@higgyboson R-Andeh’s total absence of a top lip is the most disturbing thing about this man. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. Like, where IS his top lip?!?
@PolitlcsUK For many years successive governments have perfected the art of “Taffing about around the edges” Burnham’s shower of bastards have now reached a zenith with this, ensuring nothing useful gets done, instead preferring “vibes” to gloss over the damage happening behind the scenes
If you want to be taken seriously look at data, not emotive pictures. Wildfires tracking lowest ever in Europe. UK emits 0.8% of global emissions, a rounding error. The economy is stagnating because of highest electricity prices. Get serious about proper analysis and growth.
Let's be as clear as possible regarding the Labour Party, they have failed, utterly and miserably failed. They were always going to, you can't go left-wing control and redistribution after a Conservative government did the same - there was no juice left.
As the cabinet and back benchers turn on Keir, looking for a new leader...no change will make things better.
They are ideologically misaligned with what a successful and prosperous nation requires and either deeply unimpressive or fundamentally dangerous.
- Reeves is useless
- Lammy is dangerous
- Rayner both
- Miliband is literally retarded
- Phillipson and Cooper, please
We will have the theatre of a leadership contest then the decline will continue.
The only thing which can save the country is a people's revolution - keeping the socialists and Fabian's as far away from the state as possible.
We only have one choice - a massive slashing of the state, taxes, welfare and regulations. We must restore law and order and make Britain a meritocracy again.
If we don't, the best, the wealthy and the ambitious will leave and you will be left with nothing. Idiots on the left will say "go then, we're better off without you". No, you're an idiot - you do not understand money, economics and incentives. You break things which work for things which sound nice.
We have limited time.
@LiamHalligan@7Kiwi This article is hard reading. Actual truth telling financial journalism. Love Liam Halligan, Bro will be proven correct. He’s the only mainstream journalist ringing this bell and largely being ignored. Keep going Liam!!
Taxing non-income-producing property is wrong. Homeowners should not be forced to work to pay "rent" to the government for the privilege of living in their own homes. Property taxes should only be levied on income-producing property, as the income provides a means to pay the tax.
@spikedonline They will blame the war or the global economic environment. Anything but accepting responsibility for their own ideological destruction of Britain. It’s so easy to fix but they’re blind to the solutions staring them in the face.
@isabelleboemeke Politics might be downstream of culture but politicians are supposed to LEAD... They keep telling us they are our LEADERS... I'm yet to find any evidence of that and if all they do is ride the "vibe shift" they all want locking up.
The unintended consequences
Broker comment:
‘Sulfuric Acid for heap leaching is critical in the processing of many metals (Copper, Nickel, Lithium, and Uranium)
A significant portion of global sulfur supply comes from gas desulfurization in the Mid East. With the Strait technically closed, this sulfur is essentially trapped .. so major concerns of acid availability shortages, esp in place like Africa, the longer the situation evolves.
Again, risk here to the cost curve and higher opex + plant availability concerns. Also - smelters in China, Japan, Korea are seeing their energy costs skyrocket. I have read they are cutting runs which also reduces the supply of "smelter acid"
If you are a Copper / Nickel miner relying on imported acid, there is now massive risk to that supply chain .. essentially means a real risk you cannot produce cathode’
@multichain_sid @BRICSinfo He needs to get out now before his brew goes cold. Not being able to finish your cuppa due to an Iranian drone strike is just not fucking cricket. What a nightmare! 😱
