@FarRightSkip Watched this several times and it gets better & better, Stevenson has all the usual tricks of a left-wing evangelist, interrupting, talking over & changing subject whenever he's cornered. God help us.
@lawrencenewport Because over 65 year olds have limited time for meaningful investment returns & therefore cash is often simpler, rather simple really.
There is only one basis on which the country should accept another change of PM: a commitment to honour the 2019 Manifesto.
If the candidates won’t give it, we must demand a #GeneralElectionNow.

@alexanderrX_ Its not perfect & it has it has its issues but the overall quality of life is light years ahead of the UK, we are spending 3 months p.a. and absolutely love it!
@ListerLawrence Thats crazy really, I'm still running an 11 year Audi A6 diesel which despite 156k miles and some repair work, most of which what is expected with that mileage, is costing less than £1k p.a. Drives like new!
I had a conversation with a Labour supporting friend at the weekend. She’s far from nuts, not overly political, just instinctively pro ‘being nice’ and ‘looking after the unfortunate’.
The long and short of it is that she has no understanding whatsoever of business or the economy. She sees Britain as a very rich nation but with almost all the wealth trapped in a vault somewhere, with ‘billionaires’ controlling the keys. The government’s job, in her eyes, is to unlock that vault and shovel as much cash to ‘unfortunates’ as possible.
When I point out that crippling taxes on businesses and individuals inhibit growth she just agrees with me and suggests those taxes would be better if they were only aimed at the really wealthy. It’s incoherent but most of all it relies on a worldview that the left have carefully constructed so that they can give money to their clients. It’s going to end in disaster. Arguably it already has.
We need to start demanding a General Election at the end of this Tory leadership election.
They were all elected on a manifesto promise to level up the North and are all abandoning it.
