@paullewismoney @MelJStride Your willingness to use numbers to mislead is pretty astonishing.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@DelDarcoX You don’t think it might have helped to point out that almost nobody would benefit more from sauna than from just increasing the amount of cardio they do?

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

Nah. Just do more cardio.

This is terrible advice.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Sauna is my number one longevity intervention after exercise and diet.

A lot of what happens in the sauna overlaps with what happens during exercise, and sauna can even add to the benefits you’re already getting from exercise, including bigger gains in aerobic fitness and reductions in blood pressure.

Then there’s the long-term data - using the sauna 4 to 7 times weekly is associated with a 40% lower risk of all-cause mortality, a 50% lower risk of cardiovascular-related death, and up to a 66% lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Combined evidence from the physiology, exercise trials, and long-term data is a big part of why I take deliberate heat exposure seriously (and why you should too).

@saiint @StatisticUrban We shouldn’t be paying middle/high earners benefits.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@ContractorCalc So you know it’s not a marginal tax rate. Odd to pretend otherwise.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

Watch everyone gleefully pretend this is a tax rate.

Even the supposedly sane things said about taxation are almost entirely fake.

[Alan Smith @AlanJLSmith]

Marginal tax rate of 2,000% 🤯

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@AaronBastani Regime Bastani once again.

@k3nn3h @joshglancy Why not the people who used it?

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@blairanderson35 Made up facts looks made up.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@DarrenFarr Care to actually disagree or just be unpleasant?

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@ContractorCalc It’s not a marginal tax rate. Think about it.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@NotMyDing Nah. We shouldn’t be paying benefits to middle/high earners. This culture of dependency results in a left-wing slide towards economic collapse.

We should use tax cuts to drive behaviours we want (e.g. having kids).

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@TorstenBell This is truly pathetic. What “fiscal consolidation” have you achieved? You’ve awarded massive public sector pay increases and cranked up spending well beyond our means.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@TorstenBell Easy but untrue. You have.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@ContractorCalc It’s not.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@vulpine2020 It’s insane that we pay benefits to people earning £99,999.99.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@BruceSt22513754 @whippletom @NotMyDing You wouldn’t need to criminalise leaving the house. An actually dangerous disease causes behavioural change through rational self-interest.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@cv_cev @globalhlthtwit Reasonable steps do not include criminalising leaving the house. That used to be consensus until panic struck.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@Mr_Grey_Lives You seem nice.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@ThatMakesSens Ah credentialism. The very best form of argument.

[ORDraper @DraperOr]

@SteelPhysixxx Was the original advice aimed at people who cannot do cardio?
