my own views.

[David Vance @DavidVance]

UK 10 year gilts are now over 5%.
Under Liz Truss, they spiked around 4.5% and the media had a meltdown and demanded she resign.
Under Burnham, the media are silent on the issue.
You can’t hate the media enough.

[Mel Stride MP @MelJStride]

BREAKING: ONS confirms UK national debt is now almost £3 trillion!

We spend more just on the interest than we do on defence, police, and prisons combined.

But Labour will just keep tapping the nation's credit card, even with the bailiffs at the door.

Burnham yesterday

“I may not have the cash to fulfil the rough sleepers promise at Xmas that I said I would make happen”

Burnham today

“ I want to give an extra £13 billion in foreign aid to foreign countries”

!!!!!!!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Fantastic news indeed. Because we’re absolutely rolling in money. The national debt a mere £3 trillion and rising. The cost of debt service at record levels. But so what? So let’s expensively borrow even more and give it away. Take that, neo-liberalism!

[Bea Johanssen @bea_johanssen]

@DavidTaylor85 With UK national debt running at £3 trn and debt interest costing taxpayers £112bn, in what way is borrowing money to give it away "good news"?

[TimeForReform @TimeForReform29]

@DavidTaylor85 That is exactly why you will be out of a job after the next election

[Change Britain @chamgeUK]

Only a total Dim wit and devoid of a brain cell would celebrate such irresponsibility! You Fabian socialist won’t be happy until this country is at the depths of depravity!

What don’t you all get? Are you really that thick? WE HAVE NO MONEY! Under Labour our borrowing is at nearly 6%, unsustainable and we’re going to go bankrupt and you think this is fantastic news?

It really does demonstrate the lack of respect tou have for working people who you’re meant ti be rhe party for. What tosh, Labour is a socialist scam who are corruot, greedy and in it to fleece the tax payer and people need to wake up quickly if they want to save tnis country from you criminals.

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

This has been agreed privately because Labour know exactly how unpopular it would be.

Andy Burnham wants to increase foreign aid from 0.2% to 0.7% of GNI, almost trebling the foreign aid bill.

While Britain is drowning in debt and our public services are deteriorating.

Why are we sending vastly more money abroad when we can’t even fix the problems at home?

This government does not have Britain's best interests at heart.

[Rustler @TheRustler83]

John Swinney’s business class flights to the World Cup cost £17,893 + same again for his Private Secretary

His car hire was £10,095 for 4 days!

I took my family to the World Cup for two weeks for LESS than John’s flight alone

Absolute disgrace to spend £100k on a junket

[Psychedelia Smith @PsychedeliaSmi4]

Ed, because your head's so far up your arse here are a few key facts you may have missed.

- Last week 74% of electricity in London was supplied by the French because there was no wind and the grid was close to collapse.

- NESO (the UK grid operator) have just published details of an energy rationing scheme where we will get 3 hours on, 3 hours off because our entire energy grid is now running on magic weather beans. In the 5th largest economy on Earth.

Pakistan have a similar energy rationing scheme,. They are the the 42nd largest economy on Earth.

- Net Zero is costing the UK tax payer £1,000 a second.

- China are currently building more cheap reliable coal plants per week than we have in all of history, turbo charging their economy and allowing them to mass produce cheap solar panels & turbines specifically designed to sell to the UK and help feel-good masturbatory imbeciles like you destroy ours.

Hope that helps.

[Agent P @AgentP22]

£95k for an SNP World Cup jolly.

Swinney tried to hide the costs, because he knew exactly how bad this would look.

Business class flights alone, for Swinney, his private secretary and a special adviser came to nearly £28K.

Absolutely scandalous.

Can we pass a law that says that Government is never allowed to say "free" and instead they must always say "tax-payer funded"?

[Mike Gardner @mikegardner_wb]

Yes Mr Burnham. Things are expensive. Here’s why.

Taxed on income
Taxed on capital gains
Taxed on petrol
Taxed on insurance
Taxed on flying
Taxed on buying most goods and services
Taxed on buying property
Taxed on owing property
Taxed on renting property
Taxed on savings
Taxed on gambling
Taxed on dividends
Taxed on buying a new car
Taxed for using a car
Taxed (in effect) for having a TV
Taxed on death for leaving what’s left to loved ones.

If you want to cut the cost of living -

Cut the State,

@daheditor @KemiBadenoch & not going to lie - we could go net zero tomorrow and it wouldn’t make a tangible difference to rest of globe. We’re far ahead a majority of countries but they now need to actually catch up for it to make a difference as rightly as you said we’re tinderbox-like.

[K @iamkm95]

@daheditor @KemiBadenoch That’s not the point. Source it locally whilst we require it but still transition our heating/cars away. It doesn’t get any cheaper or more expensive whether we produce or not as we don’t produce a large % BUT it would bring in tax receipts and keep people employed in good jobs.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Andy Burnham should approve Jackdaw and Rosebank.

He should do it for the people of Aberdeen and hundreds of thousands more whose jobs and livelihoods depend on the North Sea.

He should do it for the families across Britain struggling with rising energy costs.

He should do it because energy security is national security.

It’s time to get Britain drilling again.

[Léa | Bourse & Stratégies @LeaBourseFR]

Elon Musk vient de faire un joli pied-de-nez à l'UE.

L'UE a condamné X à 120 millions € d'amende pour manque de transparence sur son algorithme.

X publie désormais son algorithme sur GitHub, avec une mise à jour toutes les 4 semaines.

Mais ce n'est pas tout :

X va aussi rendre publiques TOUTES les demandes de censure émanant des gouvernements, dont celles de l'UE (qui semble clairement en abuser).

La pression réglementaire européenne a peut-être produit plus de transparence que prévu...

Juste pas exactement de la façon dont Bruxelles l'imaginait. 😏

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Zohran Mamdani says America should look into Islam and follow the example of “Prophet Muhammad” on migration.

Fun fact: After conquering Mecca, Muhammad deported all the Christians and Jews and banned them from entering the city ever again.

To this day, non-Muslims are prohibited from entering Mecca because they’re considered dirty and impure.

Does Mamdani want to turn New York into an all-Islamic state like his prophet did in Mecca?

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

The Prime Minister @andyburnham announced that he’s giving British farmers £65 million of support. To put this in context, he’s given Pakistan £130 million this year.
