@BenStiller The best to ever do it, can't believe the amount of fight still in him

[mrElevate @mr_elevate]

@MJ_JJ061215 @WeAreWST That was pretty shocking at the time, no one seems to remind him of it. Am a Selby fan BTW, just wants to win at any cost

[mrElevate @mr_elevate]

@RonnieTracker 🫠 considering how bad he rates himself currently, he is certainly making progress. Hopefully play himself into form, avoid slipping out the top 16!

[mrElevate @mr_elevate]

@RonnieTracker A gentle lift off....

@thenerve_news The strength of the argument against is based on his wardrobe? Who reads this drivel

@andrew_lilico And as someone mentioned, the most important thing in tennis is footwork. If your feet are in the wrong position when the ball comes to you, you're not hitting a good shot. A good coach can quickly rectify these issues, foot speed so important

[mrElevate @mr_elevate]

@andrew_lilico There are some basic tactics I'd think are fairly easy to use, chip and charge, slice deep backhands to get yourself to the net to easily win the point with a volley, just practice. Hard forehands will always go in with enough topspin

@Tracy52468806 @BuyEnglishMade The customers aren't to blame, the treasury/government are for turning a blind eye for far too long

[mrElevate @mr_elevate]

@doc_hormone It's a deliberate foul, he knows 100% it's going in off, pretends he's surprised by it. Against the spirit of the game....smirking at Bingham. Glad he got pasted 6-0!

@giffmana There's no 'end' key on that keyboard, what dev in their right mind is using it???

[mrElevate @mr_elevate]

@svpino @AlfredoD365T Nonsense, plenty of DSP algo developers out there. We will anyways need ever faster FFTs

[mrElevate @mr_elevate]

@NeilClark66 I'm still fuming, it was in our hands. We would have given Spain a much better game. Tuchel should go

@Lucio_NN @MailaMariaRosa Interesting, thank you. Statistics (that I quoted) rarely tell the full story

Today, the 12th of July, is the 1099th anniversary of England.

The Birth of England….

During the summer of 927 AD, King Ethelstan defeated in battle the Irish Norse pretender to the throne of the Kingdom of York. In doing so, he took control of the last Viking kingdom in England.

Later, on 12th July 927, near Eamont in Cumbria, King Ethelstan met with several Celtic kings across Britain. At this meeting was the English Lord of Bamburgh and possibly other nobles from the Viking territory of Northumbria. King Ethelstan brought the kingdom of Northumbria within his control, and in doing so, he was the first person to create the 'kingdom of the English', the forerunner to modern England.

On that day in 927, Ethelstan had, in effect, created one nation for all the English people, and they were for the first time united under one ruler. From that point forward, King Ethelstan was no longer just King of the Anglo-Saxons; he became REX ANGLORUM, King of the English.

The 12th of July is England's birthday, and in 2027 England will be 1100 years old.

England is the oldest country in Western Europe, and we believe this is worth celebrating.

Everyone is piling on to @garyseconomics - his wealth tax documentary has bombed. Even the Guardian has given it a 2-star review and watched in horror as experts and onlookers alike call his ideas a car wreck.

It’s disappointing that he stuck to the same scripted lines that he said to me over a year ago. I raised the core issues with him back then and he did nothing to evolve his thinking.

Now with all of that said, I want to urge that we don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Wealth Taxes won’t work but that doesn’t mean we can’t look for ways to improve things for people who are struggling.

Gary’s popularity stems from a real issue. Millions of people see no way of keeping up with the costs of living. For millions of people in the UK their living standards are getting worse year on year and it needs to be addressed.

Here’s my thinking:

THE CAUSE:
- technology is devaluing jobs by making them easy to automate, outsource or simplify.
- we’ve had an un-targeted immigration policy that has flooded the UK labour market with millions of additional low skilled workers who compete with local entry-level workers.
- we have a UK government that has exploded debt and spending. Government spending that doesn’t result in productivity gains creates inflation.
- We have massive global businesses who do business in the UK but don’t contribute anything in tax revenue. They put local retailers, code shops and publishers out of business and move their profits to low tax zones.

SOLUTIONS TO EXPLORE:
- Special economic zones that offer lower taxes for small businesses that set up in parts of the country that need economic activity.
- Broadcast licenses for social media giants.
- IP licensing taxes for companies that take the piss with profit shifting.
- Lower taxes for startups. Reinstate the Entrepreneurs Relief. Expand SEIS/EIS.
- Allow home based businesses to claim childcare, cleaners, company car etc so they can run a better business.
- Allow tax deductions for home renovations (other countries have seen massive stimulus from this).
- Set up a British Sovereign wealth fund using oil and gas reserves.
- Reduce regulations and get builders building homes.
- Full support for the British farmers who create jobs and provide domestic food security.
- Entrepreneurial apprenticeships.
- Financial literacy and business skills taught in schools.

What would you add to the list?
