I know this isn’t a silver bullet. It might help some people find cheaper fuel, but it doesn’t mean that’s all we’re doing to help people with the cost of living.

We’re cutting VAT on electricity bills. Capping bus fares at £2 in England. Giving disabled people 24/7 free bus travel. Making it easier to cancel subscriptions. Cutting business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues. Stopping schools from demanding endless expensive branded uniforms. Ensuring if your train is cancelled, you can use your ticket on other operators free of charge. Fuel duty is staying frozen to the end of the year.

Yes, on their own, I accept that these things don’t seem like much when people’s lives have gotten harder. There’s a lot still to do.

But I won’t shy away from the big issues either. It’s why I made announcements last week on more public control of water, energy, and housing, to make the basics better for people long-term.

Together, these changes add up, and no matter how small it may seem, I will pull every single lever I can to help people, whenever I can.

I have every episode of hoarders

I give out free menswear advice. As a result, I've received about a hundred emails in the last three years from people who shared their wedding-day photos and said they incorporated my advice. They all look fantastic — truly like a million, billion bucks. It makes me happy that they will look back on those photos and smile for decades to come, knowing they looked perfect.

Additionally, because I put information out for free—never hawking it through some paid subscription newsletter or "buy my supplements" scam, like most influencers—I've been fortunate to grow a sizable audience. I've used this audience to raise over $100k for various animal welfare organizations, which is a cause I care about.

Thus, by helping people get married, I've indirectly improved the birthrate in this country and employed some tailors in the process. This, in turn, has helped me raise money for animals. Unlike Jake Paul, I've never used my platform to enrich or aggrandize myself.

@LeakBot_HQ I'm trying to get hold of someone to talk to for a feature in Tech Radar on InsurTech. Can someone there help please?

@World0fEcho Has nobody said "Division Bell" yet?!

Are cricketers the only people still going to nightclubs?

@Nigel_Farage 🤣

Eh?

Thank you @CountBinface, we'll take it from here.

Don’t worry if your A level results are a bit disappointing. I got a C and two Us. And during the World Cup I got 123,000 likes on a tweet calling Enzo Fernandez a cunt and earned £7.55

Checkmate, Nige.

[Sam @SamCKx]

There was a time when I didn’t know who Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe, Lee Anderson, Richard Tice, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Zia Yusuf, Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins, Laurence Fox and Adam Brooks were.

And I really took that for granted.

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

What’s that, @DaleVince? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.

[Florence Lox 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @floboflo]

Would love it if Starmer got his job back as head of the CPS and got Farage, Lowe and Robinson put in jail
