On the day America celebrated the IPO of its biggest space company, Britain found out its government is banning underfloor heating.
The decline of our country is not inevitable, it is the choice of the rotten political class.
@ScotNational That’s actually hilarious and so glad I saw this. Honestly sent my wife a property this am that would fall into “mansion tax” 😂 decisions made, I’m out and so are my taxes. Good luck!

Another zinger from Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden to Mandelson:
‘Every meeting I have is “who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others”. They’re asking the wrong questions.’
Wow! Just wow!!
People don’t realise this is how it starts. Then it’ll be taxing cash from dividens in a stocks ISA. Then it’ll be all cash held in your stocks ISA. Then your ISA will only be tax free up to a point. This goverment don’t want you building wealth. They are socialist rats🐀
If you want proof that government statistics are mostly a crock of shit, here it is. The idea that general inflation is running at 2.8% can only be believed by someone who hasn't paid a bill or been inside a shop in the past year.
@brian_armstrong Very interesting. 15+ direct reports all needing attention, review, tasks andddd you still have to find time to get in the weeds alongside them.
£66 BILLION in tax hikes on workers, businesses & savers.
Borrowed £132bn last year.
10-year gilt yields? HIGHER now 4.94% than under Truss.
Tax burden? Highest in history, heading to 38.5% of GDP.
£300 Million a day on debt interest.
Getting a grip of what?
If the UK joined the US as the 51st state.
We would be the poorest state in the entire union.
Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us.
I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita.
We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations.
We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases.
The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.
Every measure you list involves spending wealth.
You don’t list one measure that creates wealth.
And if you don’t create wealth you will soon run out of it to spend, which is already happening (hence all your extra taxes and borrowing).
the entire tax base rests on a group smaller than the population of Nottingham.
every policy that makes the UK less attractive to high earners is a direct hit to NHS funding, state pensions, and everything else.

An agreement was in place between INEOS and PetroChina, to save the Grangemouth refinery with a £300million investment.
@theSNP and @scottishgreens cabal demanded full net-zero upgrades which would have cost £1bn. ROI on that? 15years, with uninterrupted service. Far more, if any downtime was suffered.
The demand made was a blackmail by @scotgov, which failed, costing jobs, investment and loss of a hugely important refinery.
Anyone who continues to vote for @JohnSwinney and his cult, needs a short, sharp, shock.
No KINGS!!!
Their reign in power controlling America…
Chuck Grassley: 51+ years
Chuck Schumer: 45+ years
Mitch McConnell: 41+ years
Nancy Pelosi: 39+ years
Maxine Waters: 35+ years
Bernie Sanders: 35+ years
Etc
Trump: 5 years and 3 months
But Donald Trump is a King?
Scam.
The battery capacity to provide Britain with 2 weeks of electricity during winter would cost more than £2tn. Which is 20x the cost of building enough nuclear power stations to provide all the UK's electricity needs.
