Discussing #bitcoin with Rupert Lowe, Reform MP. Rupert was very open to the idea and discussing it within the Reform Party.
We also got onto the subject of Ripple/XRP.

Just got to this section in the interview. Has there been any further discussion with Reform about bitcoin? Would be a shame to let it drop away.
Too soon Nigel. Too soon.
Nigel Farage is now treading a fearful path to grand failure of his own making; today’s “sources close” story tells me he knows it.
The future of our nation already rests on the shoulders of Nigel Farage: he will decide the next government.
He has trapped himself by his success and seems to know it.

Well, as a Welsh man I'm looking forward to what happens in the Senedd elections next year. From everyone I speak to, most say they are voting for Reform. I fully expect Labour to get a kicking. That could set the tone for the next few years
I see #Wales are playing terrible again Vs #Italy

Why can't you easily lend your Bitcoin in the UK without incurring a tax charge?
Largely because the current tax treatment of lending Bitcoin sees the transfer as a taxable event.
By contrast with stocks, shares and other securities, Bitcoin falls outside the scope of repurchase or “repo” legislation that enables the lending of securities to be tax neutral. This has to change.
There's a huge economic opportunity here, and the UK’s financial services sector needs to seize it; to capitalise on this £1 trillion-plus market, particularly by providing collateralised loans and other financial services that facilitate asset management.
Yesterday, nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqz74dj8y9xgq3lmz3eyvarzmwxwllhuzewz2exwz5j57tf6jssmssdz6m0z were proud to collaborate in drafting and adding our name to a letter sent to Rachel Reeves, Emma Reynolds and James Murray, urging them to prioritise legislation to treat the lending of Bitcoin as a "no gain, no loss" transaction. This change would simply reflect economic reality and ensure that Bitcoin is treated in just the same way as securities currently are.
We're pleased to sign this letter alongside Coinbase, Greengage, Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, Recap and many others.
We keep hearing that 'growth' is a priority for this Government. Let's now see those words turned into actions. 
That's great news. Although I fear you are pissing in the wind.
I'm guessing in 3 more days with the difficulty adjustment it will charge.
Who's still friends with Tom on #MySpace?
Thanks. I'd say it's been a struggle but it really hasn't. I wasn't a big drinker to start with though. Those times were left in my 20s and 30s. I naturally cut down as I got older and had children.
Still, it's good to stop. At least for me it is. No hangovers at all and feel fresh each morning with the kids and work.
Enjoying a cup of tea sitting in the garden. Bit nippy but quiet enjoyable with a coat.
At some point I'm going to have to clean up the 2 dead birds that a fox has had fun with.

Some would say you need to be careful of pissing off the "nice" people. The people who want to be left alone
