Why the UK is financially broken, in a few simple numbers👇 We now pay £212 billion per year on on 'illness-related inactivity'. This is about 70 % of the ENTIRE INCOME TAX TAKE of the government. So 70p of every pound you pay in tax goes not to nurses, teachers, doctors,…

Quite a moment. The Mayfield review has calculated the lifetime cost of writing people off as long-term sick; it’s £1m in lost earnings for 22yo “with the state incurring a similar cost”.

When your income taxes go up, that will be because Rachel Reeves chose to raise public spending by £70bn last year. Not because of austerity, Truss, Brexit, the Pandemic or anything else. It's because Labour chose to raise spending so much. Choices have consequences. For you.

Due to Labour’s decision to wait until late November for the budget & fly ominous kites up until then, we still have another 3.5 weeks of these headlines. It’s sapping business & consumer confidence, & it’s encouraging people to pack their bags. ✈️ thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Everyone in their 20s I know is looking to leave. Those in finance are looking to Dubai, medics to Australia, coders to Lisbon. Salaries in the UK are too low, taxes too high, rent punitive. In a global marketplace, UK attracts unskilled young men and repels educated Brits.

If you think you hate living in a country with billionaires in it, you'll pretty soon find you hate much more living in a country with no billionaires in it.

This is unbelievably irresponsible. Whether or not Reeves actually tries to impose an exit charge, this kind of talk will prompt a dash for the door - and from a country that is already losing millionaires faster than anywhere except China.

As a psychotherapist, my opinion is that people should not be able to claim benefits for workplace anxiety. The treatment for anxiety is exposure, not avoidance. Allowing anxious people to avoid the very thing that causes anxiety traps them in a state of perpetual helplessness.

Thanks to the Tories and Labour, if you claim Universal Credit Health, Universal Credit Housing and PIP, you now take home £2,500 more each year than someone working full time on minimum wage. There are around a million people who do just this. How is that fair?

Islamists: *yelling* Far-left useful idiot: “There’s no need for that we’re on the same side bruv.” Islamists: “No we’re not!” When will these far-left activists realise that they’re nothing more than useful idiots to the people they fiercely defend? This clip is too perfect.

Howling 21st Century brownshirts inside UCL today, out to stop an event they didn't like. In the mayhem, the police turned people with tickets away "for their own safety". See academic freedom die on the streets of London, without any intervention. There were no arrests.

Lord Falconer says people with “learning difficulties or autism” could, with “proper assistance”, access assisted suicide. That should alarm every Peer in the Lords. Vulnerable people don’t need help to die. They need support to live.
