I find the whole idea of benefits to people who work full time repulsive and counterproductive.
Whenever I mention PIP I always get "but people on PIP work". They don't, only 15% of people on PIP work, but that's not the point.
If you can work, then you can support yourself. If you have some extra costs associated with an ailment you have then that's unfortunate, but it's not the states job to subsidise them. There are a whole lot of reasons outsides of health that people have greater costs than others, we don't subsidise those.
The same goes for UC for people in work. We should not be subsidising people do live beyond what they can support themselves, especially with an ever increasing minimum wage. It's market interference. The taxpayer is subsiding employers paying lower wages, or landlords charging higher rents.
In my opinion, this is a big driver of low productivity in the UK. We removed the incentive to strive for more.
When I was younger benefits were for those that could not work, the truly disabled, and they should be supported. They for those out of work temporarily but who had to find a job within a reasonable time. Until Tony Blair, benefits for working people were rare. Now people expect it.
This is a zero sum game. Every work shy 22 year old with "anxiety" is taking money from a genuinely disabled person that does need help. I believe many people that have genuine need for support don't get anywhere near enough because so many people that don't are diverting it from where it is needed.

Yes, and actually much more.
Tesla’s stated 125k Cybercab capacity is very conservative. A Model Y line runs at ~30-second takt time → 120 vehicles/hour → ~1 million per year. Tesla’s official target for Cybercab is 10 seconds (which would be ~3M/year). Lars has already said the 125k figure undersells what the line can actually do.
Realistically, the Cybercab line should be able to match or beat Model Y takt time. So ~1 million units per year is a fair assumption once ramped.
They also built the first Cybercab line in roughly 4–6 months from major tooling start to first production units. If they wind down the Cybertruck line in mid-2027, a second Cybercab line could be running by early 2028 (you may need a couple of months to dismantle the Cybertruck line, but the second Cybercab line should be much faster to install). Wanting a second line online in 2028 strongly implies they expect the first line to be maxed out by then. That makes 1 million Cybercabs in 2028 a reasonable first-principles forecast and not crazy from a manufacturing standpoint.
But here’s the problem:
If Tesla owns most of them (as Elon said on the earnings call), and one Supercharger stall can support ~50 Cybercabs, then 1 million vehicles need ~20,000 dedicated stalls.
Today Tesla adds roughly 6,000 stalls per year in the U.S. (mostly for public use). Grid interconnection typically takes ~12 months on average, and Megapacks are largely sold out through 2027, so storage isn’t a quick workaround.
That means a 2028 fleet of 1 million Tesla-owned Cybercabs is not supportable on the current charging build rate. Something doesn’t add up. Either:
1. We should see Tesla aggressively building large Cybercab charging hubs starting very soon (no later than Q1 2027), or
2. The Cybercab line is significantly slower than a Model Y line (maybe ~4× slower), capping output closer to 250k/year, which could be absorbed without a massive infrastructure ramp.
Right now we see no clear sign of (1).
So which is it?
PS: @JOBhakdi Just to clarify: this is about 2028 scale, not 2027. The infrastructure gap is what makes the production numbers hard to reconcile under the “Tesla owns most of the fleet” model. I was not talking about 2027, as you seemed to have understood in your latest show with @herbertong.

The reason that new builds rarely hold up is that you are effectively paying a solidarity tax when you buy one
When you sell the house, the new buyer rarely picks up the tax
S106 agreements used to tax new home buyers & pillage housing under the guise of community development and infrastructure spend is probably one of the most pernicious deceptions in Britain. teapaw.org/maxtempers/status/2058…

Fantastic talk. Zhang suggests that China’s strategic patience is a function of the previous generation’s pro-Western Dengist consensus that placed economic development above strategic interests. The new generation has much greater appetite for resistance.
He suggests that the trigger that forces the Chinese out of their low-energy ground state will be Western color revolution-style meddling in Asia, above all, China itself.
The Chinese are beginning to realize, he points out further, that it’s better to fight the US when the US is militarily engaged in both Europe and West Asia.
Finally, he says that the Israeli entrapment guarantees that the US will never be able to leave West Asia. This is advantageous for China. And since Iran is the power able and willing to threaten Israel, China has a very strong interest in Iranian survival and power.
Let me get this straight.
YTL, the Malaysian conglomerate that owns Wessex Water and the “Brabazon” housing development and new stadium construction in Bristol, is also providing AI datacenter services/compute to Megaspeed, a shady company with the sole intention of providing compute to large Chinese AI customers, including Alibaba, bypassing US trade restrictions. Allegedly.
Meanwhile, whilst they act in interests that seemingly harm Britain’s national security, Wessex Water is operating a hosepipe ban on 2.6 million customers around Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
And of course, the arena will be sponsored by Aviva, one of the UK’s large insurance companies.
Why do we let treacherous foreign conglomerates take control of our infrastructure and sponsor them for the privilege? What happened to our national security and integrity?
And they have the cheek to keep operating under The Great name of WESSEX?
13) In October 2025, $NVDA partner YTL AI Cloud opened a $4.3B data center in Johor housing Blackwell servers. A current Megaspeed employee told us Megaspeed is "one of the most important customers" for YTL, but the parties conceal it, fearing regulatory repercussions.

Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

Why I'm skeptical of multiculturalism as a classical liberal:
I'm frequently asked how I can be a classical liberal without supporting multiculturalism. There are many reasons why but let me share with you my basic rationale.
Liberty is not a given. It can only be possible or functional once some institutions are in place. Institutions neither work nor can be sustained by themselves. They need people who value them, find it natural to abide by them, and will defend them when they are attacked. This means that a culture of people who will find these institutions valuable is a necessary requirement for protecting a society in which people can enjoy a substantial range of liberties.
When liberals become ideological, they become reductive, and in turn, they neglect culture and view humans only as economic agents, as producers and consumers.
A multicultural experiment in which large numbers from people of cultures that don't find these institutions valuable or natural to abide by creates a powder keg ready to explode. Self-destruction is not a virtue.

One of the reasons crime numbers are going down in many places around the world and especially in Europe is that police simply won't let you report crimes anymore
It's clear that the big European cities are getting less safe and more run down when you visit them but you wouldn't see that from the decreasing crime statistics they publish
Yesterday I read a Dutch lawyer was sexually harassed in Amsterdam and when filing a police report, she was advised by the police not to!
Police have an incentive to show decreasing crime numbers, and they're usually underfunded so they also simply don't have the means to process so many police reports
When I visited the police station in Lisbon recently there was nobody available to help us either, or we'd have to wait for hours
Below a story from my Spanish friend who had the same in Spain!
This seems to be the case in many places now which is why we can't trust supposedly decreasing crime statistics anymore I think
The Police in Spain 🇪🇸 refuses to let me file a report
As it's always the case with European bureaucracy, I need a million documents to file a report about the theft I suffered last week
It's a really perverse system. The bank refuses to acknowledge the theft without a police report...
And the police refuses to file one without a lot of detailed data from the bank. Which I can't get
At least in Paraguay 🇵🇾, public services don't work either, but you can easily bypass bureaucracy by knowing the right people
In Spain? You lose 50% of your income to taxes, and don't get any kind of protection, healthcare, quality education, good roads, good public transport...

Rees-Mogg should be aware of C.S. Lewis’s warning that when our leaders—very much including the government Rees-Mogg was involved in—strip away all traditional morality, they cannot then selectively appeal to aspects of it. In this case ‘duty’.
Furthermore you are asking white men, who don’t have equal rights under current interpretations of the law, to go to war for a country that despises them.
A country that also priorities illegal migrants over the native population that sustains it.
If all that is a bit theoretical, let me put it in simple terms: Mogg can get fucked.
News🇬🇧🔥🇷🇺: "Over the next few years we may have to go to war, some of you may die? but this is about doing your DUTY".
Watch as @Jacob_Rees_Mogg goes into new levels of pomposity rarely seen in British politics, since Lord Kitchener pointed at British men and cried "Your country Needs You".
Mogg demands and expects that most white working class Brits go 'over the top' for a King and Government who treat them with sheer contempt.
Under JRM's best friend and fellow bumchum at Eton, Boris Johnson, the UK was intentionally flooded with around 5 million Islamist loving migrants and African former military, blighting the nation for decades to come perhaps forever.
Sir Jacob gushes over King Charles III, who is more interested in the "wisdom of Islam", than speaking out against the planned invasion of our/his Kingdom.
This former Tory MP is laying the table for the UK and Europe being involved in a full-scale war with Russia. He demands that you and your sons head over into the meat grinder to satisfy his sense of "duty".
Going into the slaughterhouse of Ukraine, where perhaps over 1 million white Christian men have died, is not the Falklands, or any form of conflict which threats British sovereignty under the Thomas Aquinas Just War Theory.
The Thomas Aquinas war in his work 'Summa Theologiae', arguing that war is not always a sin if it meets strict moral criteria.
Ukraine is a proxy war for EU expansion and theft, by an institution which has destroyed Europe via 'net-zero, mass immigration and super demonic DEI diktats.
Tell me @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, when will you and yours be popping of into the Zelensky/EU/NATO killing machine to satisfy your deities and quench your thirst for patriotic blood, by a King and government who abandoned indigenous Brits decades ago?
Thank you for your service, Newtenant.
It would seem the government care more about newts, than the residents of Piddington. mol.im/a/16136853

Roderick James Nugent Stewart says "there's more important issues in Britain than Muslim rape gangs".
He says they "happened 10 years ago"
They're still operating Rod, openly, and with our borders open, the world is pouring in and joining the attacks.
Clueless posh cunts!
I don’t believe that Dan has considered the psychological effect IHT has on people. A strong motivator for many conservative type people is to leave assets for one’s children. For the Malaysian Chinese it is the STRONGEST motivator to work hard. They view IHT as fundamentally demoralising and immoral.
If the priority is growth then this makes little sense. There are lots of tax cuts that can drive growth (including SDLT, which the Tories previously said they wanted to abolish)
The evidence suggests IHT abolition has little or no impact on growth. oecd.org/en/publications/inh…

In recent weeks, Trump has said he would not help Britain defend the Falklands, suggested that British sovereignty over the islands is under review, and is now pursuing unprecedented arms sales to Argentina.
Some “special relationship” that is.
It is increasingly clear that Britain can no longer assume American support, and our entire security apparatus will have to adjust accordingly.
It is a tragedy. Anglo-Saxon nations should stand by one another before anyone else.
