Some very sad news to bring you.
Liverpool and Portugal footballer Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva have died in a car crash in Spain.
Our thoughts are with their family and friends.
BREAKING NEWS:
Desperately sad news coming out of Spain that Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota, 28, has died, along with his brother, in a car accident in Zamora. He only got married 2 weeks ago. Heart-breaking. 💔
@FT It’s a start. But clearly doesn’t go far enough. We need to ask what incentives are guiding the people who are updating the rules and allowing a lot of these roles to remain on the list.
This is going to be incredibly unpopular with the chattering classes but this entire Rachel Reeves sop fest is exactly why this country is screwed.
We used to have politicians who fought in wars like Churchill or faced relentless criticism for making important and difficult decisions with grace and charm like Thatcher.
Now we have people crying on the front bench because "according to several of her allies the Speaker had been abrupt with the chancellor in a meeting before Prime Minister's Questions."
Oh God, he wasn't "abrupt" with her, was he? Fuck my life.
I do not want people holding the great offices of state who can't handle the pressure. This is absolutely pathetic and all of you who are encouraging this are complicit in the continued elevation of mediocrities to positions of power.
@tomhfh@the_tpa@thetimes These are symptoms of shoddy legislation. In this case isn't it The Care Act (2014) and ‘parity of esteem’… the Uniparty in action and the Tories complicit.

A direct comparison of the house building rules and regulations by country is an obvious next step. My hypothesis is that we have far more of them and hence the comparison would allow us to use the 80/20 rule to great effect. Obviously with the necessary political will to deliver follow on execution: repeal, revise legislation, delete the 20% of rules and regulations causing 80% of the problems and delays.
@ZiaYusufUK If it encourages more people to invest in cheap global equity trackers in a stocks and shares ISA then it is ok. Cash ISAs are not the way to generate wealth at scale.
Watch the jobs disappear - outsourced, automated, or never created in the first place. Who on earth would want to invest and employ staff in Britain under this socialist, anti- business government?
The rise of socialist politicians is not the problem, it's a symptom. And until the real problems are addressed, it’s Mamdanis all the way down.

Londoners are paying an estimated £216 extra a month in rent because of immigration levels since 2001.
Across England that figure is approximately £132.
Mass migration is making young people poorer.
Higher taxes do not solve fiscal problems, they just reduce growth potential. Structural reforms and deregulation reduce fiscal imbalances. Why do socialists always choose higher taxes?
isn’t this a somewhat inevitable unintended consequence of the “broken social contract”? a consequence Peter Thiel highlighted in 2020 in dialogue with Zuck and co. Here in the UK we have had (and it still continues at pace):
1) the Uniparty politicians bribing elderly voters
2) unfetted spending on immigration
3) the incumbents (boomers) blocking new entrants at all stages of their lives
