@DominicMcGregor Good post until the point about having kids so they can care for you. Part of taking responsibility for yourself is choosing carefully who you vote for and pushing for change.

@mr_james_c Few people realise that if you go to uni, get a job and earn a living you will get absolutely battered by taxes, whilst the ultra rich don't. And then they pay hundreds of people to post on X all day that the problems are really the poor, immigrants and socialists.

@K_Niemietz "Listen, I said what my bosses paid me to say. And then I got a pay rise and Director in my job title. I'm a successful lobbyist and you should listen to me!"

@Lyndonx Making the tax system fairer is not socialism.

@InTheTrenchesUK As opposed to "We will reheat Margaret Thatcher's policies, and say the same thing for 50 years. We will frame alternatives as socialism. When we cut expenditure and raise taxes to balance the books then we will blame minorities for falling living standards."

@CharlotteCGill That's an obscene characterisation. Proposing changes to tax - which many people favour - deserves thoughtful responses, not stuff like that Charlotte.

@DanielPriestley @garyseconomics Gary's core claims are all correct. Ultra rich's wealth drive asset prices up. Governments have sold off assets. It's got harder for working people to buy assets. Governments are stuck: tax the middle, tax wealth, or cut the basics. Socialism vs capitalism is irrelevant.

@jemmm85517813 It's a great place to live, great culture, fair legal system, stable, fair police, no guns, educated workforce, and you're free

@MelJStride Isn't loose regulation precisely what caused the financial crisis? And why your government didn't do this 2010-2024?

@mikegardner_wb Total rubbish!

[Pat Boyce @pgboyce]

@AnonymousExTory That is really terrible advice!

@TonyWard867811 Did you use AI to write that?

@ContractorCalc It sounds like simple maths to me.

@andrew_lilico What's your idea about how to get the UK back on track?

[Pat Boyce @pgboyce]

@banthebbc That's a bit extreme ban-the-BBC-mRNA-free Max!

[Pat Boyce @pgboyce]

@banthebbc Have you left Max?

@stuey_beef What do you do for living stuey beef?

@brittas_strikes You are pathetic

@StuartMaggs The UK is a fantastic country. Just because something is cheap (low tax) doesn't mean that is high price can't flourish. Apple doesn't compete on price. Microsoft don't. GSK don't. You need to try competing in a market: there's a place for cheap - maybe that's you!
