[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

Eight years ago today, I received the call that my father @BillyGraham had gone home to Heaven. He wasn’t afraid to die. In fact, near the end of his life, he said, “I know I’m going to Heaven. I’m looking forward to it with great anticipation because of what Jesus did on that Cross.” What about you? Do you have the same confidence?

The most important decision any of us make in life is to accept or reject Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. That decision changes everything—and it determines where we will spend eternity! Jesus said, “…I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die…” (John 11:25-26). What a promise! If we repent of our sins and put our faith in Jesus Christ, we will be safe in the presence of God forever. If you’ve never made that choice and surrendered your life to Him, I urge you to do that today.

@samuel_leeds I love this ❤️❤️

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

They will eventually apply the “wealth tax” to everyone, just like the income tax, which was supposed to be just a temporary tax of a few percent of the top 1% to pay for WW1 …

This is what happens when creativity as a culture is thrown out of the window. This will lead *woke-minded" people to create *woke-minded* policies and systems. And then double down on stupidity when it's not working.

@XFreeze I love creativity and innovation 🌎👍

This is more advanced than you think

Tesla’s Texas lithium refinery is the first in North America to convert raw spodumene ore directly into battery-grade lithium hydroxide, skipping the intermediate steps the rest of the industry relies on

It went from groundbreaking to first production in just 19 months, an unheard-of timeline at this scale

The process is cleaner too:
no hazardous sodium sulfate waste, and a useful byproduct that can be turned into concrete

This single refinery can supply lithium for over 500,000 EVs per year and directly challenges China’s ~60% grip on global lithium refining

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the EV supply chain just got an upgrade

@RupertLowe10 thanks for sharing this. GB needs to become a society of creators, makers and innovators, and not just consumers.

As a specialist in Early-Stage Entrepreneurship, I equip PARENTS with tools/resources to raise their young ones FROM HOME, as CREATORS & Innovators

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Considering starting a business in 2026? Some friendly advice from someone who has experienced both success and failure - thankfully more success than failure.

I’ve built businesses, run businesses, invested in businesses. It is hard bloody work. Do not underestimate that. Long hours. No holidays. Safety net? What safety net. It’s on you. Take responsibility.

But here’s a few thoughts that you may wish to consider if you are thinking of going for it. And despite everything, the risk is still worth it...

Cash flow is everything.

Profit is nothing until it’s in the bank. Cash is fact. Plenty of good businesses fail not because they weren’t viable, but because they ran out of money at the wrong moment. Watch it obsessively. Chase your invoices. Do it politely, but firmly. You did a job, get your money for it.

Find an unregulated or lightly regulated sector if you can.

The modern British state has an extraordinary talent for smothering initiative with compliance, paperwork, and box-ticking. Regulation favours incumbents, not newcomers. The less of it you have to navigate, the better it is for you.

Avoid fashionable sectors.

If everyone is talking about it, your opportunity is already gone. The best opportunities are usually dull, unfashionable, and misunderstood. Boring often pays very well.

Be careful with import-heavy businesses.

Sterling is overvalued. If your margins depend on a permanently strong pound, you are exposed. This is why domestic businesses, particularly tourism, can still do well. It’s good news for places like Great Yarmouth, so a good place to invest if you are considering it. I’ll happily advise any businesses wanting to invest in our constituency.

Own hard assets where possible.

Land, property, plant, stock. Always worth something. Invest where possible.

Beware of experts.

Experts are trained to tell you why something can’t be done. Entrepreneurs are paid to find a way to do it anyway. Don’t outsource judgement. Trust your gut, and beware of the advisers trying to create a role for themselves.

Don’t grow too fast.

Slow, controlled expansion lets you fix problems before they become business threatening. Bite off more than you can chew, you’ll choke. One step at a time. Ask for help if you need it. Find good subcontractors and treat them well.

Control your costs.

Small leaks sink ships. Pennies add up to pounds, lots and lots of pounds. Good approval processes save pennies, which then save pounds. It all adds up.

Credit is suspicion asleep.

Cheap money hides bad decisions and turns small problems into awful ones when conditions tighten. Use credit sparingly, understand its true cost, and never build a business that only works if borrowing stays easy. It won’t. Things will change, I expect them to soon.

Know when to say no.

