On my way, Clacton.

To say I’m disappointed in the joint statement by leaders from France, Germany and the UK regarding Operation Epic Fury is an understatement.

It is so sad to see western democracies lose their passion for justice and a sense of right and wrong the further away from their shores the event occurs. Everyone in Europe is rightly impassioned about Russia invading Ukraine. But when it comes to the long suffering people of Iran, Europe has been pathetic.

To the leaders of France, Germany and the UK: the Iranian people are not wrong to demand the end to their oppression from the bloodthirsty ayatollah’s regime that has American and European blood on their hands. You collectively are the ones that are wrong by refusing to come to the Iranian people’s aid and adding insult to injury, you’re suggesting we should continue to negotiate with religious Nazis. It is pathetic. How far Western Europe has fallen.

To the Iranian people: President Trump heard your cries. Help has arrived in large measure.

To our European allies: you have gone pathetically soft and lost your zeal for confronting evil apparently unless it’s on your front porch.

So sad.

@max_usher368753 @Benpagelondon There are a lot of schemes where the residential value of the land is near zero. Land also doesn’t have to become housing - many large developments have been swapped over into distribution centres etc. owners of these sites also tend to be very long term and wait to sell.

[Cladding Jack @CladdingJack]

@Benpagelondon This is compounding the fact it’s uneconomic to build homes at the moment in much of London. If anything development needs to be subsidised but this would be unpopular for politicians to admit. Yes we need more affordable housing but the current method to achieve it is broken.

[Cladding Jack @CladdingJack]

@Benpagelondon Developers also need to make a profit (typically 20%) so the sale prices needed to make developing worthwhile in London currently sit upwards of £750 per square foot. This means that in most areas that aren’t super central, development is not viable.

[Cladding Jack @CladdingJack]

@Benpagelondon To make matters worse, my example assumes a free market without interference. London however has a policy of demanding affordable housing from developers, typically sitting at 35% of any scheme. So a developer then has to build and sell 35% of any scheme at a further loss!

[Looking for Growth @lfg_uk]

Hammersmith Bridge was built by the Victorians for £11m in today's money.

It does not need to cost a QUARTER OF A BILLION, like the Government insist.

We don't need ANOTHER consultation.

We need the bridge REOPENED.

Unemployment rising. What on earth could have caused that? Who could have possibly predicted it?! Oh. All of us.

This is not a mystery. It’s the inevitable result of a government that keeps taxing work and punishing the people who actually create jobs and generate wealth.

OBVIOUSLY.

Treating business as a lemon to squeeze, not a tree to grow.

Employers’ National Insurance - an actual tax on employing people - has risen again and again. You tax employment, unemployment goes up. This is so painfully obvious. How can these useless gnomes not see it?!

Then there’s corporation tax - hiked as well. Business rates that crush high streets. VAT thresholds that trap small firms and discourage growth. Brutal dividend thresholds that mean earning more is often simply not worth it.

Every single one of these is a tax on productivity, a tax on success.

And when you tax something, you get less of it.

Ask any small business owner. They’ll all say the same.

The system DOES NOT work. I’ve built businesses, run businesses. One of the few MPs to do so… If more of us were in Westminster, we may actually get somewhere.

We now have a country where it’s easier and cheaper not to work than to employ or be employed. Easier to sit on your arse doing sod all than actually contributing. If you’re fit to work, you must work. It’s that simple.

You can’t build a vibrant economy on higher taxes, higher regulation, and higher energy costs.

You just can’t. Certainly not with Reeves in charge. She may be a pleasant woman, I don’t know, but she is utterly incompetent. Weak, inept, failing. She must go.

The Treasury’s addiction to taxation is killing the very people it relies on to fund the state.

What can we do to fix it?

- Cut Corporation Tax to the lowest in Europe - send a clear signal that Britain is open for business.
- Undercut our neighbours. Go for their business. Compete against the Europeans. Win.
- Abolish Business Rates entirely for small companies.
- Double the VAT threshold, so small firms aren’t punished for growing.
- Ditch IR35. Immediately.
- Slash NI. Stop taxing jobs.
- Overhaul dividend tax rates. REWARD success!
- Ditch all inheritance tax on businesses/farms, so parents can pass successful firms down to their children.
- Burn red tape - a full review of every employment, HR and health-and-safety regulation that throttles small employers. Look at every single one. If there’s no good reason for it, scrap it.
- Get HMRC to PICK UP THE PHONE.
- Crucially - end the HRification of Britain.

Reward work and remember that real growth comes when government gets out of the way.

This is all possible. Very possible. It can be done and it must be done.

It just takes balls.

🐇 One pair of rabbits reproduce after 1 month.

Every month, each mature pair has another pair.

How many pairs after 1 year?

That’s the medieval puzzle that gave us the Fibonacci Sequence...

Here's the whole story 🧵

If people want to wallow in their own filth at Glastonbury, that's their choice.

However I do not think that millions of Brits should be forced to fund covering the socialist rally through their licence fee.

Cancel the coverage, or defund the entire BBC - either works for me.

[Calgie @christiancalgie]

I’m not a NIMBY so I won’t call for Glastonbury to be denied permission to go ahead in future.

But it is clearly too extremist and political for the BBC to continue broadcasting.

If organisers are happy for it to become a festival of Jew hate it must not be given oxygen.

When is London’s do-nothing mayor going to pull his finger out?

The law-abiding majority are being made to look like mugs while rampant fare-dodging goes unpunished.

Enough is enough.

Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground.

Lawbreaking is out of control.

He's not acting. So, I did.👇

@SauloZ @Kartkaprokai Best so far

[David Collier @mishtal]

We funded this video. We paid for a BBC journo to be in Dearborn - we paid for her to speak to terrorist supporters - and then paid for her crew to mask it all up and pretend we were listening to 'liberal' voices.

There is no excusing this. The BBC is spreading antisemitism.
