The funny thing is, you wouldn’t even be able to invest in the best British companies because none of them list on our stock exchange. You can’t invest in ARM in your ISA, but you can invest in companies that have their stock price on their homepage and an PO Box for an office
I have a better idea: the Government should force ISA savers to fund British think tanks. I am well qualified to make this assessment because I run a British think tank.

The real icing on the cake of this policy is that they didn’t just say you’ll pay a bit more later, when you draw it down. This raids your pension right now. Triple lock junkie government needs the cash to pay pensioners *today*.
🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves will use the Budget to impose a £2k-a-year limit on how much salary can go into a pension before paying National Insurance The move will raise £2bn and hit salary sacrifice schemes [@thetimes]

The difference between Zohran Mamdani and Zack Polanski is that Zohran focused on ways to solve real problems, even if they're small (like halal cart licensing), while Zack simply repeats useless MMT soundbites like "taxes don't fund infrastructure!"
It’s hard to ignore the similarities between these two and their rapid rise in politics. UK it’s our turn, we’ve got our own Mamdani in Zack Polanski 💚

My wife bought her new build flat from her landlord, he’d held it for 9 years and sold it for the same amount he bought it for. Are foreign investors really buying new builds as investments? I bought a flat and it was a huge mistake, I’d have been better off renting
The Labour Party are absolutely dripping in property developers money. They're creating assets for foreign investors - not the council homes we need. Talk baby talk.

It’s crazy how every country but the UK decided to make plugs that just fall out of their wall sockets.

My mum just sent me a popular petition (130k signatures) to raise the tax threshold, but only for pensioners.

I’m calling this sort of thing Girlie Fascism. Citizen, you are found guilty of three counts of Vibes Crimes, Non-Healed Trauma, and being a Scorpio. You are hereby sentenced to chemical castration
@ijustloveteatbh there should be laws forbidding ppl with non-healed traumas to have kids

“Work harder!” says the man who makes his living showing pensioners how to help themselves to more pocket money
Why are intelligent high earning people so bad at arithmetic? If I am asked to write something for £1000 and I pay tax of 60% on that fee I am £400 better off than if I say ‘no thanks there’s no incentive to do it’ https://t.co/huS77OmHqv just do the job work harder and pay the

Labour’s taken the wind out of Zack Polanski’s sails here. He’s promised to increase tax on anyone earning over £50k, while Labour are immediately raising tax on those earning over £46k. In the end, though, it’s our median worker who should be paying more.

@moving_charlie We bought a small but beautiful riverside flat in Manningtree in 2007 for £170,000 and sold it a few weeks ago for £100,000

This is really stupid. Nobody just “desires slaves”. It’s nervewracking for modern bourgeois families to have someone in the house. Men feel emasculated by contractors who come over and do things that they should have done already. Do you think people enjoy these feelings?
remember when we all said theres literally no reason to make robots human shaped other than to fulfill people's desires to have slaves again. yea.

This would have been such a great Halloween costume for Grimes and Elon. All they’d have to do is dye their hair
