Because awful scrotes at right wing websites are getting people fired for having political opinions, I think its probably worth tweeting anonymously.

Nobody is getting on benefits to live the good life. Absolutely nobody.


I've pretty much moved to the other app, when I look at my feed on this app it's just full of nazi shit.


So, I make this a mortgage of £4750/month, you'd need a salary of about £300k. Way above the top 1% salary, basically impossible.

The reality facing a young working-class person looking to buy a three-bedroom house in the same area I grew up in is: £100,000 deposit. £900,000 mortgage. The housing crisis is holding hard-working young people back from the life they deserve.



Assuming that Dawn Butler is trending for saying something entirely correct and reasonable about Kemi Badenoch.

I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t…

Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words. The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.

Many people will disagree, but the album/LP was an imperfect form, encouraging artists and, more importantly, A&R men to pad. Yet by the 1970s, as artists acheived a certain autonomy, albums improved as the striving for perfection that the form encouraged led to greatness. 1/5

If you increase taxes on landlords but don't control rents, landlords will simply - and very obviously - pass those increases (and more) straight on to the tenants. Yes we need to tax landlords more, but we need to make sure it's them that actually pay.


Nothing in this list is "precision engineered" most political interventions are necessarily broad brush.

The economy will boom under Labour. And it’ll be because of a small list of bills that are precision engineered to drive growth. Some of the highlights:



Not surprised, but what an evil piece of shit Jenrick is.

Martyn Blake, the firearms officer cleared today, was a hero who found himself fearing for his life and the life of his colleagues. His prosecution was wrong and endangered the public. The ordeal he has gone through, unthinkable. We must back our brave police officers, and not…

Most controversial post yet from Eyup, who is also wrong.

Americans think bacon is a seasoning



Random thought about enshittification is that Elon Twitter is basically on an enshittification speed run.


This is it in a nutshell, the political class have convinced themselves that we have a set of problems entirely different to the ones we actually have.

I mean, if you spend decades agreeing that Britain's problems are profligate spending on infrastructure, vast armies of poor and fake-disabled people who prefer benefits to working, and foreign hordes, you'll get politicians who try to solve these problems.



These posts are always interesting, but I can't help thinking that our political and media culture encourages the bad policies that make our tax system such a mess.

I haven't written enough about Scottish marginal tax rates. Here's how it looks - check out that 70% rate between £100k and £125k. This isn't a special case, or a cherry-picked example. This is the position for *everyone*.

White leftists really showing their asses by refusing to endorse Harris. Just say you don't care about protecting black men's crypto assets and go

Help! I (36F) blocked my ex (53M) on twitter but then he spent $44 billion and renamed the entire website after himself so he could see my tweets again
