In the UK, the worse things get, the stronger the support for bad ideas becomes. The electorate need to understand why things are getting worse and what it would take to grow the economy and resolve the situation for the prosperity of everyone.

Jamie Carragher on Japan leaving their World Cup dressing room spotless after the match:

🗣️ “I have to say, this deserves just as much attention as anything that happened on the pitch tonight. Everyone talks about goals, assists, and tactics, but this tells you everything about the culture of that team.

When I saw the dressing room, I honestly couldn't believe it. After ninety minutes of football, emotions running high, and a dramatic result, they still left the place looking like nobody had even been there.

People might look at it and think it's a small thing. It isn't. Small habits reveal big character. Respect doesn't only show itself during the national anthem or after the final whistle. It shows itself when nobody is watching.

That's what impresses me about Japan. They don't clean the dressing room because FIFA tells them to. They do it because it's who they are.

In football today, we're constantly hearing players talk about professionalism. Well, this is professionalism. Not social media posts. Not interviews. Actions.

And if I'm being honest, there are a lot of teams with bigger reputations that could learn something from this.

The scary thing is that this mentality often translates onto the pitch. Teams that respect every detail usually don't stop at cleaning dressing rooms—they respect every pass, every tackle, every minute of the game.

That's why people around the world keep talking about Japan. Not because they're trying to get attention, but because they keep earning it. In a tournament full of stars, they've managed to remind everyone that class doesn't always come from what you do with the ball it comes from how you carry yourself when the game is over.”

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

@JohnHealey_MP You are a decent and honorable man.

🚨 WOW. Argentina's right-wing President Javier Milei SLASHED his country's debts by -$54B, carried out the largest peacetime spending cut in history, purged DEI and fraud, and got 12 MILLION off poverty

What a success story! 🇺🇸🇦🇷

Britain already controls nearly £500bn in Local Government Pension assets, yet it is split across 98 separate funds with duplicated costs and no unified national investment strategy.

We should consolidate this in to a British Sovereign Wealth Fund, professionally managed with a clear mandate: deliver strong long-term returns while backing Britain’s economic renewal.

With a 6.5% target return, it could generate around £25bn a year for reinvestment into strategic industries, domestic energy, housing and infrastructure.

That is how serious nations build long-term wealth and economic security.

Another significant defection. As one of the Brexit Spartans back in 2019, Braverman was responsible in no small part for saving the country from May’s Withdrawal Agreement. She will be an asset to Reform.

Donald Trump is wrong. For 20 years our armed forces fought bravely alongside America's in Afghanistan.

Since Labour came to power there are roughly 200,000 more people unemployed, 1 million more people on welfare without work requirements, 80,000 more young people not in education, employment, or training, 62,000 more people working in the public sector and 50,000 more illegal immigrants

“When we joined the EEC in 1972, its six members accounted for 28 per cent of global GDP. Today, all 27 EU members account for 14 per cent. What will that figure be ten years from now?,” writes @DanielJHannan.

When Tory MPs are comparing millions of hardworking, tax-paying Brits who just want control of their borders and to live in a country that treats them with respect to the Nazi party you know what they really think. I will never vote Tory again. The Boriswave was it for me.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,

We will remember them."

These are the questions we now ask in the United Kingdom:

How many prisoners did the state accidentally release today?

How many illegal migrants entered our country on small boats today?

How many women and girls were sexually assaulted today by foreigners today?

And by how much is the government about to raise my taxes to pay for this complete insanity?
