🚨NEW: Poll reveals Brits thought the UK ranked 7th against US states in income per person, it actually ranks 51st

100%. Michael Howard warned about this new SW1 culture nearly 20 years ago on Newsnight. Under New Labour, standards were lowered, bullying and lying were normalised, and insiders endlessly rehabilitated. Mandelson is both an architect and a product of that system.

To help them get elected, Labour told a lie. This is the story of one of the biggest deceptions in British politics.

BCB Group Improvements and Releases March 2025 Q1 has been a big start to the year for the team at BCB and we wanted to share some of the highlights from the first few months of 2025. Q1 2025 BCB Product Highlights 🇺🇲Extended payment processing times for USD payments Focusing on enabling your business access to a key market like the US, has and continues to be a priority for us. Following a soft launch in December, our most recent enhancement to our USD payments account has extended the payment processing times for domestic and international payments to 9:30pm (UK). Previously it was 5pm (UK). This change better aligns to US banking hours, opening up a larger operating window in a key global market. 🇦🇺 Instant Payment rails (NPP) for Australian Dollars The release of our AUD payments account in 2024, enabled payments made via BECs (Australia’s bulk electronic clearing system). Clients with an AUD account can now also make payments and receive deposits through NPP. New Payments Platform or NPP is Australia’s national fast payments infrastructure that enables real-time payments, 24/7. Access to NPP means faster payments, streamlining transactions and improving efficiency for you and your clients. 💻 Reset 2FA in the client console Whilst new product functionality is important, we recognise the day to day and freeing up time for your teams is also critical. That’s why we continue to focus on enabling more self-service. Administrators can now reset 2FA (two factor authentication) for members of their team in our client console. 🇪🇺 EUR International Gets A Makeover We’ve also given international payments via our EUR payments account an overhaul. These changes mean transfers in your own name, extended payment cut-off times to 3pm (UK), faster settlement and quicker transaction processing, ensuring your funds settle sooner. ↔️ Straight through processing for trading Continuing the theme of automation, we’ve also invested in automating trading withdrawals. If you need to send funds from your trading account, initiating this directly from the BCB Markets trading UI (as opposed to via our Trading Ops team) means withdrawals from your trading account will now benefit from straight through processing. This means faster settlement, getting funds where you need them sooner. 💲Sharper pricing for AUD trading pairs Last but not least, we’re also able to offer improved pricing for AUD pairs. Whether you’re trading AUD with fiat or crypto pairs, our trading team can offer market leading pricing. Standard with our trading product is access to our trading desk as well as access to the trading console for self-serve. Get in touch if you want to know more. Contact your account manager if you want to know more! bcbgroup.com/insights/bcb-gr…..

I’m not a politician. As much as I admire Elon Musk - I don’t care about taking sides for political gain. The only thing I care about is trying to make this amazing country a haven for UK businesses once again. Because the reality is: 📉 2024 saw the highest number of UK business closures on record—over 330,000 businesses shut down. 🏭 We lost 37 shops a day on the high street last year. 🔻 Job losses in retail alone hit 169,395. 🚨 And that was before the new National Insurance hike kicks in. Every business owner I know is saying the same thing: 2025 will be brutal. So, I’m using the skills I’ve built over the last 17 years scaling BrewDog from a two-man startup to a billion-dollar global brand to do something about it. That’s why I launched Corgi—the Coalition for Organisational Reform and Government Improvement. 🔎 We’re tracking down billions in wasted taxpayer money. 📊 We’re putting together politically neutral reports on exactly where government spending is broken. 🛠️ We’re using experts, not politicians, to propose cost-effective solutions. And here’s what’s happened already: ✅ 350 experts have stepped up to help—public sector insiders, financial analysts, data scientists. ✅ We’re building a whistleblower network so people inside the system can finally speak out. ✅ Our first report is already in progress. Some people are calling this a "publicity stunt". Or that I have no business playing politics. Honestly? Let them call it whatever they want. Because if this “stunt” helps stop businesses from going under, stops people from losing their jobs, and stops billions of taxpayer money from being wasted— does it really matter what people call it? If we can help the UK become 10 or 15 per cent more efficient on how we spend the £1.27 trillion of taxes we deploy each year, then it makes a game-changing difference to the UK economy. I know business. I love helping businesses. It's what gets me out of bed every morning with a smile on my face. And I know how to build high-performance teams that cut inefficiencies. And I want to use that knowledge to help the UK economy recover - that's it. If you want to help, start here: corgi.global

Dear @AlJazeera and western journalists who have been acting as Hamas propagandists today (like @AlexCrawfordSky from @skynews and of course @pressfreedom) I have a question about Ismael Al-Ghoul who was arrested today. Thread ⬇️⬇️

#SCOvFRA I'm sorry, but that it clearly a try - the ball was clearly grounded. I am stunned it wasn't given. I have no skin in the game from a supporter point of view, but if I were a Scotland fan, I would be absolutely steaming.

Even TRUMP is checking the charts!
