8 years ago I was "invited" to a mandatory #PIP assessment after returning the 80-page @DWPgovuk questionnaire with a post-it note saying "As I'm not a salamander my legs haven't grown back."

This is what happened next...

Not only did the Dems not applaud or stand for the stories honoring average Americans but neither did their guests in the gallery.

Even for the most heartwarming moments most stayed seated, very few ever applauded.

It was heart-breaking to see.

The Parable of 10 Men in a Bar

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. ‘Since you are all such good customers,’ he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.’ Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men – the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100%savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

‘I only got a dollar out of the $20,’ declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, ‘but he got $10!’

‘Yeah, that’s right,’ exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I got!’

‘That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!’

‘Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!’

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

Dazzling headlights are now blamed for dozens of crashes a year. The car industry’s obsession with ever-brighter LEDs is responsible for a de facto driving curfew for millions of Britons. The effect is worse in rural areas; hence limited political interest https://t.co/5unVSEqZ3t

Dear young, smart, ambitious Brits. If you can easily leave the UK, do it.

@Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP are planning to move Capital Gains Tax up by nearly double (from 20% to 39%). This means there's almost no point in entrepreneurs or investors taking a risk to build something of value in the UK.

If there is no benefit for taking a risk or for delayed gratification, then progress stops.

The UK government is run by socialists who can't stand anyone becoming successful. They tax you when you earn it, again when you spend it, then when you invest it and if by a miracle you make any gains they want another 39%! They have rigged the system against the hard working, enterprising and growth minded among us.

Money is time. Money directly translates to weeks, months or years of your life. When they tax you 40% they are robbing you of your life from January until May.

They don't give much back in return. The borders aren't secure, the institutions are crumbling, they inflate the currency through rampant government debt. These people give jobs to their mates, almost none of them have been successful in the real world without relying on government money.

Currently the UK economy is 45% Government spending. This is basically socialism and it happened under a Conservative government. Now the country is being run by actual socialists, things are going to get a lot worse for those who create value.

The most patriotic thing you could do is to leave the UK, go overseas and build wealth. When a decent government comes in and lowers taxes and runs the place properly, come back and invest your money into the UK. The country is going off a cliff but you don't have to - the world is a big place, go off and make your fortune somewhere that treats you well.

3/ This year, I made a considered decision to maintain all existing licences for arms exports to Israel. Union-backed civil servants threatened to stop work and go on strike.

My response was not to make concessions but to make it clear that they were there to deliver the government’s agenda. Not their own.

Woke up to Labour winning the UK election. No surprises there.

But you can see the problem with the UK system quite clearly: @Nigel_Farage and @TiceRichard both won their Reform seats.

And @reformparty_uk has 3.3m votes but only 4 seats.

Lib Dem has 2.5m votes but 48 seats.

There is something clearly wrong and it needs to be fixed.
