Ranting medical doctor

@CptHastings1916 He's not permanently disqualified though is he, that's a straw man.

The Conservative party has decided he shouldn't run for this particular election, which was a purely political decision based (presumably) on their perceived reputation for integrity on matters of anti-semitism.

@RozzaNotTaken @spinningjoe Interpol actually invented rock and roll music in 2002

@bowtiedgerman Late teens-early twenties are equally formative if not more so

@navneet_rabdiya @arram Faster but still slow

Recurring vibe-coding experience:
"Can you make me a demo"
> One-shots incredible demo that's 75% what I want.
"Can you fix x y z details?"
> Six hours later and every iteration is worse.

@helen_said_this @tweet_amulya L take.

We all know the new guy is gonna end up getting whacked or whatever we're not watching it for that.

Each of those "repetitive" plots reveals something new about Tony and his relationships. The characters develop. Plus it's funny.

@Ch1canerous @shriverist Yeah it is

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@shriverist Lennon* ffs

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@shriverist Preferring George is the edge lord take, always has been.

ATMP is massively overrated, too. It's a 7.5/10, Lenton and McCartney both produced better solo albums

One of the most interesting parts of the Jason Arday story - his upcoming book seems to be heavily promoted in the USA, and was co-written with a US-based ghost writer.

I guess the plan was to turn him from UK academic to global star.

@IxIWallisIxI @FPL_JD @ltfckieren Because his back leg then comes off the ground you wally.

How does he manage that without standing on the ball with his front leg? Has he learnt to fly?

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@Layo_FH @ijsimo25 Yellow card?

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

Two things if they do this:

1. It must be cost-neutral for those repaying student loans. Tricky maths but we simply cannot accept marginal rates of >50% for those on only 50K

2. It must be applied to all income including pensions, i.e. not just "workers"

EXC: Officials have worked up plans for a new 1.8% income tax to fund Andy Burnham’s social care reforms.

The Health Department is looking at proposals by Re:State, a Burnham-linked think tank, which suggests a new “social insurance” model.

Civil servants commissioned expert advice on the idea after access talks with Burnham’s team.

The plan would involve mandatory contributions on income over £6,240 for workers over the age of 34.

The money would be invested and used to pay for the care of each cohort when they reach old age, and would be topped up by contributions from wealthier pensioners.

No10 says Burnham won’t decide how to fund his plans until after an accelerated Casey review is published, but this idea is in the mix — alongside the “death tax” estate levy reported last week.

@ryan_murton @OCk78285 @legocrankykong @andrew_lilico What do you mean? I'm telling you how it is Ryan, millionaires use the NHS for emergency care, funded by general taxation.

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@ryan_murton @OCk78285 @legocrankykong @andrew_lilico It's not bingo, it's bollocks.

There is next to zero private emergency care available in the UK.

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@ollyscargill Young people without student loans are not "taxed to oblivion" by international standards.

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@mactellomckeown @Altymcaltalt3 Huge impacts on the NHS, too.

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@carlfhoward @andrew_lilico Yes. We are undertaxed compared to some European neighbours

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@carlfhoward @andrew_lilico Still seems fairer to pay for social care through taxes and separately also tax assets more than we currently do

We don't say people should sell their house to pay their health costs, why should it be different for social care?

[Gentleman @StoVuno]

@cristo_radio The point of a land value tax is to stop houses sitting empty and stop land and property being underused in general
