interesting article
If you don't like immigrants, expel them, but don't fabricate economic reasons. Because without these people labor costs would explode, housing costs jump because construction & maintenance costs DEPEND on cheap illegal labor. BTW Randy Fine is retarded. https://t.co/NflszlYRnq

What a brave man - @PeterEttedgui. “I do not want the school bully to become my Prime Minister”. I’m no comms expert, but “i’m horrified to be reminded of saying such hateful things as a boy - i was insecure and silly. im deeply sorry Peter” is what i would have liked in reply
‘I have not a political reason but a highly personal reason [for speaking out]. I do not want to see my school bully become prime minister’ Huge kudos to @PeterEttedgui. This is a hugely powerful & sobering interview.

i endorse this tweet - generous benefits for the genuinely disabled, everyone else unable/unwilling to sustain employment should have to physically clock in/out & maintain public spaces etc. My guess is most tax payers would *happily* cover scheme setup costs in short term.
How to cut the welfare budget? Number one. Ban foreigners from claiming benefits. Number two? If you can work, you must work. If a healthy individual has repeatedly refused a job, then they should be put to work. Don't give them benefits, give them work. If they want their cash?

i just paid a £35, camera-issued automatic fine because i momentarily drove in the wrong lane whilst trying to navigate an unfamiliar city at night, in the rain 🤣 #anarchotyranny 🇬🇧
Britain is one the most heavily surveilled countries in the world whilst simultaneously not able to identify thousands of vehicles illegally dumping waste next to one of the Oxfordshires busiest roads over a 5 year period. That heady mixture of bureaucratic overreach and

What a legend. I know it’s silly, but i tend to get more nervous teeing off at a modestly posh golf club than i do in any business context. This is his most impressive and courageous endeavour to me. Total badass.
I can speak in front of an audience of a thousand people or in a TV studio on a broad range of topics without any preparation and without a twinge of fear, but yesterday I had my first real experience with stage fright. I found myself on a tennis court in a live streamed

Love this on Rory’s Masters success by @KylePorterNS here: “What it must be like when your dream and your nightmare happen to overlap, and you fulfill one while conquering the other at the exact same time.”
Some final Masters thoughts. 1. Five is so many. Adam Scott, JT and Scottie combined. It's so, so many. Only 14 players since WW2 have won five or more. Tying Brooks and Seve with the best golf of your life, and now, improbably, Palmer is back in play.

“You’re getting paid for headaches and risks” - so true. Scary when people with no appetite for either risk family & wellbeing by buying small businesses.
Culturally, buying a small business is now squarely in the same category as flipping houses, multi-level marketing, and crypto. Portrayed as a secret shortcut that will make you rich because you're smart enough to know it. If you're serious about buying a small business, you

Super AI will be crazy powerful in knowledge work and *should* eliminate the need for all professionals. But, my lawyer-hating pro full automation friends, the limiting factor is likely to be you - the client & your unwillingness to steer, prompt & check thoroughly - not the tech
Unpopular Prediction: AI is going to massively *increase* demand for doctors, lawyers and teachers. I believe there is a tremendously high amount of *unmet* demand for human-in-the-loop heavy services. With highly intelligent AI capable of now providing the first layer of

I’d love to hear @paulmasonnews have a proper, honest discussion with @PeterMcCormack on these issues (I don’t necessarily agree with Paul, but I admire his honesty about making low pay cafe jobs fewer and skilled industrial jobs more abundant, for example)

When pressed on how taxation is making running a business harder than even (on which Peter is 100% right on). And Peter could have challenged Mike much more on making NHS always free at point of use for everyone I thought

Enjoyed @PeterMcCormack’s podcast with @MikeTappTweets but feel both missed the opportunity to be firmer with the other (which would have been good for the credibility of the centre left). Mike could have asked Peter “are you still enjoying a more than comfortable lifestyle?” 1/2

Madison Keys after winning her first major: “I’ve done a lot of work to no longer need this. I really wanted it but it was no longer the thing that was going to define me. Letting go of that burden finally gave me the ability to actually play for it.”

Interesting on the “hollowing” of British politics - https://t.co/xyBzV0yHVm. I hope @KemiBadenoch can build on her interview with @amolrajan to bring more substance to our discourse - looking forward to her being clearer on what her values imply (not guarantee) for future policy

Being lectured on business by career politicians is like taking lessons on love-making from your 12yr old nephew🤦♂️. Don’t mistake enthusiasm for experience, folks.
None of these people have started or built a business. Have they ever even met an entrepreneur? All grand theory, no practical experience.

German designer Erik Spiekermann goes on an incredible rant on why he hates the Helvetica font: ▫️"Real typefaces need rhythm and contrast...Helvetica hasn't got any of that." ▫️"[Typefaces are like people]. If you're slightly heavy in the middle, you're not going to walk

This is a fantastic thread. I don’t know anything about baseball, but I know loads of successful people prone to “yips” (fear-based performance anxiety) in different areas 🧡
In 2019, I was plagued by the 'Yips'. For 3 years, I struggled with the crazy phenomenon. Here's what it is (and how to overcome it):

British voters will probably similarly tolerate careless public comments by @KemiBadenoch if she embodies a cultural shift back to celebrating great (not perfect!) men & women who take risks & create things that benefit our families, friends & neighbours
Revenge of the Silent Male Voter What I learned about Trump's landslide victory from one night in New York City. On election day, I caught the subway from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Sitting across from me an elderly woman wore a t-shirt with the image of Trump pumping his fist in

This isn’t a cold email. This is a guy who doesn’t speak very good English traveling to an event, getting in line, braving all of the embarrassment that comes with public rejection or laughter on the Internet, taking himself seriously, and asking for the chance to prove himself
