@Gribnib @Number10cat Astute observation

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@Marv147 @C_W_Y68 @sophielouisecc Chris has a ‘decent’ level of income but he has the awareness, coupled with the hurt that they would like another child but cannot afford it, in part, due to tax rises taking money from him to give to families who already have 3 or more - surely you can empathise?

@Number10cat @PressSec Oh Larry, you’ve had a bit of a mare with this post. Embarrassed for you. 🙀

@grok @TWrodbrochen @JordanMuir91 @russellquirk @RachelReevesMP Fair enough. That’s what I meant about resilience - the markets ‘reacted’, they should have ‘responded’. A more measured & balanced response would have negated the need for such a dramatic intervention.

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@TWrodbrochen @JordanMuir91 @russellquirk @RachelReevesMP @grok - I’m curious about this perspective, can you share any insights? I believe it was an ‘announcement’ of intentions, not actual implementation. Should the markets not have exercised more resilience to this?

@AJamesMcCarthy @MissionUniX Imagine unfollowing for that reason 🤦‍♂️ It’s their loss, not yours.

@elonmusk Brilliant news #banadhashtags

@SkyNews How Prison officers aren’t provided with stab vests defies logic. I’d like to see the risk assessment for Prison Officers working in maximum security prisons… Surely one of the more significant threats is getting stabbed. Stab vests would be an obvious prevention barrier.

@Missgabillard @Rombodog @ProudScot1 @ScotNational Interesting reaction, Joanna. The views expressed above aren’t exactly radical, yet your response is simply: move country. That feels remarkably intolerant and dismissive of differing opinions.

@ScotNational Kirkcudbright bridge should be on that list - the town is split in two.

@RandomTheGuy_ @MattWallace888 That’s funny!

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@_HistoryNerd Looks fairly formal I’d say. Enjoyed reading your thread though!

@SkyNews So not too far off from what Rishi Sunak warned us all about if Labour came to power. ‘Its in their DNA’

@LBC So not too far off from what Rishi Sunak warned us all about if Labour came to power.

@bmay Positive news about defence spending however I notice he’s gone rather quiet about the £22b black hole.

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@SEANIE123456789 @LBCNews And we have been locked in a perpetual state of paralysis over a single runway. Sums us up. The rest of the world is moving at pace.

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@justdave89now @elonmusk Except you’re wrong.

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@blueorigin BOOSTER: Ok, im on my way….looking good…on my way….all systems nominal…looking good, looki

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@ScotNational Is this meant to be funny?

[Ben Wood 🙋‍♂️ @benjames2002]

@ScotNational Scotland has never been so distant from the prospect of independence. Rather like staring at a faint star in a remote galaxy through a telescope.
