Lets be honest...every decent person in the world hates mass murdering dictators. There has been no bigger mass murder in world history than Mao.
Let's be honest, the West hates Mao because he liberated Chinese people, united the country, and made it impossible to be a Western puppet.
Moreover, he inspired more Asian, African, and Latin American people's anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements. The West slanders any leader who refuses to obey them.
Mao was a great strategist, revolutionist, thinker, writer and leader. Long live the great unity of the people of the world!💪

○ Dijo una vez Margaret Thatcher: “El derecho de un hombre a trabajar como quiera, a gastar lo que gana, a poseer propiedades y a tener al Estado como servidor y no como amo son la esencia de una economía libre, y sobre esa libertad dependen todas nuestras otras libertades.”

Pensions will be the death of our civilisation. They are unsustainable and sucking funds out of every other essential public service.
It’s the root cause behind the protests and many of our economic and societal malaises. And it’s also the one no one wants to fix. The moment a politician decides to blow up the pension pyramid scheme it’s the moment their career ends.
We need a youth revolution that circumvents boomer’s electoral domination and imposes pension reform. It’s not like they can revolt back from their retirement homes.

I’ve lived through 14/15 different prime ministers from labour and Tories, and every single one of them have done nothing for me or my family

Taking home less than half your wage should never, ever be justified.
You should never have to work for the state more than you work for yourself.
I read a piece in the FT this week about the price of being middle class in Britain now and it said a couple earning £436,000 combined take home £216,000. That’s a crazy amount of tax, and it doesn't include VAT on purchases, council tax, stamp duty or other taxes (I think does include pension contributions). I can’t stop thinking about it.

Ce n'est pourtant pas compliqué.
Nous avons un voisin 🇨🇭 qui est le pays le plus riche du monde alors qu'ils ont 0 ressources naturelles, 0 accès à la mer, 0 cohésion linguistique, 0 projection militaire ou géopolitique ET que le pays est composé de 70% de montagnes.
Il suffirait de copier ce qu'ils font.
Je ne sais pas, merde.

Increased tax on Rental income will hit Renters.
An extra 4% for all my tenants, means nearly half of all the rent they pay now goes to the government
Not the Landlord who paid for the house, maintains it and takes all the risk

If you want to set up a hospitality business in the UK with just 3 employees you now have to find £100k. Every year. Just for wages.
Worth mentioning

Massive marginal tax rates for pensioners with incomes just above the state pension.
HOW NEW STATE PENSION TAX ALLOWANCE WILL WORK:
From April 2027, if your total annual income is not more than full new State Pension (£13,037/yr) you will not pay tax. So this is £94 extra tax free.
If your total income is slightly higher then for every £3 you earn above, you lose £1 of this extra allowance.
So if you earn £13,186 (£150 above) you would get a 'Pension Tax Allowance' meaning you pay £44ish less tax than otherwise (ie £94 minus £50)
So by total income of £13,319 you won't receive any extra allowance. HMRC will automatically apply this allowance you will not need to claim it.
I will explain better on my show tomorrow. Rushing this now #budget2026

By 2030 Britain is on course to spend half a TRILLION pounds on welfare.
There is no world in which this is sustainable, especially with zero growth and the current tax structure.
Doom spiral is guaranteed unless something drastically changes. You can’t fight physics and this budget is kicking the can down the road.
The road is running out fast.
🚨 SUMMARY: The OBR forecasts following John Healey's Budget
- Welfare spending will rise to £431.3bn by 2030/31 - an increase of £97.5bn a year in cash terms
- This includes £209.8bn on pensioner benefits, £110.7bn on Universal Credit, £69.6bn on disability benefits, £13.9bn on Child Benefit and £27.2bn on other welfare
- Inflation will peak at 3.75% in early 2027, up from the earlier prediction of 2%
- UK GDP growth will slow from around 1.25% in 2026 to 1% in 2027, before climbing to 1.6% in 2031
- Average UK unemployment will rise to 5.1% across 2026 and 2027
- The Employment Rights Act will "likely" have a negative economic impact because of reduced flexibility and greater uncertainty for businesses
- The landlord tax increases (property income) could contribute to a long-term rise in private rents and discourage landlords from entering the market
- Real household disposable income per person will be around 0.75% lower in 2030-31 than it expected in March 2026
- Higher earnings and frozen tax thresholds will increase income tax and National Insurance receipts by £9bn in 2026-27 and around £8bn on average in subsequent forecast years compared with March
- Net migration is forecast to fall to 120,000 in the year to mid-2026, then gradually rise to 230,000 by the year to mid-2031
- Nominal weekly earnings growth will slow to around 3.5% in 2026, then average roughly 2.25% a year
- Andy Burnham's first-time buyer scheme could raise house prices by increasing demand without enough new homes being built

Putting an end to this would be the easiest win in politics. No more tax rises. Deficit down. GDP up. Popular with the public.
But they can’t do it because of their lunatic, benefits-obsessed backbenchers.

Here's the real story from today's Budget, and it's honestly pretty worrying.
We heard a lot today from John Healey about 'breathing space,' but OBR's numbers tell a dramatically different story.
Real household disposable income is now forecast to fall for a second year running. Based on my estimates from the OBR's figures, the average household will be about £960 a year worse off in 2026-27 than the OBR expected just seven months ago.
Higher energy prices are feeding through to everything from energy bills to the weekly shop. Frozen tax thresholds mean more of every pay rise goes to the Treasury. Today's announced one-off £100 off energy bills doesn't come close.
Meanwhile borrowing is up, and growth is down. The OBR now expects growth of 1% next year, down from around 1.5%, and borrowing £18bn higher this year than it forecast in March.

If you've paid taxes all your life, you can save for your own retirement while working. That's actually how it works. Why would you expect taxpayers to fund benefits equal to a 38 hour working week for millions of retired people who no longer work? Such nonsense 😂

No one even thinks it's odd anymore that the government should be involving itself in the micro-details of home energy pricing.

We spend 10% more than we collect. This translates directly into inflation and debt spiralling.
This isn’t complicated. All budgets need to be cut by 10%. Hey presto we’re living within our means.
