn't want to sell an island.
But primarily because 49.8% of Americans are absolute idiots and elected an absolute idiot as president.

Trump just explained why he turned on NATO: “It all began with Greenland. We want Greenland. They don’t want to give it to us. And I said bye bye.” The most powerful military alliance in human history. 75 years of collective defense. The foundation of postwar Western security. Ended because Denmark wouldn’t sell an island.

@Bru1g @paullewismoney No, its just you have been proven wrong several times, but apparently still think you are right, its bizarre
English

@manlikemart @paullewismoney How quaint! No need to resort to insults, or is that your preferred modus operandi?
English

A lie like this gets traction but it is untrue.

The UK has crossed a line. Welfare spending: £333 billion Income tax revenue: £331 billion We’re now paying out more than we bring in from workers. This is unsustainable.
English

@paullewismoney @Bru1g ignore him Paul, you can't reason with idiots
English

@Bru1g @manlikemart You’ve completely misunderstood it. The surplus does reduce the national debt. But the money in is completely ring fenced and an account of it is published each year.
English

@Bru1g @paullewismoney So Income tax and NI receipts exceed the welfare bill. We got there in the end!!
English

@manlikemart @paullewismoney As does all taxation, but you accuse me of cherrypicking? 🙄
English

@Bru1g @paullewismoney N.I. contributes to the payment of welfare, that is a fact
English

That's incorrect. NI is not ring-fenced in any way (unlike when first introduced as a bespoke fund for state pensions).
The government effectively stopped treating the National Insurance Fund (NIF) as a fully protected, self-sustaining fund for pensions during the 1980s. The statutory requirement for the Treasury to contribute was removed in 1989.
Ever since, sussessive governments have treated NI and Income taxes as one pot for tax purposes.
It's why the Tories talked about removing NI prior to their demise.
Labour called it an unfunded tax cut, but in reality it was a simplification of the tax system as both taxes do the same.

English

@paullewismoney Are you saying 333 billion is a figure to be welcomed it’s absolutely insane
English

@Bru1g @paullewismoney the point is you are cherry picking the the income sources, so when you include NI (which is where the welfare spend comes from), it shows a very different result
English

@paullewismoney The wider point is that government borrowing and spending far exceeds the revenue it receives through taxes.
Making petty points whilst ignoring the substance is no better that two bald men fighting over a comb; its pointless!
English

@paullewismoney @grok
UK
Welfare spending: £333 billion
Income tax revenue: £331 billion
Are these figures true ?
English

@TedWest84 @paullewismoney @Beagleinwales yeah but we "pay out" from N.I. as well, you inbred little, brain dead twat
English

@paullewismoney @Beagleinwales But he said "income tax", you lying, odious little turd.
English

@faisalislam Did Rachel tell you to write that?

NEW
10y bond yields across Europe tumbling on opening after two week ceasefire announced…
UK down 20 basis points ie 0.2% to 4.63%
FR down 24 bps 3.54%
Ge down 17bps
Important for fixed mortgages:
UK 5y gilt down 23bps 4.25%
2y down 27bps 4.15%
This was after avg mortgage rates had risen to 5.9% (2y) and 5.78% (5y) acc to Moneyfacts, having been below 5% on both counts pre war… if today is sustained these should come back down again.
