📺 Enjoyed my (for the moment) regular Monday morning on GB News
❓How did we do? 
*We can get off the road to serfdom*
Entrepreneurs will lead the way to freedom as the pace of social progress accelerates through current and new technologies which create opportunities for a free society undreamt of by our forebears.

😊Could social media be made happier by design? Can companies break out of groupthink while avoiding conflict?
💡Professor Paul Dolan and I think so.
🎙️We discuss X-odus: people leaving X for other platforms. Could Elon Musk do something about it? We think so.

😇In every generation, kind souls are seduced by socialism’s utopian promise of heaven on earth.
🩸In his excellent new book, @GilesUdy restates the truth: socialism means poverty and oppression, misery and mass murder.

Thanks - glad to be involved. 14 years in parliament diverted me.
🤝I am delighted to join Axiom as an advisor.

🗣️”The importance of a social safety net which works is obvious. The consequences of one which is chronically unaffordable should now be heaving into view. The importance of sound money to a just and equitable market economy deserves further elaboration.”
Many thanks to everyone who has zapped me! An unexpected joy! 🍻

🗣️”The incoming Trump administration has announced its intention to back a “strategic Bitcoin reserve”. That catapults what was once a fantastical thought experiment, one to be stumbled upon in obscure online message boards, to a major issue in global geopolitics and the financial system.
❓“Financial institutions and governments now must answer whether Bitcoin is part of a speculative bubble inflated by easy money or part of the answer to it.”
🗽I firmly believe #BTC is part of the solution and I’m proud to join Axiom today as an advisor.

🎄The GB News Christmas trees are standing by. I’ll be on with Andrew and Ellie from 10:20 📺 
I was with you on nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx ‘s podcast until you said join the conservative party ;-) I feel you need to justify that somewhat more. From what I have read of Herbert that you spoke of, it seems even the Conservatives are still a long way from his writings (whom I presume you concur with).
Please see my Substack.
I’m not on a mission to persuade you or anyone else. I’ve made my case. People can take it or leave it.
I am what I am, yes. But if you form unrealistic expectations of what an individual can achieve, you will always be disappointed.
Psalm 146:3 refers
People who want government reflecting the principles of a free society need to join and stay in the Conservative Party.
That isn’t very popular. An old saying is, “In democracies, electorates get the government they deserve.” 🤷🏻♂️
I’ll be doing what I can in public life and private business but the state has power over us all and there’s only one way to steer and diminish it.
Again, I won’t lie to you.
Again, it’s just not how politics works. You can’t force MPs out 1-by-1. Labour have massive power at least until the PM decides to have an election in about 2029.
I won’t lie to you. It’s among the reasons I am less popular than some. I lift the lid on politics on my Substack. People can believe what I write from first hand experience or not. I can’t force you.
🤷🏻♂️
If you think I’m new to sound money, you haven’t been following my work.
EG, 2010 maiden speech:
https://www.cobdencentre.org/2010/06/an-honest-money-maiden-speech/
And I led the first parliamentary debate on the monetary system since the 1844 Bank Charter Act:
https://www.cobdencentre.org/2014/11/money-creation-and-society-debate-in-full/
There’s plenty more. I’ve nothing to prove on this front. A long record speaks for itself.
Call a General Election (UK)
1.2 million signatures and climbing around 1,000 every 20-30 seconds. But … do we have a viable alternative? nostr:npub1z74dj8y9xgq3lmz3eyvarzmwxwllhuzewz2exwz5j57tf6jssmss9pd4yx nostr:npub13k8vp6ylmagffppknaepalcpl0g07rrkwxgdq8c732lnad4gmekq4huf2d nostr:npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx
It’s a good stunt but the chance of it leading to an election is zero.
It’s definitely the worst system for governing a country, apart from all the others that have been tried from time to time.
