Rule of 72.
No, I am not talking about ROI.
It’s helpful to resist the urge to tweet etc about every sensitive / topical / trending topic in the first 72 hours.
@afalli Sad. The SA Government isn't doing enough to solve the root causes of the brewing anger / xenophobia.
Economic despair is widespread & manifesting.
One of the most selfless people in the UK. We love you Martin and want you to be running the country. You speak for the voiceless & advocate for all things good. Thank you.
No, I won't be standing in Clacton!
A few people have suggested me as a unity candidate in the by-election today (including the News Agents pod apparently).
It's flattering, thank you, but I'd rather have month-long un-anesthetised root canal work than get engaged in party politics.
It's for people with far thicker skin than me, and I think my independence from all parties is important.
@afalli It ensures that the kids get a meal. The govt can monitor their health/ protect them from abuse. The parents can have time to apply for a (better) job. Those who work & still qualify for benefits can get that relief to work more hours or rest.
You’re supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Connections, looks; money, all of it.
You're not noble by picking the hardest path just to look like an underdog.

HMRC moved to offices owned by a Tory Donor, registered in a Tax Haven.

HMRC enables tax evasion for the rich.
The "business model" is the same. The shirts, hi-vis & wristbands etc are all for sale. Ripping off the poorest members. The GO will soon join the private jet / university owning geng. I wonder if that church that banned TV in those days has withdrawn the ban? Sad stuff.
This man (Prince Adeniyi Matthew) created a fake government agency called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, appointed himself as DG, secured office space at the Federal Secretariat, opened a CBN account in its name, got N1,302,978,784 allocation in 2026 budget, summoned ambassadors to meetings, held strategic sessions with ministers, and even represented Nigeria at international conferences.
The audacity is almost unbelievable. Nigeria never runs short of ‘yan iska.
