@Keir_Starmer There is lots of tragedy in peoples lives. This is a cynical attempt to deflect from the key issue at hand however. You can tell a great deal about a person by looking at the company he keeps.

I lost my brother to cancer. I was with him when he was told his diagnosis - a moment I will never forget. Throughout, the NHS respected and cared for him. When he passed away, it hit me like a bus - even though I knew it was coming. I'm determined that every person diagnosed with cancer gets the best possible chance of beating it. Our National Cancer Plan is the most ambitious in a generation. It means earlier diagnosis, slashing waiting lists and investing in cutting-edge technology to build an NHS fit for the future.

@UKLabour Except it's completely abandoned working people. That's why we've joined the greens.

The amount of personal abuse now directed at @Keir_Starmer on X is totally unacceptable. It’s fair enough to disagree with him, his policies & his government but to descend to the nasty personal comments now posted shows ignorance but also spite, wickedness & hatefulness

This Christmas, a lot of people will be working hard to keep our country safe, often away from their families. We invited public sector workers to Downing Street for an early Christmas dinner to say thank you.

I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief. I want to pay tribute to Alaa’s family, and to all those that have worked and campaigned for this moment. Alaa's case has been a top priority for my government since we came to office. I’m grateful to President Sisi for his decision to grant the pardon.

This is it. The freeze disproportionately hits the highest earning 20%. Doesn’t really touch the top 1%. We’ve accidentally created a unique kind of progressive taxation aimed at those earning about £50k to 150k
Ben Zaranko@BenZaranko

One interesting thing to note on the 3-year freeze in personal tax allowances: a 1p increase in all rates of income tax would have raised a similar amount while bringing in more from those at the very top of the distribution.

Ha! The real race baiting and talking shite is to paint an image of immigrants as criminals and rapists, then when a glaring example that refuted this sick generalisation surfaces, you say, this guy assimilated. As if there are millions of others who assimilated too! Don’t play the angry Miss Dishonesty

Restore Britain has uncovered unpublished HMRC analysis detailing tax contribution data by ethnicity. I just asked Reeves if she will commit to releasing the same figures by nationality to discover who is paying their way, and who isn't. I did not receive a positive response...

@RupertLowe10 By nationality is a poor proxy for by ethnicity. Mass immigration has been going on for 30 years. You don't want the numbers obfuscated by naturalised citizens.

Bitcoin Is For Everyone is out now in print, audiobook, and ebook -- I can’t believe I finally get to say that! This educational project has been years in the making. It comes from my family’s immigrant story, from watching the American Dream get priced out for so many hard-working people, and from my conviction that understanding money and Bitcoin can truly change ordinary lives. Before it goes out into the world in a bigger way, I want to acknowledge three people whose minds and hearts shaped this book in a huge way: @LynAldenContact’s thoughtful, disciplined, data-driven mind was absolutely indispensable. Lyn’s ability to turn complex ideas into clear writing grounded in rock-solid facts was a huge inspiration. Knowing she took the time to read and challenge this book is an honor I don’t take lightly. @JeffBooth has such a uniquely calm, compassionate way of explaining the massive paradigm shift we’re living through. Jeff helped me articulate the transition we’re in (from a debt-driven, deflation-fighting system to something more hopeful) in a way that feels grounded and human. And the formidable Michael @Saylor…The way he combines first-principles logic, long-term vision, and personal integrity has deeply influenced my journey in Bitcoin. His example gave me so much courage to write boldly and from the heart. To Lyn, Jeff, and Michael: thank you for reading early copies of Bitcoin Is For Everyone, for your feedback, and for the example you each set in this space. You helped make this book better! I’m so excited (and very nervous!) to finally share it with all of you. You can order Bitcoin Is For Everyone now. I truly hope it helps people feel more empowered in this financial system.
