My friend Oliver Paull is raising £3000 to "Kick Off For The Kids". Check out their @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/crowdfunding/g…

Grotesque satire about a die-hard #XRP fan. Everything here is exaggerated to absurdity… but I’m pretty sure everyone in this community will recognize a little bit of themselves in it. Salute you fam🫡 @JoelKatz @bgarlinghouse @ashgoblue @SaluteXRPL @Ripple @chrislarsensf @binance @Bybit_Official @Toobit_official

@savegrassroots Don’t have that option round our way everything is fully booked !!! Can’t even get near one

£3.50 for kids to "pay and play" on one of these privatized FA/Premier League hubs ? imagine if a kid went after school and on a Saturday/Sunday that would be £24.50 just to kick a ball around

@maxrushden Grass roots will be a nightmare !!!

This is why daylight offsise is BAD! Also in open play, defences will just have to defend really deep. i can't believe Arsene Wenger can't see it. well I can believe it.

Starmer really is pathetic. This equivocal language, neither for nor against, weak and woolly, timid beyond belief, is unfitting for a national leader. If he just made a decision he would generate respect, if not agreement. But he can’t, he won’t. What is the point of him?

@Keir_Starmer Weak , weak man

My statement on Iran.

How would a Restore Britain Government support small businesses? First step, and possibly the most important. We understand the problems and trust me, I know how difficult it is. I’ve been there, I’ve done it. The effort that goes into keeping a small firm profitable and operational is vast, and NOBODY in Government understands that. THE most important way to help small businesses is tax. GET IT DOWN. Corporation tax - we should be aiming for the lowest in Europe. Undercut our neighbours, take their business. Be ruthless. Make Britain the most attractive place to operate on the continent. Watch how the money then flows in. Rates will slashed on income and dividend, thresholds pushed up. We must urgently reward success. NI not raised, but cut. If we want businesses to hire, MAKE IT CHEAPER. Because what happens when employment gets more expensive? Costs get passed on. Contracts stall. Hiring cancelled. Investment is paused. It grinds the economy to a halt. Businesses stop spending money. They wait and see. Everyone suffers. IR35 will go in the bin on day one. Things change, contracts change, circumstances change. IR35 accounts for none of that, adding layers of unnecessary paperwork and regulation. Flexibility matters. VAT threshold would be doubled. There are so many businesses hovering just under £90k, desperately avoiding VAT. Fair enough, I don’t blame them. So let’s hike the threshold and unleash that demand. We would like to see a tax holiday for small businesses in the first few years - give them the breathing space they need to grow and find their feet. HMRC will pick up the phone, and you will be able to speak to an advisor who can actually speak fluent English. What a mad shock that would be... We will end the HR-ification of Britain that is used to blackmail employers. Regulatory frameworks that are used to suffocate small businesses will be burnt away. Farage attacks private sector employees working from home. I couldn’t give a shit where people choose to work. If the employer and employee are happy, then it’s none of our business. Failing public sector officials? Different story. Business rates for small businesses, abolished. We will brutally crack down on illicit trading - does Britain need so many Turkish barbers and vape shops? The answer, quite obviously, is no. Let’s be honest about what’s really often going on here. Money laundering. There would be free car parking in high streets all over Britain. These little gnomes in councils have no idea. If parking is free at the retail parks, people will just go there. Let’s encourage them back into our high streets - that means tackling crime too, obviously, but one step a time here... Licensing laws, planning bureaucracy, council red tape. We will obliterate it all. Let’s back British hospitality. Cut VAT, business rates abolished and burn back the endless nonsense they have to deal with. Ease laws on closing times and fast-track permits for outdoor seating. If people want to enjoy a late night drink or two, it's none of our business to tell them otherwise. Restore Britain will put those jumped-up little council bastards back in their box. I promise you that. Inheritance tax will be abolished. If a family wants to pass their business down the generations, then Government must not stand in the way. Tax has been paid, there should not be another bill following a death. It’s wicked and cruel. Above all else - businesses need stable, long term thinking. The Budget should be a complete non-event, other than further tax cuts. This can all be funded by brutalising down the fraudulent state that has become the enemy of the people. And let me tell you this. ANYBODY who gets business will understand that these measures will pay for themselves many times over. If we reward hard work, then we’ll get more of it. More tax will be paid, and the economy will boom. These are just my initial thoughts on what a Restore Britain Government would do. We would create an environment in which it's easy to do business, and then we would leave you the hell alone. The message is this to small business owners... Restore Britain is on your side. You finally have a political party that will fight for your interests.

@Keir_Starmer I’m happy for you to walk away .

I will never walk away from the mandate I was given. I will never walk away from the people I'm fighting for. I will never walk away from the country I love.

@PolitlcsUK I wouldn’t think so

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer received a standing ovation and a 37-second applause as he entered the room to speak to Labour MPs just now

@PhilMyers53 @Keir_Starmer 😂

The United Kingdom cannot afford to succumb to the whims of the rich and powerful who see @Keir_Starmer as a threat to their way of life. We must unite behind him and give him our unwavering support #TenYearKeir

Not even the music artists are safe from AI. This song was straight 🔥

@JeremyClarkson any chance of a farm Christmas special ?

True to our long-standing compliance roots, @Ripple is applying for a national bank charter from the OCC. If approved, we would have both state (via NYDFS) and federal oversight, a new (and unique!) benchmark for trust in the stablecoin market. Earlier in the week via @StandardCustody, we also applied for a Fed Master account -- while Congress is working towards clear rules and regulations, and banks (in a far cry from the years of Operation Chokepoint 2.0) are leaning in, this access would allow us to hold $RLUSD reserves directly with the Fed and provide an additional layer of security to future proof trust in RLUSD. Ripple always has and will continue to build trusted, battle-tested and secure infrastructure. In a $250B+ market, RLUSD stands out for putting regulation first, setting the standard that institutions expect.

@JoelKatz Jurassic parks main frame computer setup .

Anyone know what this 1996 photo is a picture of? The code name was "BackRub". Googling is cheating.

@EdwardJDavey What a tool . Act professional for the love of god

This was genuinely my idea. #BuyLocal #BackBritain

@BitcoinPierre 😂

Bitcoin is going to save the financial system.

@JamesHarvey2503 Little man syndrome in full effect! how did London vote for this idiot .

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has called on people to PROTEST when President Trump visits the UK. "I expect Londoners—and people across the country—to make their views loud and clear when Trump visits." Shame he didn't call on people to protest the heinous rape gang scandal.

@kajakallas You mean Ukraine need an actual politician ? What were you watching !!!!!!! Peace can only happen when people move forward and then you look for peaceful solutions and resolve what compensation is required and sanctions.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
