Somebody has to be the richest person on the planet.

The fact that it’s the guy who popularized electric cars, made rockets reusable, and is working on curing blindness and paraplegia as a side quest seems fair to me.

Jim Allister: "What will be done to stop the importation of an alien culture that thinks it's appropriate to try and behead someone?"

Hilary Benn: "I'm sorry the honourable gentleman used the term 'alien culture', because what exactly is he referring to?"

"You are not likely to see Henry Nowak’s words stenciled on a mural. No corporation will change its logo. The same establishment that made a few words immortal when spoken by a black man in Minneapolis has met the same words, spoken by a white boy dying on a British street, with what can only be described as a determined, institutional silence. That silence is not neutral. It is a statement. It tells you exactly whose suffering the system has decided counts, and whose does not."

There is a pretty embarrassing video going around showing Gary Stevenson aka "Gary's Economics" misunderstanding how basic taxation works.

The truth is he is a product of elite universities that teach a broken form of economics. It is effectively pseudoscience designed to transfer wealth from the poor and middle classes to the rich through monetary debasement, which you experience as inflation.

Rather than tackling the root cause of inequality, which is broken money, Gary pushes for higher taxation and backs a communist-lite party in the Greens.

Academia and the intelligentsia are captured by this pseudoscience and have led Britain to economic misery.

Economic degrees from elite universities should be rendered defunct.

Ask me how I know.

When will @garyseconomics and @ZackPolanski do an interview on economics?

Surely if they believe in their model, they should welcome an interview with someone who disagrees with them.

Should be a walk in the park.

@Glinner What a mong.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

It's amazing that the entire British media and political establishment will spend weeks obsessing over how exactly a paedophile's best friend was appointed by our government, while completely ignoring the fact that the government is destroying our economy through Net Zero, bankrupting the country through welfarism and punitive taxation and disarming the country by failing to fund the military despite repeated warnings from senior military figures.

This obsession with trivia is partly human nature, of course. But it's also a dereliction of duty and a reflection of just how unserious our entire political class has become.

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

Every day I hate our government a little more.

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

FYI, Bitcoin fixes all of this.

What's fascinating is that in his reply Starmer doesn't even try to challenge the claim Radcliffe made.

The response to "mass uncontrolled immigration is bad" is not even "mass uncontrolled immigration is good", it's "yes, but you're a bad person for noticing".

[Lawrence Lepard, "fix the money, fix the world" @LawrenceLepard]

what is the fundamental value of a monetary unit that cannot be debased, can be stored for free, and transferred within minutes without an intermediary?

the number go up feature is not the real use case. that is more just a function of fiat is dying. DM me a mailing address and I will send you a free copy of my book. It will help.

@Keir_Starmer Bhalfing Bariffs on Bhisky! Bahh @BrianBadonde

Net Zero is economic suicide. It must go.

I’ve received some questions about what we mean, in our National Security Strategy, when we invoke “civilizational” concerns. So I’m tweeting a relevant news item.

[A View From Yorkshire @models_by_Russ]

I’m sat in the pub, scrolling X — which I know is basically like drinking lighter fluid and wondering why your throat’s on fire — but even allowing for inflation and algorithmic hysteria, I’m getting genuinely angry at the country I live in. Every other post is either “prepare for war with Russia,” “food bills up again,” “energy prices rising (again),” or two-tier policing and justice so obvious it’s stopped pretending to be accidental.

And presiding over all of this is Old Keef — yes, Keir Starmer — apparently positioning himself to quietly, politely, responsibly hand the whole bloody country back to the EU while insisting it’s “not rejoining, just aligning,” in the same way jumping back into an ex’s bed is apparently “just a cuddle.”

Ninety-five percent of MPs lie as easily as they blink. The remaining five percent either get smeared, silenced, or politely ignored. The opposition doesn’t oppose — it manages decline, nods along, and offers the political equivalent of a shrug and a laminated leaflet. Nothing is challenged. Nothing is fixed. Everything is “complex,” except the bills landing on kitchen tables.

Families are struggling. Not “tightening belts,” not “adjusting expectations” — struggling. Food shops are now tactical operations. Energy bills read like ransom notes. And while this is happening, Parliament debates absolute bollocks as if the country isn’t creaking at the seams.

We get a bit of snow — not a blizzard, not the Ice Age, just a Yorkshire inconvenience — and the nation panics. Schools shut, shelves empty, chaos everywhere. Meanwhile Icelandic countries carry on functioning like adults because they still understand preparation, resilience, and not losing their collective shit at the first sign of adversity.

So what the fuck happened to us?

This is a country that endured the Blitz, rationing, blackouts, strikes, winters that actually tried to kill you. A country built on grit, dark humour, and the refusal to be cowed. People spilled blood for this place — not so future governments could outsource sovereignty by stealth while telling us it’s for our own good.

I used to love this country. Truly love it.
Now I’m watching it being hollowed out by liars, cowards, managerial politicians, and a public class trained to accept less and clap politely while it happens.

The problem isn’t Russia.
It isn’t the weather.
It isn’t even the economy.

The problem is we’ve forgotten who the hell we are — and the people in charge are banking on us never remembering.

@maxcashstacking What can you do with cashflow? Anything you want! What do you reckon on this @TodayWaypa ?

Lots of people puzzled by what Trump's up to but it'll all become clear when he takes Kamchatka

[Dan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Kingbingo_]

@RachelReevesMP Its actually just debasement of currency because you can't stop spending.
