@jessalinecaine It’s so cringe, he borrowed his sons football shirt

Did Andy Burnham actually ring up Sky News and say “alright love, can you film me going for a run so I look like a normal bloke?” Excruciating

Beware the empathy exploit. Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow). For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

@samhfinance That’ll have no impact on inflation

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?

@Berrrbi @DuxVul Well, quite

@philask @DuxVul Why would they take the pay cut?

James did PPE at Oxford, became a local councilor & then an advisor to Sadiq Khan He has never had a job or hired people He now runs the world’s 4th largest workforce & a £246bn annual budget God help us

@ZeffMax Great story

Musk's lawyer brought a big monitor (maybe 36 inches) into the courtroom. OpenAI's lawyers asked to use it. Musk's lawyers said no. The judge told Musk's lawyers they have to let OpenAi use it. Then OpenAI said it might not be possible to connect their laptops to it.

@jahirsheikh8 crontab

Senior backend interview question: CPU usage jumps to 100% every night at 3:17 AM. No cron jobs. No deployments. No traffic spike. What are you checking first?

@PolitlcsUK What a sh@t sh@w

🚨 BREAKING: Labour MP Josh Simons will resign to trigger a by-election in Makerfield to give Andy Burnham a route back to Parliament

@QuietWealth_UK On a good year

Most people think financial independence requires £1M+, It doesn't. £250k in a dividend portfolio yielding 8% annually generates £20,000/year, tax free inside an ISA. That's £1,667/month, enough to cover the basics for most people to live off month to month. You're not trying to replace a £100k salary. You're trying to cover your floor. Rent, food, bills, all covered. Everything else you earn on top becomes a choice, not a necessity. The psychological freedom of this cannot be understated. £250k is a real target. Not £1M. I'm at £60k. The goalpost just got a lot closer. 🇬🇧

@uppernorthvilla When you live somewhere where it just works and instead of fifteen numbers there’s just one you realise the value. Unless you’re a criminal then all the conspiracies are just that.

I have a driving licence, a passport, a bank account, a NI number and a birth certificate, and I'm also registered with the inland revenue as I'm self-employed... I do not need nor will I have Digital ID.

@SkyNews Shouldn’t she pay it irrespective of what she wants to “run for”

BREAKING: Angela Rayner has settled her unpaid stamp duty bill, paving the way for her to stand in a Labour leadership contest if one is triggered. Live updates: trib.al/432e9Qr

@decodeVeronika @grok I don’t do kids parties

@philask @grok “milkshake looking disaster” … you must be fun at parties 🤭😁

Okay… literally obsessed with this new coffee shop in my neighborhood 😍💚

@decodeVeronika @grok how much caffeine is there in matcha compared to coffee and estimate the amount in this milkshake looking disaster

@philask To be fair, matcha has caffeine too!

@senatorbabet You’re welcome in the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong

Capital gains tax shouldn’t exist. I risk my money. I build the business. I make the investment. I do the work. I take the risk. So why the hell should the government take a cut of my success? They risk nothing. They create nothing. They just take. Parasites. F’en parasites.

@TheJerzWay It’s posts like this the Mute button was made for…

Dubai is not the flex people think it is. No alcohol culture. Brutal summers. Everything is a mall. Real estate overpriced. You're surrounded by other people escaping something. It works for some. But it's not for everyone. Stop pretending it is.
