Just because I retweet something doesn't mean I agree with it.

@DAZN @DAZNFootball 9 of 33 seasons - 27%. So more than 1 of every 4 seasons. Hardly "only" 😂

@UKLabour. Absolutely pathetic.

Instead of explaining why people should vote for you, you're just begging for a vote to prevent someone else getting in.

Is this because there is actually no sound, logical reason why someone would vote for you given your track record?

[Matt Watson @mattwatson100]

@grimshub Dumbest theory ever as this claims it's in brentfords hands by beating city.

Palace making money by losing intentionally to arsenal is throwing the result to get a payout.

Everything seemed normal until I found out this guy has a 178 IQ and holds a master’s degree in electrical engineering from University of Oxford.

[Matt Watson @mattwatson100]

@PBOpodcast @Verrochio8 @theficouple Yeah, you did. @Verrochio8 clearly didn't

[Matt Watson @mattwatson100]

@PBOpodcast @Verrochio8 @theficouple I think the answer you get depends on whether it's your own residential mortgage or a BTL. You're both seeming to look at a different type of mortgage.

For me, it's repay the mortgage if it's my own home. Invest it if it's a BTL.

@TJiMTS Yes to changing laws to prevent land banking...they have something to this effect in Ireland.

There also needs to be wide reform to planning laws and red tape, specifically around brownfield sites.

There is no money spare to boost social housing construction

@AndyHarrisGB @SandyofSuffolk 5x income is standard for most mortgage lenders these days, lots do 5.5 and some offer 6x income now over longer terms. You have no idea what you're talking about

Most MPs have never had to meet a payroll, managed risk, or operated in competitive markets. It shows.

You’ve got people like Ed Miliband and Rachel Reeves lecturing executives who actually run complex, capital intensive businesses in the real world.

Energy policy isn’t abstract theory, it’s infrastructure, supply chains, and billions in deployed capital.

The people building and operating that system understand it far better than career politicians.

That’s why a meritocratic shift matters. Put proven operators in government roles.

People like Jim Ratcliffe, who’ve created, scaled, and sustained real enterprises bring a level of competence and accountability politics is sorely lacking.

We need people like Jim Ratcliffe in major government positions.

[Matt Watson @mattwatson100]

@Ed_Miliband Ludicrous to think this solves the energy crisis.

On top of that misjudgement, it increases planning and construction costs for new developments, making building the hundreds of thousands of homes that Britain needs even more challenging. 🫣

@2147mill Beyond 25 years you then have a place to live with no outgoings, whereas renting you'll be paying for eternity and likely at ever increasing rates (inflation, housing supply shortage etc)

[Matt Watson @mattwatson100]

@2147mill Now do the average capital appreciation of the house over 25 years and being left with an asset debt free at the end of it.

My parents bought a house in 2000 for £360k and sold it in 2019 for £860k, and that's without doing any significant works to it.

Your ground beef costs nearly 20% more than a year ago because US cattle herds hit a 75-year low and ranchers can’t find workers. A New Zealand dairy farm kid convinced Peter Thiel that GPS cow collars are the fix. Thiel just valued the company at $2 billion.

The company is Halter. Craig Piggott grew up watching his parents work 100-hour weeks on dairy farms in New Zealand’s Waikato region. He barely scraped into engineering school (scored 254 points, needed 250), landed at Rocket Lab, then quit before their first rocket launch to build smart collars for cows. He was 22.

The tech sounds ridiculous until you see the numbers. Each solar-powered collar collects 6,000 data points per minute on location, health, fertility, and grazing patterns. Farmers draw virtual fences on a phone app. Cows learn to respond to sound and vibration cues within 7 to 10 days, moving between pastures without a single physical fence post. Halter’s US customers have created 11,000 miles of virtual fencing so far, roughly the perimeter of the continental United States, saving an estimated $220 million in fencing costs. Physical fencing runs about $20,000 per mile to install and maintain.

The timing is what makes this a $2 billion company and not a $200 million one. The US cattle industry generates over $1 trillion a year but it’s cracking. The USDA counted 27.6 million beef cows as of January 2026, still declining. Fifteen thousand American farms vanished in 2025. Over half of US ranchers are older than 55. The labor crunch has only gotten worse under tighter immigration enforcement. This month, 3,800 workers walked off the job at a JBS plant in Colorado (one of the country’s biggest beef processors). Cattle slaughter is down 10% year over year.

Founders Fund actually first invested in Halter’s $7 million Series A back in 2018. They’re not showing up late. The valuation doubled from $1 billion to $2 billion in nine months. Icehouse Ventures, one of Halter’s earliest backers, put in $100,000 at the seed stage. Their total stake is now worth $409 million. The fund’s CEO told the New Zealand Herald today that at Halter’s current growth rate, it will surpass Fonterra (New Zealand’s $5.9 billion dairy cooperative) in value within 11 quarters.

600,000 cattle are wearing Halter collars across three countries. The “cowgorithm” is a real, trademarked AI algorithm that trains each animal individually. Ranchers report saving 20 to 40 hours a week. And the kid who barely got into college was just named New Zealand’s Innovator of the Year.

🧠🔝 It’s time to take Cesc Fabregas very SERIOUSLY:

✅ 2023: Cesc Fabregas decided to retire as a professional player at Como.

✅ 2024: He helped the club get promoted to Serie A as a technical assistant.

✅ 2025: He finished in the TOP 10 of the Serie A as head coach.

✅ 2026: He is in the TOP 4 of Serie A, he is primed to qualify for the Champions League next year and is playing the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

He retired playing at Como, was promoted as an assistant coach of Como and now, as head coach, has Como dreaming of playing in the Champions League.

What a story. 🇮🇹🤝🇪🇸

@Ed_Miliband But they're higher than when Labour came into power?

And isn't this just one of about 20 "number 1 priorities" that Labour has? 😂🙃

@MarioNawfal Why does the polling of American citizens matter about whether there is regime change in Iran?!

The Iranian people want regime change. The American people will want whatever benefits the American people.
