@winchesterwire @JoshGafson1 Do one retard

@nmuk @JoshGafson1 Shit Russian bot, which will then deny it.

He’s running 🏃‍♂️

@Katrina_Lexxa @ashleyschendel It belongs in the front pocket.

@ashleyschendel I never did understand wallets anyway. How can one sit comfortably with that thick thing in their back pocket.

Very rarely will you need to buy your husband a new wallet, but when that day comes, it is somehow a major household decision and you cannot screw it up. Men will carry the same wallet for 20 years with the corners falling apart and still say it’s fine. So this is not the moment for creativity. Slim, durable, leather if he’s a leather guy, metal if he already likes that kind of thing. Do not surprise a man with a weird wallet.

I have a feeling he's neglecting his duties as Mayor, is there any way to kick him out now he's spending every waking moment on this by-election campaign instead of actually doing the real job he was elected to do. He has zero skin in the game - if he loses he's still Mayor - should be forced to resign NOW - and make it real.

Andy Burnham vs Reform Will Labour lose a seat and mayorship to Reform ?

@andrewtipler @ryan_murton @SamCoatesSky He's not doing his job any more you fool - it's his cushy fallback option for when he loses.

@ryan_murton @SamCoatesSky You don’t have to hand in your notice for just applying for another job, only if they give you the job. Not sure how this is any different

NEW: If Andy Burnham wins the Makerfield byelection he is required to quit the Manchester Metro Mayor and it will hold an election. Government has passed legislation to change the mayoral voting system away from FPTP to a proportional system BUT The government haven’t passed the necessary secondary legislation to enact this change. So as it’s stands, a mayoral election would be held under FPTP

@SamCoatesSky The fact he can stay on as Mayor even if he loses is a disgrace

“Hello Sky News, could you be in that location for that exact time tomorrow morning to make it look authentic? Thanks.”

@NotFarLeftAtAll Burnham as PM would Farage/Lowe parties a big boost. Farage is living on borrowed votes due only to timing

Could Reform still secure victory in the next General Election if Andy Burnham becomes Labour’s new leader?

@DebiEvansMatron @AndyBurnhamGM He's a distraction, nothing more. Will lose and Starmer will be victorious 'great leader' for a while longer.

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5yrs old HOW @AndyBurnhamGM suddenly became SO POPULAR? I’m thinking they WANT you to believe he is…. But….. in reality? It’s all #Hype #Spin Or am I missing something? #Fabian

@kiddo_pwn Nice work, I use Firefox so it's good to see.

RIP for all 6 entries. The last-minute patch turned out quite solid. So I decided to give my exploit a proper goodbye. Enjoy! github.com/kiddo-pwn/ffff…

@RCristinaFClub @DouglasCarswell @jonw101961 lol

@DouglasCarswell @jonw101961 The bookies have already got Burnham as the easy winner.

I see Andy Burnham is running in a by election, something I once did. Here are a couple of red flags: 🚩 There’s something presumptuous in making the by election about Andy and his career. It’s almost inviting voters to reject him. 🚩 Makerfield, grok tells me, was 2-1 for leave. Perhaps unwise to make it about rejoining the EU? Andy & co came of age when folk talked about weighing the Labour vote. They might discover those days have gone

@justdavenow89 They were both complete and utter cunts.

Starmer is a better prime minister than Boris Johnson

@BAcct8 @Punk4725 @BitcoinOnly23 @Ledger Yeah, kind of like how I get ledger email all the time even though I have never had one. I am an MtGox creditor and all the names are known / issued by the court in Japan on a list from like 10 years ago.

@Punk4725 @BitcoinOnly23 @Ledger Might not have been through Ledger, could have been any number of your KYC’d exchanges leaking your data and they correctly guessed your have a Ledger

This is terrifying @Ledger. I just received a physical scam letter at my home address in Italy 🇮🇹 How the hell do scammers have access to the addresses of Ledger users? This goes way beyond phishing emails now. People’s safety is literally at risk.

@luxemiaa Cut to the chase, did he get a BJ or not?

I went on a date and ordered a salad and fries. That was my meal. The waiter wrote it down and moved on to him. He asked, “Does the club sandwich come with fries?” The waiter said yes. He said, “Great, I’ll have the club.” Then he looked at the waiter and said, “And you can cancel her fries.” My fries. The fries I had specifically ordered for myself. Canceled without discussion, as if he had full legal authority over my potato decisions. I just sat there staring at him. This man had known me for maybe 20 minutes and was already editing my order. I asked why he did that. He said, “You can just have some of mine.” That was not the point. First of all, I wanted my own fries. Second, I do not want to negotiate over side dishes with a man I barely know. And.,......

@chinacivilizati @EthanLevins2 Yes, I read about it a while back he had some serious issues and surgeries.

@nmuk @EthanLevins2 Oh, really, I never heard about that!

Why does he walk like this

@chinacivilizati @EthanLevins2 No, very serious historical back injuries from in his early 40's

@nmuk @EthanLevins2 Is it because of having too much sexual activity?

@chinacivilizati @EthanLevins2 Or it could be his well documented life altering spinal injuries

@EthanLevins2 Maybe his big belly made him walk like this.

@grok @samhfinance So if the number of workers ever goes down due to say population shrinkage then we end up in a situation of bankruptcy don't we ?

Yes, exactly. It's a pay-as-you-go system: NI contributions from today's workers and employers mainly pay for today's State Pensions and other benefits. The National Insurance Fund isn't a savings pot invested for your future—it's spent in the same year, with just a small working balance maintained. No personal fund builds up for you. That's why the system relies on enough future workers to support retirees.

The UK should scrap the state pension. Give every newborn a £10,000 investment account instead. £10k at 7% for 67 years = roughly £930k. The average person pays about £113,000 in NI over their career. That buys you £241/week at retirement age. Why are we still doing it this way?

@grok @samhfinance So this money paid in by current employees is paid to existing retirees isn't it? It's not saved up in a fund to pay for the future is it?

National Insurance contributions mainly go into the National Insurance Fund (a separate pot from general tax revenue). It's a pay-as-you-go system: current workers' NI pays for today's benefits, with ~95% funding the State Pension. Smaller amounts cover contributory benefits like contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance, Maternity Allowance, and Bereavement Support. A portion is also allocated to the NHS before hitting the Fund. gov.uk has the full breakdown.
