Why did Manchester City owners need to visit Downing Street in September? Andy Burnham needs to come clean about his links and what pressure they have applied to him. Labour Sleaze all over again.

Absurdly Counter Terrorism chief Vicky Evans claimed the decision to further charge Joshua Kerry ( he was accused of murdering Ann Widdecombe) with planning terrorism acts against Nigel Farage was due to a “ hugely intensive and complex investigation”. No it wasn’t. Police had the photo of somebody pushing a lit incendiary device through the letterbox of Farage’s London home early last year. But they failed to push the photo out , closed the case and it was only when the alleged killer of Ms Widdecombe was identified after her murder in July this year - 16 months later- that they put two and two together. If counter terror and the Met had taken the attack on the Reform leader seriously would Ann Widdecombe be alive today? A serious question. Not helped by claiming the charge was due to a “ complex and intensive” investigation.

30 year interest rates are Switzerland 0.6%,China 2.1%, Germany 3.8%,Japan 4.2%, Spain 4.6%, Italy 5.2%,France 5.5%,US 5.6%, UK 6%. The UK has the highest rates because it is over borrowing and has ultra high energy taxes and prices.

RT @sandieshoes: Yes. Time to come clean @andyburnham We need complete disclosure. How many meetings? With who? What did you know about…

Are you trolling us now? I am a barrister. Every single barrister, judge, senior doctor, nurse, local business owner I know voted Leave. Leave voters took the time and effort to consider their vote. To listen to the various groups (fishermen being the most obvious) it was clear that the EU was heading towards a Federal Project via the extension of remit of the ECJ. Set up as a Commercial Court to prevent anti-competition behaviour, the Maastricht and Lisbon Treaties widened the scope to Immigration, Matrimonial, Social care, Employment and Human Rights. What’s the problem with that? You wail. The problem is this: the laws being enforced by the ECJ are not from a democratically elected parliament, but from a body called the EU Commission. This is an appointed body, not elected. Before you ask: No, unlike our parliament, the EU Parliament does not originate law. It rubber stamps them from the Commission. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on any of the EU treaties, I know them inside out. Before I go. Remain voters voted for the SQ. A lazy vote, just like the entire machine of the state: lazy. Don’t you dare call me stupid for my vote.

Fuck me this man is an economic retard.

Why does it matter that politicians have held a real job? 

 In the private sector if you blow your budgets out they fire you. In a business you go broke. In government they apologise for the undue pressure, give you a bigger budget and then you get a promotion. In the private sector if you over promise and under deliver, you’re seen as untrustworthy and you get excluded from future projects. In government they are shocked if you actually do what you said you would. In business we rely on voluntary trade based on real value being exchanged. In government the currency is political favours, threats, quiet promises and access. 

 Our PM hasn’t had a job since 1994. Hardly any of the Cabinet have worked in a business that trades. These people don’t understand the basics of creating more value than you spend, sticking to a budget or keeping their word. In fact all of that is scoffed at in the political circles they’ve spent decades in. Andy isn’t a man of the people who enjoys a pint like the real people. He’s a man of politics who hasn’t operated in the real world since Forest Gump was in the cinemas. Our PM hasn’t even had to get elected - he couldn’t be more out of touch with reality.

“The fasten seat belts sign is on”. This is a message I received early this morning from one of the UK’s most experienced, savvy and respected financial traders. Someone I have come to know and trust for the last 25 years. 10-year bond yields are now almost 4.5pc - up some 50 basis points over the last month. 30-year yields this morning went above 6pc - a 28-year high. Yet the UK’s political and media class continues to focus on party posturing and folksy rhetoric, ignoring the slow-motion disaster that has been happening on the UK’s sovereign bond markets for at least the last 18 months - a disaster that will inevitably, unless we drastically change course, turn into a fully blown market meltdown. At that point, the UK government won’t be able to borrow enough money to finance our already spiralling debt interest bill. Britain’s financial management will be taken over by overseas technocrats - that will be the condition of additional borrowing, to maintain the basic functions of the state, as happened in Greece and Italy back in the early 2010s and here in Britain 50 years ago this year (when we were forced in 1976 to apply to the IMF for a bailout). The austerity then imposed on Britain would make 2010-2019 feel like a picnic - far, far worse than it would be if we took serious action now to control our public finances. Lower-income households would suffer most - and there would be serious damage done to the UK’s already rapidly-fraying social fabric …. I have been warning about these looking fiscal dangers publicly, in my newspaper columns and elsewhere, since at least early 2024. Doing so hasn’t been easy or fun. I have been dismissed and derided by numerous economists, “economists”, officials and policymakers - as well as lots of journalists. I absolutely don’t want a disastrous 1976-style outcome - which is why I’ve taken the blows and issued the warnings. The state is too big. Public spending is out of control. Our fiscal rules are a convenient nonsense - designed to kick the can of financial reality into the future. We need to get real … and take bold action to tame the growth of spending, push back a now totally over-bearing state and snap the British economy out of today’s high-tax-high-borrowing-low-growth doom loop - the result of myopic, counter-productive policy-making by successive governments for the last decade and more … Other prominent economists who agree with me - ie who are financially-literate, can read a yield curve, have a passing interest in economic history and who understand the dangers of some 80pc of UK government borrowing going on debt interest as it currently is - need to chuck “career risk” in the bin, and start saying publicly what so many of them have, for quite a while now, only had the bottle to say to me in private … Remember: “The fasten seat belts sign is on”

🚨Found an iPhone this morning whilst walking the dog. If you’re like me, your whole world is on that phone. Banking. Contacts. Pictures you can’t replace. I’ve taken it home and put it on charge. Call it. If you recognise the lock screen, ring the phone. 👍🏻

A moron opines. Except this time he’s right!

The European Union has been a total economic failure. Since its foundation in 1992, it has consistently grown much more slowly than the world Because it prefers navel-gazing, virtue signalling and micro management of every aspect of life to making its people richer. Patronising Bastards.

From a military pilot on today’s attempted hijacking. I’ll sum it up for you: Hashem performed an unprecedented miracle today.
