Look I get David's running out of stories for Would I Lie to You but this is a bit much

Smartest thing the government could do is give Dan a peership and get him involved in tax policy as a minister in some role. Maybe in reviving the Office of Tax Simplification as he mentioned in a recent FT article.

People ask how this is possible, but everything he's doing now is stuff he could've done (and did) in 2016. He hasn't changed and the American public knew he hadn't changed and still voted for him.

Reform/Farage make ridiculous claims all the time but this might be the worst. Ignoring everything else, if it was that easy to deport every single illegal immigrant dont you think any country anywhere in the world would've done it by now? How on earth would you know when you've even achieved this?

My feeling on AI/LLMs is it will end up the same as 3D printers: When 3D printers were first announced, I remember people going overboard thinking it was the end of manufacturing and everyone would have their own mini factory.

The reaction to this statement is probably the most surprising. Despite what people think, the messaging has been very consistent: A food/drink deal with the EU, tech deal with the US and some sort of renewables deal with China. Now whether this is actually possible is a whole other discussion.

I'm stuck between my hate for Elon and my hate for technical analysis

Not too sure where the hypocrisy is here. If 25% of Americans think they'd be better off working in manufacturing thats 85 million people. There's only 13 million people total working in US manufacturing currently.

9:37 AM: Trump tweets "Great time to buy" 1:18 PM : Trump announces pauses on tariffs causing the markets to rocket Good thing the SEC and all the financial regulators in the US are stronger than ever right?

US markets turn green (for now) when everyone on social media was expecting circuit breakers and a re-run of black monday. Good rule when following the stock markets: If people who never talk about the markets suddenly come out with strong predictions expect the opposite to happen

If Corbyn won in 2019 we would be spending 2.5% of GDP on WASPI pensions instead of defence

The issue with being a social media politician is you think you're more important than you actually are. Farage's ego was already well known, but Lowe thinking he had any leverage over him just because his tweets did well was absolute delusion. Reform is Farage, like UKIP and the Brexit Party was.

Sad to see people on here who supposedly care about honest discussion freaking out over a headline. Reeves didn't even mention Trump directly, all she talked about was how we need to sell ourselves more to attract investment.

I maintain the belief that there's too many massive egos for the right to achieve anything meaningful. Badenoch, Farage and Cummings all see themselves as political geniuses that are the future of the country when in reality they're all useless for different reasons.

Once again, black don't crack.

If the British media cannot bring themselves to question Farage and the Tories over their blatant hypocrisy of cosying up to Tommy Robinson's number one fan Elon Musk while pretending they want nothing to do with him, then there is no hope for journalism in this country.

Honestly up for this over the usual culture war bullshit
