@NorthstarCharts Yet it isn’t which baffles me. Given rates and inflationary pressure I don’t see how equities don’t roll over.

@Xmusknewsx No. He’s an entrepreneur and pushes the envelope.

@mr_deepvalue Match puts

[AHMP 1983 @83AHMP]

@mr_deepvalue I’d be looking at puts in 1-3 months if it rally’s hard. March puts to lockup for any current shareholders and after indices have finished buying.

Well, well, well.

There’s always a tweet.

Unlikely he will admit that the anger was caused by his cabinet's appalling incompetence, and the two-tier policing they imposed

Nothing good will happen till he's gone

🚨STARMER’S BLATANT HYPOCRISY EXPOSED! 🤔

Perfect example of Two-Tier Keir.

Video 1 (2020): Starmer viciously attacks Trump for his response to the rioters after George Floyd’s death, calling it an “affront to humanity” and defending the unrest as “peaceful protests” by people “rightly demanding justice”.

“Like you, I was shocked and angered by the killing of George Floyd. And the response of President Trump and US authorities to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity.”

Video 2 (Today): Starmer condemns the “disgraceful” rioters in the wake of Henry Nowak’s tragic murder and his shocking treatment by police.

“No matter the pain we feel, there is no justification for violence and disorder. Let me be clear, we will ensure anyone found engaging in disorder meets the full force of the law.”

Why the blatant double standard, Keir?

Either rioting is bad or it isn’t?

You’re “shocked and angered” and label Trump’s crackdown an “affront to humanity”… but now you’re cracking down hard when people “demand justice” after Henry Nowak.

Are you the “affront to humanity” for condemning these rioters?

Two-Tier Keir exposed for the world to see.

@mr_deepvalue Love the activist approach.

Very quiet today @SadiqKhan

🚨BREAKING: Henry Nowak's father speaks out on the murder of his son:

"He told officers he could not breathe NINE TIMES, he said he had been stabbed FOUR TIMES, but the officer replied saying' 'I don't think you have, mate.'"

What a brave man.

The dual-income household didn't liberate women.
It inflated housing prices, created the childcare industrial complex, and turned every family into a tax bracket.
Two incomes later, you're still broke — just busier.

Keir Starmer Published His Rebuttal to Tony Blair Today. He Should Have Checked the Energy Bills First.

Tony Blair does not deploy the word "delusional" carelessly. Writing this week, the only Labour leader to have won three consecutive majorities, described his successor's government as suffering from an almost infinite capacity for self-delusion and lacking a coherent plan. It is the sharpest intervention in British politics this year. Starmer responded today with a Substack essay. He should have read his own energy brief before he published it.

The essay is accomplished. The structure is disciplined. The personal passage about his late brother is well-judged and clearly sincere. On the deficit between Blair's era and his own inheritance, he makes fair points. But the piece has a problem that no amount of political fluency can paper over. It describes a Britain that does not exist.

Starmer claims the British economy is outperforming its G7 peers. He claims that investing in clean energy is strengthening Britain's agency over energy markets and taking control of bills on behalf of working people. He invokes Jensen Huang of Nvidia as evidence that Britain is on the cusp of becoming an AI superpower. He says North Sea oil and gas will remain part of Britain's energy mix for generations.

Britain has 1.5 days of gas in reserve. Energy bills rose by £200 before the Iran war started, against Miliband's pre-election promise of bills £300 cheaper. They rise a further 13 percent in July, adding £220 to the average household's annual bill. OpenAI paused a £31 billion data centre investment eight weeks ago, citing his government's energy costs specifically. And on the same evening that Labour MPs were whipped to vote against new North Sea licences, his government quietly issued a trade licence permitting the import of diesel and jet fuel derived from Russian crude oil. That licence, GBSAN0004, is not time-limited as ministers suggested. It is of indefinite duration.

Starmer argues that North Sea oil has no discernible impact on the global price of oil and gas and is a depleting resource. Both things are partially true and together they are deployed to justify a policy that has left Britain more exposed to global energy markets than any comparable nation. The argument that domestic production cannot affect the global price is an argument against energy security, not for it. Norway, drawing from the same geology, has built the world's largest sovereign wealth fund on a resource Starmer describes as strategically irrelevant.

The most telling passage in the essay is the one on artificial intelligence. Starmer writes that Britain is widely recognised as a growing and sovereign AI player and that investment is flowing into the country. He does not mention OpenAI. He does not mention that Ofgem has warned that the data centres required for AI will demand more energy than the entire country currently consumes. He does not mention that Britain's industrial electricity prices are among the highest in the developed world. He cites the Nvidia chief executive and moves on.

Blair's charge was not that Starmer lacks values or effort. It was that the government lacks a coherent plan and that Labour has a historic tendency to mistake activity for strategy. Starmer's rebuttal lists activity. It counts childcare savings and NHS waiting list reductions and interest rate cuts. What it cannot do is explain why, in the middle of the worst energy crisis since 1973, Britain has 1.5 days of gas, the highest wholesale energy prices in Europe and an Energy Secretary who opened the door to Russian oil on the same night he closed the North Sea.

Blair called it self-delusion. Today's essay does not refute that charge. It illustrates it.

@CarolineLucas The last record was 80 or so years ago, so what’s the angle/argument there?

[Eva Vlaardingerbroek @EvaVlaar]

Dries has just been convicted again: This time for speaking the truth about the disastrous consequences of mass migration.

The most insane part is that the Belgian court even admitted Dries spoke the truth, as what he said was factual, but deems it a crime because it could incite hatred. Let that sink in.

They’re criminalizing the truth and they’re using Dries to set an example.

Let’s come together to help him. Dries is a young father, a brave patriot and the Belgian establishment has been trying to destroy him for years. He’s taken so many hits, he really deserves our help.

@triffic_stuff_ About the only thing I’ve ever agreed with him on.

Crazy how many non Muslims genuinely believe Muslims can never live peacefully with them.

They see Muslims as a threat to their safety, their communities, even their existence.

And honestly? Before Muslims get angry, ask yourself why that fear exists in the first place.

When some Muslims openly justify violence, celebrate extremists, threaten critics, force religion on others, and then scream “this is Islam” … what exactly do you expect non Muslims to think?

You can’t spend years allowing the loudest and most dangerous voices to represent Islam, then act shocked when the world becomes afraid of Muslims.

The biggest damage to Islam today is not coming from outsiders.
It’s coming from Muslims who turn the religion into a symbol of fear instead of peace.
