Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 7hThis would be interesting as a stand alone proposal. But, fuck if this makes 6 man rotations inevitable I don't like it, at all 010
Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 7hI do wonder who'd be the first team to choose the higher seed. Because that'd be some very interesting sports psychology within that for the team selected 030

Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 07/10/2026What gets me about this is he doesn't have to do it. He can just do nothing. Rowling does not need to be indulged in any way. I'm not asking him to actively oppose her. Just don't do the indulging, just like that post about the new shop. 000
Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Just a case in point. Person x owns a property worth 1m house which is 5 bedrooms. They can buy a 3 bed bungalow for 450K. That 550K is now released from the property and looking at the policy would be IHT liable. So many older folks would just not do that for IHT reasons 152
Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's almost certainly an exaggeration, but it feels like this could have even bigger impacts than just scrapping IHT under £10M. 000

Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That's what I thought too, but I wasn't certain. I think a lot of people pre kids can survive a level of that radicalisation from their parents too, but exposing young kids to that potential situation is a different story all together. That's when it's probably most bitter? 120
Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I also love the concept of 'do what the big constituent nation thinks' as a concept. Because if that was how it worked, Belfast would not be part of the UK... 100
Reposted by MattRobin Berjon @robin.berjon.com · 07/10/2026I don't think people internationally measure quite how violent the French police is in its interventions against kids. It gives you a good sense of what to expect if the fash win the elections next year. 716465
Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Such a chicken and egg situation. Have they radicalised in part because having this happen. Or did they radicalise and then have their kids become estranged? 100

Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Absolutely. The vast majority of regional solicitors are 'successful but not rich', so much falling in that 60-80K range. That's your target market lads! 110
Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 05/10/2026So maybe a brand new shadow minister shouldn't be talking about no-go areas? 000

Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I just want to understand how the 100K tax trap change (which is good) is going to win over the far bigger number of earners around 70K with little chance of hitting that trap; while doing all the culture war stuff 110

Matt @mr3402.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's bizarre because DAZN sometimes run their own ads, they were doing so on the Alabama game I had on my second screen. Other games, full blown Midwestern ads in midterm October. Do not get it at all! 100
