@darrengrimes So because Labour are fixing the single issue that Reform has built their entire existence on (small boats) you're reduced to cherry picking other data points without any context to further your tawdry agenda. The country is finally starting to see through Reform 🍾

People are saying that Nigel Farage has asked Elon Musk to ban people from X for sharing this clip of him attacking his crony Robert Jenrick.

Surely free speech champion Nigel Farage isn't that petty? But just in case, THIS is the video that you mustn't download or share

@mitch_feral @RichardJMurphy It doesn't need to borrow. But people, companies, financial institutions LIKE "saving" with the government because it's extremely safe

@sophielouisecc @MarinaPurkiss Sorry, which wars has Trump "solved"?

@JacquelineDufa3 @MisterPee2 @sophielouisecc I guess l @MisterPee2 won't have any issue with 6ft tall, tattooed and bearded trans men starting to use women's bathrooms, changing rooms etc 🤷🏼‍♂️

@stedavies @ByDonkeys Well yes, because there are many other electric car options available, so it makes sense not to buy one from a company owned by a nazi sympathiser.

@GaryHigh1977 @David_warren198 @supertanskiii Yes, perfectly happy because the person who has already been taxed is dead. THEY are not being taxed again. The person receiving the money has received new income, plus there is a generous tax free allowance. Why shouldn't the rest be subject to tax?

@David_warren198 @supertanskiii The person who died isn't being taxed. They're dead. The person being taxed is the one who is receiving the income. Why shouldn't it be taxed?

@WilcoFtbl Imagine hitting a 140 in that final set and have it take his average for the set DOWN 🤣

@darrengrimes The fact that you think Trump is a role model for children tells me everything I need to know about you Darren. Trump is a sexual predator and convicted felon. If my own children viewed Trump as a role model, I would have failed as a parent.

@JonathanLord What's concerning is that you were an MP for 14 years without understanding the basics of how a currency issuing government works. Please stop reposting nonsense.

🚨 | Margaret Thatcher - ‘The state has no source of money other than the money that people earn themselves.

There is no such thing as public money there is only taxpayers money’

💥 1st female Prime Minister understood public finances, the 1st female Chancellor does not.

💷 Rachel Reeves is robbing the public blind through taxation.

💡 Remember there is no public sector without the tax from the private sector.

🧨 The Labour Party are doing their best to ruin the private sector.

@DaveFinchMMA @Cheapshotuk @BladeoftheS 100% wrong. As I said, it's OK that you know absolutely nothing about how an economy works, but it's probably best to just keep it to yourself.

[Phil Brittain @phil_brittain]

@painintheass111 @ClarkeMicah @GeoffreyBetts4 Obviously it doesn't, but people go to school/work and come home from school/work at fixed times. By changing the clocks, daylight during those times changes. I don't agree with it and think we should stick with BST year round, but that's the actual impact.

[Phil Brittain @phil_brittain]

@DaveFinchMMA @Cheapshotuk @BladeoftheS So you think that your taxes go into a big pot which the government use to spend? That's not what taxes are for. It's a common misconception so you're not alone but taxes do not "fund" anything. That said, I agree governments make terrible spending decisions regularly

So another wonderful season of cricket comes to an end here in the UK.

Time to recap a few of the most village moments of the year. A thread —

@RichardJMurphy To be fair, you use the specific term "...the government's overdraft..." in this video on MMT (at 3m 12s in). That said, I agree that Darren Jones is talking about a household budget type of overdraft but I like being pedantic

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

In case you are confused:

NOT far right:
📣worried about immigration
📣pro-Brexit
📣angry about awful murders

DEFINITELY far right:
💥Hate people on the basis of their race/identity
💥Use the murder of kids to attack Muslims& immigrants
💥Justify thugs attacking police
