@StuartJRitchie I saw your post, and naturally thought "what could possess someone to have such a crushingly stupid take on the situation?" Then, I opened your bio, and saw "Comms @AnthropicAI" 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

-Richard Dawkins writes a delightful, funny, and entertaining article -Everyone hates him for no good reason and decides to massively misrepresent his article in the most smug and humourless way imaginable ^ description of a constant internet occurrence since approximately 2006

@bmay @RobertM12997643 Devastating riposte, sir. Engaging with the actual argument would have been too predictable. Always good to keep your interlocutors on their toes. Have you considered insulting the sexual integrity of his mother?

Call me old school but if a maniac with a knife is running round a neighbourhood stabbing innocent members of the public and won’t drop the knife when tackled I think the police should be able to do whatever’s needed to disarm and disable that maniac. Odd we are even debating it.

When Jewish people speak out against genocide, why are our voices dismissed? And smirking while I describe someone Nazi-saluting at me isn’t just disrespectful - it feels deeply antisemitic. youtu.be/7VkfYJgLljE?si…

@GeorgeAACX The point is that all of those parties, despite their superficially different platforms, are more invested in uniting to prevent a green victory than competing between each other 👍 Pleased to have cleared that up for you; as I always say, no question is too silly!

@JoshStrifeHayes That's because the left has standards, and therefore relatively minor differences are perceived as more severe. Much discussion has been had on this subject.

The smirking responses from the left saying “well you’re too poor to run a business so it should shut down” are a microcosm of the mess this country is in. Tall poppy syndrome run amok.
Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

The new Green Party is a student union society that ends up being banned by the Dean masquerading as a serious political force, that's how low they've sunk.

Well done to @ZackPolanski for calling out the fact he was being interviewed by a former Lab minister & husband of the current foreign secretary! Since the start of this year #GMB is produced by @itvnews. How can they think this is tenable? Oh & Ed took it in good grace (not)

Should MPs be banned from boozing in Parliament? Green MP Hannah Spencer has said she feels "uneasy" when she can "smell the alcohol" on MPs when they vote. She says people in normal jobs wouldn't be able to have a few drinks during a shift, so why should MPs? Do you agree?

@lukejcr Alcohol free pint is fine, as I'm sure even you understand. This is because it doesn't contain alcohol, and therefore doesn't impair judgement. Why not say you had actual alcoholic drinks? Is it because you know it's wrong, and don't want to be on the record admitting it?

🚨Breaking news: MPs are human and sometimes have a drink. Classic clickbait farming 👎 MPs work long days for constituents, and yes, sometimes share a drink in the evening with colleagues. Last week I was scandalously spotted with… an alcohol-free pint or two between votes 😱 But sure, let’s talk about that instead of the Greens’ wacky policies. Trying to distract us, maybe? 🙄

"You can smell the alcohol when people are in between votes." Green MP Hannah Spencer tells us what Westminster is REALLY like. The full interview is live on YouTube, and as a podcast here: linktr.ee/howtorebuildbr…
