The government's affordable housing obligations increase the sale price by one-third. Remarkable system we've designed here.
Hope Ross catches some fire. What a creepy, oily fucker he is.

Irony is dead.
Powerful men use the law to intimidate women they’ve abused into silence.
But it’s time to flip the fear. Help us to fund cases that turn the tables on these men, empower women to speak out – and get justice:

“2000s lad culture” was not in fact wearing high heeled boots, skinny jeans, jewellery, eyeliner, and hairspray while trying to start a global love revolution based off having skim read Noam Chomsky. Brand was of course specifically supported as an alternative vision of manliness to lad culture by the Sensibles of the day.

"Books For Boys" discourse is of special interest because I have a young boy and can tell you that books for his age range, like 4-7, SUCK, you're more likely to find 10 books about Magical Black Girl Hair before you find a single one about a normal boy going on an adventure

Women calling little boys "would-be incels" should be met with the same contempt and disgust as men calling little girls "future whores" or other sexualized insults. WILDLY inappropriate way to speak of children.

Counterpoint: if you could give every child in your town’s schools breakfast and lunch every day, but it required firing two district administrators, would you do it?

Angela Rayner evades her tax responsibilities and gets away with it.
She now expects people who do the same to get 14 years.
Angela Rayner is one of the biggest hypocrites in politics.
What happens to a market when you increase regulation? That’s right! Prices obviously go down because, um, it’s, um…

Admits coming here on a student visa to get ILR.
Complains about being scammed.
That British culture of being two faced is sooo ingrained, how can you lure people in with the promise of ILR after 5 years after work and in the middle you turn around and say ‘oh no it’s now 10 years my bad’
Yet we are the ones that get the ‘Nigerian scammers’ tag,
pray tell who’s moving fraudulent now?
We all know what we are doing.

This is so funny, so able bodied people on benefits can’t work but they have the physical ability and mental prowess to engage in crime?
Andy Burnham attacked the Conservatives’ plans to cut £36bn from welfare spending, suggesting that cutting benefits would force people to turn to crime.

Thank you to @pressgazette for standing up for investigative journalism and press freedom after it received more than 500 complaints regarding my nomination for this year's British Journalism Awards pressgazette.co.uk/news/awar…

Assuming ideological and political change the United Kingdom would be the world's most promising emerging market.
Hard to answer that because at this point they're all being held back by terrible governance, but I'm partial to @SamoBurja's viewpoint that the most unfairly held-back economy of all is the UK.
It’s weird how we’ve somehow held onto the proceeds and they haven’t.
Britain should apologise for slavery & pay reparations. Our wealth today is based on the industrial revolution - partly funded by slavery
But the leaders of African nations whose kingdoms sold their own people to British slavers should also apologise
