Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm show on Amazon is the most radicalizing piece of mainstream media I’ve ever seen

Just one example (bear with me):

Badgers became a protected species in Britain 40+ years ago.

The population has exploded and now frequently transmits tuberculosis to cows

But farmers can’t cull the badger population to protect their cattle because the government still considers them to be endangered

Instead of addressing the root cause, the UK has the most batshit testing regime for cattle

There’s no TB vaccine. So the cattle have to get tested. The vets administering the test have to measure welts on the cows neck. Whether a cow lives or dies comes down to a vet trying to discern 1mm on a caliper (reactive vs non reactive).

If a cow tests positive, the farm (already running on super thin margins) is quarantined and starts hemorrhaging money.

Jeremy Clarkson’s cow (pregnant with twins) has an inconclusive test so it’s separated from the herd. It receives a second inconclusive test so they have to kill it (before it can give birth to the twins).

Now here’s the kicker: the autopsy reveals no sign of TB. It was a healthy cow needlessly killed

So - silver lining the farm should be removed from quarantine, right? WRONG - it’s still under quarantine and has to keep testing and can’t sell its beef

Kafkaesque doesn’t even begin to describe how f’d up it is for British farmers

Why is the left completely silent when a 12-year-old girl is repeatedly raped by a group of foreign men, yet completely outraged because a man with Tourette’s shouted something beyond his control?

anyone who has a vested interested in families having more children should be championing WFH policies. 

not having a commute, being able to turn on a crockpot, moving laundry over between meetings, not having to take PTO because a kid got sick...life changing.

this needs to be a cultural change to the system, not individual companies deciding if they want to be "family friendly."

Rupert Lowe is by far the best MP in the country. It’s a shame that Reform treated him so badly.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Unemployment rising. What on earth could have caused that? Who could have possibly predicted it?! Oh. All of us.

This is not a mystery. It’s the inevitable result of a government that keeps taxing work and punishing the people who actually create jobs and generate wealth.

OBVIOUSLY.

Treating business as a lemon to squeeze, not a tree to grow.

Employers’ National Insurance - an actual tax on employing people - has risen again and again. You tax employment, unemployment goes up. This is so painfully obvious. How can these useless gnomes not see it?!

Then there’s corporation tax - hiked as well. Business rates that crush high streets. VAT thresholds that trap small firms and discourage growth. Brutal dividend thresholds that mean earning more is often simply not worth it.

Every single one of these is a tax on productivity, a tax on success.

And when you tax something, you get less of it.

Ask any small business owner. They’ll all say the same.

The system DOES NOT work. I’ve built businesses, run businesses. One of the few MPs to do so… If more of us were in Westminster, we may actually get somewhere.

We now have a country where it’s easier and cheaper not to work than to employ or be employed. Easier to sit on your arse doing sod all than actually contributing. If you’re fit to work, you must work. It’s that simple.

You can’t build a vibrant economy on higher taxes, higher regulation, and higher energy costs.

You just can’t. Certainly not with Reeves in charge. She may be a pleasant woman, I don’t know, but she is utterly incompetent. Weak, inept, failing. She must go.

The Treasury’s addiction to taxation is killing the very people it relies on to fund the state.

What can we do to fix it?

- Cut Corporation Tax to the lowest in Europe - send a clear signal that Britain is open for business.
- Undercut our neighbours. Go for their business. Compete against the Europeans. Win.
- Abolish Business Rates entirely for small companies.
- Double the VAT threshold, so small firms aren’t punished for growing.
- Ditch IR35. Immediately.
- Slash NI. Stop taxing jobs.
- Overhaul dividend tax rates. REWARD success!
- Ditch all inheritance tax on businesses/farms, so parents can pass successful firms down to their children.
- Burn red tape - a full review of every employment, HR and health-and-safety regulation that throttles small employers. Look at every single one. If there’s no good reason for it, scrap it.
- Get HMRC to PICK UP THE PHONE.
- Crucially - end the HRification of Britain.

Reward work and remember that real growth comes when government gets out of the way.

This is all possible. Very possible. It can be done and it must be done.

It just takes balls.

[Lostintranslation @Sonny496]

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes This is unbelievable. So now we are going to be taxed for saving into our pension pots and then taxed again when we draw down the income in retirement.

Why do Labour always punish the people who want to be responsible for themselves?

[Rob Moore @robprogressive]

In the U.K. you are REWARDED for not working with benefits & a house 

You are given asylum in a nice hotel with a Playstation & a bike 

But if you work hard you are PUNISHED with 20% VAT, 25% corp tax & 45% income tax

If you employ you are punished with 15% national insurance 

If you build a legacy you are punished with 40% inheritance tax

Glastonbury it’s so incredible to be back, thank you so much for having me x

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

So vulnerable. So oppressed. So determined to break the law by continuing to invade women's spaces. And being cheered on by Maggie Chapman MSP of the Scottish Greens, who is one of our most enthusiastic anti-women legislators.

Mind you, the worst crime here is that skirt.

[Jody McIntyre @jodymcintyre_]

Important to remember that refuse workers are striking against a pay CUT, not even for a rise. I wonder if Birmingham councillors or MPs would agree to take a similar cut? We are all in this together, right?

Is Labour land grabbing the farmers for Blackrock & Bill Gates?…

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

▪️Inheritance tax on family farms
▪️Compulsory purchase of land
▪️No new applications for SFI

The Labour government are wilfully trying to destroy the farming industry. Shameful.

Apple is taking Keir Starmer’s government to court over the insane overreach that puts British people’s privacy a risk.

Apple will have done more to protect your right to privacy than any government in almost 20 years.

Thank you Apple.

[Concerned Citizen @BGatesIsaPyscho]

🚨 Wow - Listen to The Crowd erupt with applause as Danny Dyer calls out Keir Starmer at the Brit Awards 2025 ‼️

Jack Whitehall:- “who would win Twat of the Year?”

Danny Dyer:- “There’s so many - the World is being run by cranks at the moment so obviously Keir Starmer - He’s a Slag”

The Host is clearly panicked by this response - Absolutely Fantastic Stuff 👏

UK government money laundering is being exposed.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The British people are my boss, and the boss of every single MP.

We are ALL there to serve YOU, supposedly.

Government needs to treat your tax with FAR more respect.

It is very easy to waste other people's money...
