A Patriot’s Promise: Why real patriots pay taxes, welcome immigrants and tell the truth. Let’s talk about what’s really hurting Britain.

They told us Brexit would bring control. Prosperity. Pride. But what did it really bring?
Higher prices. Longer NHS waiting lists.Fewer teachers More division.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

My Trade Secrets column today. Trump's been thrashing round with his tariffs for nearly nine months now but the global economy's doing....not too badly?

I look at why, and also note there's a much bigger threat from the AI bubble and the US's renewed addiction to fossil fuels.

The AI bubble is a bigger global economic threat than US tariffs

The houses in question, which the Telegraph is having a fannywobble about this time? Worth tens-of-millions of pounds.

It’s absurd this keening about the problems of billionaires - many of whom only have the properties as investments and contribute sweet blue fuck all to the local economy anyway.

Ofc, owners of larger vehicles should pay a (much) higher road tax, they are more dangerous, take up more space, and wear out the roads fat more than smaller vehicles.

The govt should raise the tax on them until it is clearly acting as a significant deterrent to people buying them.

So when a new story breaks, as it has today, that Trump is going to use US taxpayer money, paid with 500% tariffs on Chinese goods, to set up a victory fund for Ukraine, people need to first and foremost say it is most likely BS. united24media.com/latest-news/...

Given FindOutNow polls keep making news it's worth saying a bit more about their methodology.

Unlike other online pollsters it doesn't use a panel of people who've signed up to do polls. Instead they ask a small number of Qs to people playing the Pick my Postcode lottery. (Thread)

Oh Chris, this simply will not do - how dare you go against the official narrative of “out of control” welfare spending that the Tories relied on for years to justify Austerity 1.0, and that Labour now seems perfectly content to inherit for Austerity 2.0?

Chris Giles @chrisgiles.ft.com · 1d

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Spending is controlled, not spiralling

Worklessness is near record lows
