@_AustriaUpdates@realDonaldTrump@Keir_Starmer Mumu talk the person taking over from him is far left. If anything, he’s more pro immigration than Starmer. Besides, it’s not a done deal that Starmer is resigning.
The positioning problem is real, but I’d phrase it slightly differently. Starmer is not disliked simply b/c he compromises, every PM compromises. He's disliked b/c his compromises often don’t feel attached to a bigger argument. So people see the retreat, the triangulation & the hard language, but they don’t see the destination.
You can see him trip on a wedge he left on his own roadmap.
Trump, isolated from every serious European leader, publicly announcing the UK Prime Minister’s resignation before Starmer himself has spoken?
Disgraceful. Arrogant. Pathetic. Britain decides its own fate, not some bitter has-been tweeting from Florida.
You are a national embarrassment to America and a threat to allied democracies. Stay in your lane. Useless man.
@Keir_Starmer@Mezon4 Don’t you dare resign. What you need to do is pick a side and sink or swim with it. You try to be more far right than the far right leading to alienation of those in the left and center, while not impressing the far right because those ones are more extreme than you can be.
@Sai_Isshayya_ Right and we know that’s impossible. He needs to take a position and be known for it. He’s too formless and this opens him to attack from everyone.
@Sai_Isshayya_ The problem with Starmer is mainly a positioning problem. He stands for everything and stands for nothing. The left believes in freedom, Starmer pursues digital ID. The left supports immigration, Starmer spoke of island of what not. He has tried to be more far right than the far
@elnathan_john You write beautifully even if your take is borderline stupid. If in an interview where everything was discussed, including the things you highlighted and you pick a clip and double down, the problem is you not him.
Sustained wealth happens when you have a community thinking together. The key person who is visibly wealthy only achieves that wealth because others also have skin in the game and propel them for their benefit.
I am not engaging in "trillionaire worship" like others, but what was instructive about the SpaceX IPO was that the cafeteria workers and janitors at the same company also became wealthy. That is a bigger deal than anything else.
I hear so much talk about founders and investors in African entrepreneurship, but what nobody tells you is that the people who also became wealthy are the people who supported the entrepreneur and the enterprise with work.
Decades ago, I discovered that Dangote's depot operators, when he was selling commodities, were also Naira billionaires in their own right. They didn't need to cheat him to get wealthy, as most misguided people believe employees should do; they had an arrangement that made all of them wealthy.
Dangote took the financial risk while the depot chiefs took the operational risks. I see this same dynamic in many supply chains in Africa. My wife's aunt's 70th birthday in Accra last year was attended by all the key FMCG players and traders who worked together in an ecosystem that they all profited from.
Aliko became rich because his family learned about this model long before anyone else did. He benefited immensely from it, and he is passing this same ecosystem-building approach on to the next generation of his family.
This aspect of African entrepreneurship is rarely discussed. People want to hear grass-to-grace stories or miracles. True wealth in reality is built by communities and ecosystems that work in sync. I will be talking about it a lot more.
I survived surgery yesterday, and I am grateful for another chance to keep doing this.
The 17-year-old girl who was stabbed in Brierfield has been released from the hospital, and I hope she makes a full recovery soon.
Unfortunately, some far-right activists are spreading misinformation and trying to portray the incident as a racially motivated attack.
Both the victim and the suspect are British Pakistanis.
A 30-year-old British Pakistani man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Notice how Tommy Robinson stopped tweeting about it once it was announced that the 17-year-old girl is British Pakistani.
@felixherbt@maxfrank09 The limited thinking of most people. I want this person or that person to win so that he/she can deal with another group of people we don’t like. Problem is, it always doesn’t end with those you don’t like. It comes to you. This thought produced Buhari, Tinubu and Trump.
@Tspiceskitchen@chukwukamadu52 We are too good and there lies the problem. If you type “foreigners attacked in a country”, no one on earth will immediately say that country is Nigeria. But if you type “citizens of one country were attacked for being foreigners”, it’s very likely a Nigerian attacked.
@asemota Once needed to go from Scotland to Cardiff, Scotland again then Cardiff. Instead of using flights, I drove so I was on the road for about 38 hours cumulatively,no sleep. I took countless redbull. Long story short,I developed stutter,had to be placed on propanalol. Never again.😣
@iamcashia I’ve literally taken a taxi from Birmingham to Heathrow countless times. Also, I don’t know the difference between overground and tube. I’m not rich.
