Burnham has no manifesto.

No mandate.

Just 0.03% of the British people voted for him.

WE NEED A GENERAL ELECTION NOW!

Capitalism believes in you and your ability.

Communism believes you are incapable and unable.

[Jonathan Smith @Fiat__Justitia]

In the United Kingdom, we’ve managed to achieve communism for 95% of the population.

If you have kids, unless you earn more than £80,000 gross, you have the same quality of life as those on benefits.

And the government managed it without a revolution.

Incredible really.

Activist: "You should replace your cattle with plant crops."

Farmer: "Such as?"

Activist: "Wheat."

Farmer: "Thirty-degree slope. The tractor would be in the hedge by lunchtime."

Activist: "Soy, then."

Farmer: "Soy likes hot summers and warm nights. This is Cumbria. The soy would sit in the rain for a month, sulk, and die confused."

Activist: "Quinoa."

Farmer: "Quinoa grows at altitude in the Andes on thin dry soil. My altitude's right. Everything else is wrong. The sheep next door would write a strongly worded letter."

Activist: "Lentils. Chickpeas."

Farmer: "Both Mediterranean. This field had eleven inches of rain in August. They'd drown standing up."

Activist: "Vegetables. Carrots."

Farmer: "Carrots need deep, sandy, stone-free soil. This is clay with rocks the size of footballs. The carrot would meet the rock, give up, and grow sideways out of spite."

Activist: "There must be something."

Farmer: "There is. It's grass. Grew here on its own. Asks for nothing. Feeds something that turns it into food. The field decided this long before I got here."

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Why socialism can never work:

Econ 101: if you penalize something, you get less off it; if you reward something, you get more of it.

Socialism penalizes success and rewards freeloading.

Quod erat demonstrandum

[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

The socialism vs capitalism debate is mostly a question of who you trust more with capital allocation:
- People risking their own money
- Politicians spending yours

A few sub-questions:
- Do you think capitalists or politicians allocate resources better?
- Do you think the pie is fixed, or can the pie grow?
- Do you think more regulation increases freedom, or suppresses it?

To be fair, free-range capitalism can absolutely become the Greed Olympics. Even capitalist systems need courts, laws, property rights, zoning, monetary policy, etc.
But when government over-regulates, everyone can lose.

Example: a sunny town called Freedopolis elects a new mayor who runs on cheaper rent and stronger tenant protections. There are more tenants than landlords, so he wins in a landslide.
He passes rent control. Landlords can’t raise rent much, and evicting someone for not paying takes a year.
Immediately, landlords don’t want to risk it and become insanely picky. They require huge deposits, perfect credit, stable employment, references, a clean background check, a perfect BMI and sleep score.
They also set initial rents higher because they know they’re locked in forever. Some stop renting altogether and just let relatives live there.

Result: rent goes up, inventory goes down, and getting an apartment in Freedopolis is nearly impossible.
The mayor says: “Fine, the government will build affordable housing.”

The city hires consultants. The consultants make plans. City planning agency reviews the plans. Everyone bills hourly. The city pays for the back and forth. Two years later, they produce a 900-page plan they could finally agree on.
Then they run a tender process. No serious builder bids because the plan is obviously impossible.
So the mayor calls in a favor with his brother’s construction company to take on the job nobody wants.
The brother says: “I’ll do it, but only cost-plus, and we need flexibility because your plan appears to be ambiguous.”
Now there’s a Bermuda Triangle of consultants, contractors, and permitting agencies emailing each other “just circling back” on the taxpayer dollar.

Then they notice lawsuits piling up. Neighbors sue because shadows. Activists sue because vibes. A guy with a Substack sues because the building is colonialist. Someone claims ancestral rights to the parking lot.
The city settles with everyone.
The budget is now 5x.

Eventually, after spending 10x, the shiny new affordable apartment building opens.
The mayor announces: “No credit checks. No employment checks. No sleep-score discrimination. Housing is a human right.”

At first, 100 normal young workers move in.
Alongside with 30 thugs.
The workers start moving out. More thugs move in.
Police stop coming.
Now nobody wants to live near the building. Rent in the remaining normal neighborhoods skyrockets.

The mayor declares a housing crisis caused by capitalism and proposes a new tax on anyone renting out their apartments or owning luxury property (which is by now any property not next to the mayor’s affordable housing project).

Next episode: Freedopolis builds a government grocery store to make bananas cheaper.

@Keir_Starmer Speaking on behalf of the British people, we all think you’re doing a crap job.

[Sophie Corcoran @sophielouisecc]

one quarter of the UK workforce have post-tax earnings lower than many benefit claimants

There is no defending this.
It is utterly utterly unfair

[Alice Smith @TheAliceSmith]

Why don’t socialists just go off and do their socialism somewhere to show us how brilliant it is?

Oh, because they can’t create any wealth to redistribute, and their workers have no incentives, and they can’t calculate prices.

But apart from that…

You can always tell who played sports & who didn’t

Sport reveals early how unforgiving real life is

It rewards only the scoreboard, never effort

There’s no shortcuts to skill, pressure exposes winners from losers & excuses will never change outcomes

The IMF just ranked Britain the worst performing major economy on the planet.

Not a war torn nation.

Not a failed state.

Britain.

Twenty five years of open borders, net zero ideology, DEI over defence and spending money we do not have.

They did this to us.

Not Putin. Not Trump. Not global headwinds.

The people we elected.

Every single one of them.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been nominated to the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament and terrorism prevention.
The British government, of course, did not object to Iran’s appointment — even though the Iranian regime has been massacring thousands and thousands of protestors this year.
At least it shows satire is not dead.

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

I’m genuinely struggling to understand this.

Ye is banned from the UK for saying offensive things.

Meanwhile, a former ISIS terrorist, Ahmed al-Sharaa was shaking hands with Keir Starmer and King Charles III last week.

One said mean things.
The other chopped heads off.

This does not make sense.
