Politics and F1.
You'll hear me shouting into the void a lot about these things

@AdamantxYves @gaywonk 😅

It's more that they won't waste money on performative nonsense, like £1.6Bn on the Bibby Stockholm or £700M on the Rwanda scheme

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@AdamantxYves @gaywonk So do I, and I agree they are far more right wing than I want.

But they at least aren't only dealing in sound-bites and grandstanding idiotic policies like the Rwanda asylum seeker nonsense.

@AdamantxYves @gaywonk Whether she will do anything to help the Palestinian people, I don't know - but right now I think a focus on domestic issues will do her well in the election.

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@AdamantxYves @gaywonk I'm British and am glad to say we just got rid of a right wing government that has been leaning in to the Republican playbook of racism, misogyny , and zero policy.

The Labour party did a good job of not giving any ammunition to the right wing. I think Harris is doing the same.

@AdamantxYves @gaywonk "Carrot is potato"

Makes as much sense mate

@tomhfh Maybe it's the fun people who like to get away from the loud music to somewhere they can chat?

If pubs voted their outdoor areas as an extension of their floorspace, not just "the smoking area", maybe they would be even more utilised?

@womenpostingws I gave very similar advice to a girl at a sports club yesterday after she'd been followed at a train station.

Most older women have been through this sort of shit, and most aren't putting up with it any more.

@peterjhasson @FreeBeacon @SaysSimonson @ChuckRossDC Oh man, thanks for raising this important point - when I applied for my Senior Engineer role I forgot to mention the job I had selling ice-cream at a safari park one summer as a student.

My boss probably wouldn't have hired me if he knew! 😅😅

@disappoptimism Is Stew under the impression that the planes that attacked New York were still flyable after hitting the twin towers?

@oldfarmhorace @daveoneillsf @timolarch This is an interesting one, because it less to questions about fair compensation for your work. I like to think if I was running a company that was making billions in profit per year, I would pay my staff a salary that enables them to live comfortably, not just min wage.

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@oldfarmhorace @timolarch Interesting to hear (pinch of salt for AI generated answers), I wouldn't have guessed it was so high. Does make you think about how strongly economic confidence is affected by that 10%!

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@oldfarmhorace @timolarch Do you have any stats for the proportion of new money created through government spending compared to banking loans? I googled it a few days ago but couldn't find clear data.

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@oldfarmhorace @timolarch Capitalism is great so long as the wealth created is not disproportionately locked up in savings.

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@oldfarmhorace @timolarch It's not 'working' anywhere.

Most money is not invested in new businesses; they are putting it in stocks for companies that contribute little to society apart from delivering a dividend or share price gain for the people who already have money.

@LoveIntegrity9 @BBCNewsnight I don't get supporting Palestine but not Ukraine.

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@BladeoftheS Rwanda are looking to host F1, so all is not lost... 🙄

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@matnewts @newt7215 FWIW the Zoe got 5 stars in 2013.

The latest NCAP zero stars is because the driver collision avoidance assists are not standard features and NCAP now says they have to be mandatory.

It's a very political score by NCAP...

@Hedgewood14 @RyansUnfiltered I hereby cordially invite you for afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace, on Thursday 29th August at 3pm.

You have no need to show ID to the police on the gate. It is my right as an Englishman to invite you, and no one can question this.

[Jonathan Wingfield @Jonty_W]

@Sickboy_Mcsatan @brrrake 10 years earlier than that, it would have been a cool couple of years and great for your CV.

But with a young family I think you made the right choice.