Bad customers, bad partners, and bad contracts can destroy a good business. Walking away is often the smartest decision you’ll ever make. Don’t get blinded by cash. Be sensible, take your time and operate with the right people. It may mean giving up money in the short term, but it’s often worth it. Play the long game.

Understand tax properly.

You don’t need clever schemes, but you do need competence. Poor tax planning kills more businesses than competition. You are going to get screwed. Just try to get screwed as little as possible. Easier said than done. Thanks, Rachel.

Reputation is an asset.

Especially outside big cities, word travels fast. How you treat customers, suppliers, and staff will follow you. It’s worth investing a few quid in showing your customers, staff and even suppliers how much they mean to you. A small investment goes a long way.

Keep decision-making tight.

Committees slow businesses down. Responsibility should be clear. Someone must own the outcome. With success rewarded, failure punished. Incentives matters. Take responsibility. If it goes wrong, take it on the chin. Don’t assign blame. You’re the boss. Own it.

Watch the markets.

The partially gold-backed yuan challenging the dollar is happening. The era of endless money printing is wobbling (don’t get me started on QE). Just how much in 2026 is yet to be seen. Precious metals will prosper again, and I expect them to do particularly well in 2026. Ignore this at your peril!

Use the digital age properly.

Technology allows small, nimble businesses to compete with giants. But don’t overly rely on it. AI isn’t that smart. Yet.

Most importantly? Train your staff properly and treat them well.

Loyalty, pride, and competence are built - and they repay you many times over. We have employees at our companies who have been there decades. Over 50 years in some cases. It matters, more than anything else.

Without these people, your business is nothing. So act like it.

Starting a business has never been easy. It certainly isn't now. But in business let's control what we can control, and not stress too much about what we can't. Monitor, but don't let it paralyse you.

For those willing to think independently, take calculated risks, and work hard?

The reward is still worth it.

We need a Britain of entrepreneurs willing to risk their capital to make things happen. THEY built Britain, they drive the economy, they create wealth and opportunities.

Done right, it will be one of the best decisions you can ever make.

If you are considering giving it a go, I sincerely wish you well.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Western Civilization is doomed, unless the core weakness of suicidal empathy is recognized and actions are taken that are hard, but necessary for survival

[Dr Motunrayo Duro-Ishola LLB, BL, MBA, Phd @theMindersTouch]

Until we go back to running the society based on the same principles that under guard the family institution, then open bothers to people with incompatible ideologies will keep occurring, and destroying the society will be the result. The family structure and it's pillars is the template for running a thriving, creative and innovative society. As an example, if you will never leave the gate to your garden and the door to your house open for every Tom, Dick and Harry to walk through under no circumstances, because the safety, security and sanity of members of your family trumps that of an outsider (even if they are your neighbours), then those same principles should guide the fabric of your society. Like a wise person once said (I cannot recollect who at the moment), "A fool at home is a fool in government, in the office and in the society" no matter how high their position is in the society.

Hi @elonmusk just a quick question. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "We didn’t “play to our core strengths”, we created core strengths from nothing"?

[Dr Motunrayo Duro-Ishola LLB, BL, MBA, Phd @theMindersTouch]

Boldface lying is the reality of their demography.

That's why truth, telling and presenting the truth, using all platforms possible is the humble reply to the lies.

If left unchecked, the lies will become the operating system for decades to come.

Which is why mastering the art of questioning, asking the right questions, is key to placing narratives in the courts of human reasoning.

That a narrative has long existed does not shield it from questioning. To say otherwise is to give in to mental lethargy.

The Challenge to the lies begins with every individual confronting their own narratives with truth and dismantling the lies, irrespective of how painful the process may be.

For until every one successfully challenges their own lies and narrative, the results would be failure at challenging societal, institutional lies.

People like @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump (and countless others) have successfully challenged (and still doing) some of their own individual narratives and gone further to put their money where their mouth is.

I hope history will judge people like them right. But you know what, people like them are already numb to the opinions of others, so that they can truly begin to live.

I have made my decisions (and still doing so), confronting previously accepted lies with truth, not with my truth but with the truth and I am now truly living.

One of such truths is this 👇,

"Raising Innovators, Creators and Entrepreneurs begins at home, not in college and they begin with parents not tutors and professors"
