Welcome to the party @KemiBadenoch , we’ve been waiting for you 👏🏼

[Systems Ninja @SystemsNinja]

Show us who you really are… well done the GMB team, you handled this well.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

Kevin Maguire *rightly* being called out for calling Charlie Kirk 'far-right'.

That's right, on GMB.

I'm surprised they didn't cut the feed.
I'm still in shock.

[Systems Ninja @SystemsNinja]

@Keir_Starmer You literally label people “far right” , how is that not divisive?

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

@campbellclaret Now do some research on the fact human beings cannot change their biological sex & allowing males in to a sports category for females is unfair & therefore cheating them out of their hard fought for rights & opportunities

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

This is complete rubbish.

Any government minister who had done what she has done would be scrutinised, criticised, and asked to stand down.

It not about her having a second home. It’s not about her class, her sex, or her accent.

It’s about her hypocrisy.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

When I see all these senators trying to lecture and "gotcha" Bobby Kennedy today all I can think is:

You all support off-label, untested, and irreversible hormonal "therapies" for children, mutilating our kids and enriching big pharma. You're full of shit and everyone knows it.

[Jeremy Clarkson @JeremyClarkson]

I’m puzzled. Labourites tell us that Angela Rayner was only trying to look after her child which they quite rightly say is understandable.
But when a farmer tries to look after his children, they say he’s a tax dodger.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

It took the last benighted Tory government 14 years to slump to a net approval rating of minus 56, which it richly deserved. But Starmer/Labour have managed to plummet to the same depths in 14 months. A breath-taking achievement. Congratulations.

Crazy how being a decent person still costs $0.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

This is nice. ❤️

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

So the police are dragging their heels on stopping males strip-searching females, which, as the Supreme Court ruling confirmed, was illegal all along. I'm sure they hope no woman decides to sue.

Of course, I'll fund her if she does.

Whether it is Scrum, DevOps, Product Operating Model or even the Viable Systems Model, don’t be rigid or overly prescriptive in your intervention.

Don’t get caught up in the methods - understand the principles that underpin them and don’t ignore the context on the ground.

Listen to @SystemsNinja drive home the point with a pertinent quote in this clip…

This week’s Cyb3rSyn Newsletter brings the seventh Cyb3rSyn Labs Podcast episode, my conversation with @SystemsNinja.

I’ve long admired Liam as a systems thinker and a keen practitioner. Over the years, I’ve gained invaluable insights from his online posts. What’s particularly fascinating is the insights I’ve gleaned from his interactions with others on social media platforms. Observing his exchanges has been a continuous source of myth busting and learning for me.

I hope to convey some of those insights in today’s newsletter and podcast.

Liam's ability to blend practical experience with a deep understanding of the underlying principles made for a truly enriching discussion.

10 things that shocked me about my debate with @garyseconomics

1. He didn’t share any facts. Not one. He wants us to accept his entire philosophy on feels. When presented with data he jumps to “I’m always right betting on the economy”.

2. He didn’t know the difference or distinguish between income and inheritance. He described inheritance as income and wanted to tax it the same as income… even though it’s money that has already been taxed once already!

3. He thinks that Rishi Sunak is worth £700M and it should be taxed now even though this number related to his father in law’s foreign company. In Gary’s world, if you marry the daughter of a wealthy foreign national, the UK Government should be able to seize some of that families money. Also, owning a stake in a technology business was described as “hoarding wealth”.

4. Almost all examples he gives about “wealth” are where he imagines someone owning houses with no debt and no costs of running them and they all make 5% yield clear. In reality, hardly anyone rich owns a large number of debt free houses that spit off 5% “passive income”. Most billionaires own companies that comprise of intangible assets that can be relocated elsewhere.

5. He barely knows the difference between revenue, profit and assets. When I explored how to tax billionaires, his answers jumped between them indiscriminately.

6. He believes the cause of wealth inequality is … wealth inequality. A measurement can not be the cause of that measurement. Other than being born rich, Gary doesn’t acknowledge any underlying causes such as technology or the type of work someone does As playing a role in why people get different financial outcomes in life.

7. He seems to think all jobs should pay the same. A “grime poet” should be earning the same as someone working in finance. There’s no good or bad choices, it’s just unfair that some people end up richer than others.

8. He seems to think the only thing responsible for an affluent middle class from 1950s to 1980s was high taxes on the rich. He doesn’t take anything like labour shortages, massive post-war rebuilding efforts or a baby boom into consolidation.

9. Suggesting people have personal agency (or go—forbid, responsibility) isn’t a topic he’s comfortable with at all. Sharing statistics about the high levels of self-made millionaires doesn’t wash. Gary robs people of agency with his belief that you either have a rich dad or ”99.9% of the time you wont achieve financial security”.

10. The ONLY way to improve the economy is through higher taxes on wealth. He sees no downsides to this and genuinely thinks capital flight isn’t a real Consideration.

As much as I respect Gary’s passion and dedication, I feel like he has a very low resolution knowledge of the topic he wants to advise the country on. I feel like it’s just a deep anger about unfairness of outcomes when it comes to money.

@LucyGoBag All parties are completely ignoring that it happened as they all threw themselves so hard into lockdowns and stamped out counter arguments. It’s not even raised as a contributor to our economic issues.
Cake and eat it.

Start off with your budget

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

If something isn’t working, I roll up my sleeves and fix it.

I will reshape the state to deliver security for working people.

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Under Two-Tier Keir, that’s exactly what’s happening.

It’s completely outrageous.

This would enshrine an anti-white and anti-Christian bias in our criminal justice system👇
