ps. here's the global league table: #Budget worries knocked the #UK off the top spot inherited from the previous government, but businesses were still expecting decent growth... 🤞 Note also that #Germany is not the only EU economy in deep trouble... pmi.spglobal.com/Public/Home/Pr…

Jesus Henry Christ. In the first six months of this financial year, @SadiqKhan started building essentially no social/affordable housing.

I can show you in one simple chart why industry wants to flee Europe for America: from 2019 to 2023, electricity prices in Europe skyrocketed, more than doubling in Britain and even Poland, up 50% in Germany and Italy. Meanwhile, cheap U.S. electricity has gotten even cheaper.

Best way to deal with politically deranged family members is to tacitly agree with them and then change the subject. My dad gets all his news from Russian disinformation Facebook accounts and my mom from MSNBC so I don’t even know what they’re talking about half the time. Dad:…

As a centrist, I cannot think of a single thing associated with wokeness that's positive — it's crazy on gender, racist on race, intolerant of speech; it undermines excellence by elevating underperformers and impeding overperformers, drains art and culture of its vitality and…

1/n Let's deal with a few *facts* here. On 10/6 2023, 06. October, the Gaza Strip was self-governing. It had a higher standard of living than the Egyptians bordering the southern Gazan border. Its rulers were billionaires. Hamas *owned* ≈10% of all land. nypost.com/2023/11/07/new…

Not sure what was the legal theory behind this. The Benn Act did not contain penalties for non-compliance. What would be the crime, misconduct in public office at common law?

Oh hey, something I can weigh in on! The portraits of Louis XVIII and Charles X here are formal portraits of them in their *coronation robes*. This is *not* how they dressed on the regular. It matters what they wore for official portraits like this, of course. 1/

Just look at the list of French rulers during this period. — 1643 - 1715: Louis XIV. Look at his little red heels! — 1814 - 1824: Louis XVIII. Little flower on his foot. — 1824 - 1830: Charles X. Gauzy, doily like decoration around his neck. — 1844 - 1883: Henry V. 😭

He might be more in favour of Britain than half Britain's politicians

I can confirm from a Trump source that a special US deal for UK is under consideration. Trump feels that neither Tory nor Labour governments have made anything of Brexit. No Singapore in the Atlantic etc. So he will set a test, pulling UK further from EU alignment. Over to you,…

Postmortem polling by @Blueprint_2024 finds that the top reason for not choosing Harris among swing voters was that she "is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class." blueprint2024.com/polling/why-tr…

I thought this was fascinating. In normal cultures, people enjoy mildly insulting each other and indeed themselves. It isn't meant to be taken literally. This baffles a small fragile cast of self-appointed worthies, but everywhere else it's universal, and thousands of years old.…

On CNN Wolf Blitzer realizes that the Tony Hinchcliffe Puerto Rico garbage joke not only *didn't* negatively affect the Trump vote, his numbers in the Puerto Rican community actually went up. Way up.

Meanwhile in Belgium a bloke the size of a giraffe sends creepy solidarity to women in America. I’m sure women feel reassured by a sex fetishist staring at them….hard.

Couldn‘t quite believe this. Had to download TikTok and see for myself. Careful what you wish for. (This is from the Belgian Greens, fronted by the Belgian Deputy Prime Minister. Apparently, there is is also a Norwegian and Finnish version.) via @CoachCaroline

You think that’s bad love, there’s a man from Northern Ireland, who received 2 life sentences, sitting on our policing board.

This is a strong statement from @realDonaldTrump to put an end to the gender madness. I fully support it, and hope I can help his administration make this a reality.

When is the centre-left going to accept that the drivers of populism isn’t primarily economic. It is cultural. It is a disconnect in values and priorities between those who dominate the left and liberal centre and the mainstream in Western countries. Pretending it’s wealth…

1️⃣🚨 Trump’s shocking re-election wasn’t just an American story. It’s a global warning for the left. If we don’t address the deep divides in wealth and opportunity, populism will continue to surge worldwide. Here’s why Labour—and Europe’s left—should take note. 🧵👇 1/

One day no-one will believe these freaks were sent to Paris by the Biden administration to represent America at Bastille Day. A creepy guy who argued for no limit on the age kids got transgender surgery and a pervert who stole women's clothes. Lunacy. No wonder Kamala lost.
