Observations on a world in flux. Focused on the evolution of systems, ideas, and markets.

@CrewkerneMan @michaelgove Your interpretation of what he’s saying is mind numbingly inaccurate.

[Peter Bleksley @PeterBleksley]

Cock.
Untrustworthy socialist cock.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

The fact that the two men who brutalised a police officer at Manchester Airport will NOT face a retrial is a shocking disgrace.

It is a huge miscarriage of justice and they only ever seem to go in one direction.

The British justice system is BROKEN.

Time for changes.

@RupertLowe10 Change the record Rupert, it’s getting very boring.

There is a lot more to running Great Britain than rape gangs and immigration you fucking clown.

@LizWebsterSBF @AndyBurnhamGM All I heard was Starmer with a northern accent. The same shallow straplines that mean absolutely nothing to the British public.

[Beyond Now @BeyondNow_]

This is exactly why we’re in the mess we’re in. We don’t need another clueless career politician running this country.

Businesses wouldn’t sack someone, and then bring someone who’s the same or arguably worse, in as a replacement. Why does the government?

[Anglo Futurism Capital LP 🇬🇧🐿️ @RollingHedge]

Let’s check his CV shall we?

Burnham’s professional trajectory is entirely inside the Westminster bubble:

1994-97: Researcher to Tessa Jowell MP

1997: Parliamentary officer, NHS Confederation (a few months)

1997-98: Administrator, Football Task Force

1998-2001: Special adviser to Culture Secretary Chris Smith

2001-17: MP for Leigh

2003-05: Parliamentary Private Secretary

2005-06: Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office

2006-07: Minister of State for Health

2007-08: Chief Secretary to the Treasury

2008-09: Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

2009-10: Secretary of State for Health

2010-15: Various shadow cabinet roles under Miliband (Health, Education)

2015-16: Shadow Home Secretary under Corbyn

2010, 2015: Two failed Labour leadership bids (fourth, then second to Corbyn)

2017-present: Mayor of Greater Manchester

No private sector experience, no market-facing role, no operational P&L. Three years of unpaid intern journalism between Cambridge and the Jowell job is the closest he gets to the real economy. Signature mayoral achievement is Bee Network bus franchising. “King of the North” branding crystallised in the October 2020 Tier 3 funding row.

Currently the only UK politician with a net positive polling rating, which is why his name keeps surfacing as the Starmer alternative; though the NEC blocked his 2026 Gorton and Denton by-election bid, and his recent comments on bond markets and defence spending unsettled gilts, tells you all you need to know about the gap between his instincts and the constraints he’d actually inherit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Would be a fucking car crash. Classic. Can’t wait.

@BethRigby Beth, nobody gives a flying fuck about a £5m donation.

@chhcalling It’s genuinely frightening how little intelligence exists within our government

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Can everyone please stop this nonsense about Labour MPs and ministers waiting to hear what @Keir_Starmer says in his big speech at 10am before deciding on his future?

Everyone knows that the PM is supremely incapable of delivering a speech with either the content or passion needed to change his political fortunes.

If he says "more of the same but we need better messaging", he's toast.

If he says "I'm going to change everything", he's admitting he's wasted the last 2 years and he's toast.

Most voters won't be listening anyway. And even if they were, and could survive more than 3 minutes of his nasal tones, they won't believe a single word he says. The polls won't change. He's toast.

[Beyond Now @BeyondNow_]

@PolitlcsUK Drivel and waffle. Nobody is listening.

[Beyond Now @BeyondNow_]

@BWoodzy99 How is this even allowed?

[Ben @BWoodzy99]

This guy is here on a temporary three year student visa. He just won a 5 year term in the Scottish Parliament.

He is currently crowdfunding for another temporary visa

Mental. Absolutely mental

[Beyond Now @BeyondNow_]

@LBC I am fed up of obnoxious media presenters asking what they think are clever questions about Brexit failures.

Farage had literally ZERO control over the success of a post-Brexit Britain. The pro-EU Government wanted it to fail.

The British people understand this.

[Beyond Now @BeyondNow_]

Wales voting in a bloke with literally ZERO leadership experience. But don’t worry, he’s been a reporter.

[Alex Armstrong @Alexarmstrong]

I can’t believe what I’ve just watched.

Socialist teachers who are striking, right in exam mock periods, are being counter protested by very grown up and sensible teenagers DEMANDING that they be taught back in school.

These “teachers” should be ashamed of themselves. Draped in Gaza flags, and flying far-left “Stand Up to Racism” and Unite Union banners outside a school.

Keep your politics out of our schools and DO YOUR JOB.

[David Scott Patterson @davidpattersonx]

If taxes were fair:

You earn $100,000 per year and pay $30,000 in tax.

Your neighbor earns $1,000,000 and pays $300,000 in tax.

Your neighbor is paying 10X more than you.

If taxes were fair, you should both pay $30,000, since you both receive the same government services.
