>>>With council tax running at £2,000+ the concept of freehold is dead in Britain.
The State is everyone’s landlord now & their ground rent is obscene

In the United Kingdom, we’ve managed to achieve communism for 95% of the population.

If you have kids, unless you earn more than £80,000 gross, you have the same quality of life as those on benefits.

And the government managed it without a revolution.

Incredible really.

Question for all socialists.
You get your wish and tax the rich.
In fact you take every penny from every British billionaire (£185 billion).
Your UK NHS budget is £206 billion.
You are £21 billion short.
Next year you have no billionaires to steal from.
What’s your next move?

🚨NEW: The Green Party are facing a setback after the Institute for Fiscal Studies concludes their six-year inquiry into the UK's social and economic disparities, and determines an annual wealth tax would backfire massively

@Ed_Miliband Drill baby drill!

Norway collected £50bn from North Sea oil and gas last year.

We collected £4.4bn, having taxed our own producers into closure in pursuit of a #netzero fantasy.

I cannot think of a cleaner example of a government failing its people @Keir_Starmer and @Ed_Miliband

@elonmusk Humans need a sense of competition. To have relative gains versus others and their previous self. This takes away fundamental human opportunity and drive

The 5-star Cuba hotel where socialist MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Richard Burgon are staying is the ONLY building in Havana with power right now.

The hypocrisy and self-serving virtue-signalling from these two clowns is off the charts.

Expel them from Parliament.

Dear Cadbury,

“From Cadbury this season.”

What season?
Go on, say it.

It’s EASTER. You are selling EASTER eggs for the EASTER SEASON.

How dare you profit off a Christian holiday while erasing its Christian origins.

They are Easter eggs.
It is Easter.

Shame on you.

Government borrowing hits 4.8% under @trussliz. @RachelReevesMP says Truss was ‘reckless’ and put the economy in danger. Government borrowing hits 5.6% when Reeves is Chancellor, and she says: “I’ve put out economy back on a firm footing” and implies she’s an economic genius 🙄

Britain has paid Norway over £100 billion for gas since 2021.

For gas they’re drilling in the North Sea, the same sea Ed Miliband has banned new drilling in on the British side.

Madness.

Just split the country in half already - split the money, build a wall & let me live in the bit they're not in.

@Mattburns82 @CeeMacBee You’re not wrong Matt. Taxes do discourage what is taxed. Hence taxing income wealth and investment is so stupid

[Catherine McBride OBE @CeeMacBee]

If anyone doesn't believe in the Laffer curve, here is a good example of Laffer in action:

Labour increased tax on oil and gas production to 78% last year - despite warnings from the industry that it would decimate investment and cost thousands of jobs.

New data shows that the UK's North Sea revenues have now fallen from £9.9billion in 2022/23 - when the Energy Profits Levy (EPL) was introduced - to £4.5billion in 2024-25, the year the tax was increased.

Revenue from the EPL - which is one of three taxes levied on the sector - has itself fallen from £4.2billion to £2.7billion over the same period.

The figures - which were published in the Scottish Government's Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) report -  also show decommissioning expenditure rising, which will accelerate the UK Government's near £11billion bill for the removal of North Sea infrastructure.

@BBCNewsnight She is confusing GDP versus GDP per capita. India has a higher GDP than the U.K. But their average salary is about $400 a month and several million of them don’t even have a toilet. But yay GDP

DRILL BABY DRILL !

Shale gas can bring our bills down, make us energy independent and create jobs and prosperity

It is gross negligence not even to try to extract our energy treasure https://t.co/thnoGMqN5y

@David__Osland I am. I was a child under Thatcher and remember seeing my parents and their friends start businesses from practically nothing and build themselves up. There was a pride and belief in the country that we were going places.

@elonmusk As an Englishman the Trump/Musk partnership is infinitely more appealing than the rape sympathising Marxists we have now

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

In the UK, serious crimes such as rape require the Crown Prosecution Service's approval for the police to charge suspects.

Who was the head of the CPS when rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice?
