New start-up adds wings to your car so you can pay less tax, just like billionaires with private jets.


Fully agree!

Montreal is the most underrated city in the world.



If bosses are hiring people with no right to work in this country, then arrest the bosses.


If the migrant problem were half as bad as they say it is, then we must have a hell of a lot more swans than I'd thought.


As long ago as 2004 our dev team at Fotango of all places, made the decision to have any line of source code we relied upon above libc checked into our own version control. I still feel like this was a sensible move.


It's almost as if the consequences of a decade and a half of austerity continue to reveal themselves.

Took two teenage girls shopping in Bristol today. As we circled the carpark two drug addicts were getting their gear ready. As we walked to the big shopping centre a man high as a kite was trying to pick his phone off the floor and finding it highly amusing that he kept failing…



I find it astonishing that this country is considering legislation that make it free for corporations to train machines with the same data that we charge young people to learn in university.


Well done Lewis Goodall. I've been arguing for a 100% tax on inheritance for years. If you don't like it, give the money to your kids before you die.

Globally, we're moving back towards an aristocracy of wealth, more akin to the 19th century than the 20th. Anyone who cares about social justice, about moving away from higher and higher levels of taxation on work, should be very concerned. Time to do something about it.



"Nearly gets mugged"? Did the would-be mugger miss and mug someone else? Did they give up and wander off half way through the mugging? Or did it just not happen.

Wife visits London. Told her to be constantly aware of her surroundings and not display any possessions. Wife goes shopping. Wife nearly gets mugged outside Selfridges. Wife is now scared to leave the hotel. Wife says it's the last time she's visiting London.



The ⁦@Telegraph⁩ still writes about "internet users" as if it's a few nerds in their mother's basement. It's 2025. Everybody uses the internet.

The Online Safety Act is a monumental own goal for the government. I hate that it's true, but I think it's almost indisputable that they're cooked.


The idea that I have to "build" a chunk of static html is actually insane.


What could be more fair than taxing a dead person who can no longer benefit from the money?

Inheritance tax should be abolished.



So good to have an Austrian GP that doesn't have a constant stream of track limits warnings.

Why doesn't my phone and iPad have an option to make the background the image currently being captured by the camera, to make the whole thing appear transparent?


$88b in tariff revenue that has come from the pockets of US corporations and citizens.

🚨 JUST IN - THE EXPERTS WERE WRONG: Trump announces a massive $88 BILLION in tariff revenue. Just wow.



We shouldn't be responding to this graph by cutting sickness benefits. We should respond by asking what the hell is so wrong with our country that 25-34 years are getting so sick? Actually, never mind, we already know. It's poverty.

The fastest rising age group on sickness benefits is 25-34 year olds: up 69% in just five years
