I spotted this on LinkedIn this morning and it felt like a useful reminder for me of why international men's day is so important.

This is absolute insanity. University no longer makes financial sense in the UK
I borrowed £43,871 when I went to uni and graduated in 2020. I have been paying off my Plan 2 student loan since April 2021. Today, my balance is £89,861.50. Back in August 2024 my interest rate was 8% each month. To put that into context, that’s £590.90, and I could only afford to pay £115.00. How is this fair? In 2016 I was told it would feel like a household bill or a trip to the cinema. Now it’s the difference between getting on the property ladder or staying in rented flat shares. Every month, to this day, £307.30 of interest is added to my bill. And I’m projected to pay 9% of my salary for the next 25 years to repay my student loan. This has to end. A Restore Britain government will fix this injustice and will always put British men and women first.

There’s also currently nowhere in the south of England (closest is the midlands) where you can buy a 3 bed semi for at or below the £273K national average property price.
The average house price in the U.K. is now £273k. With a 10% deposit of £27.3k you’d need to take out a £245.7k mortgage, meaning you’d need to be earning about £55k per year. Okay if you’re a couple trying to get on the property ladder. Not so easy for a single person.

So this air traffic control issue that’s been described as a ‘glitch’… is obviously a #cyberattack , right? We’ve literally just been told to expect this sort of thing to start happening

Much as I love having my little ones with me, my diet always goes to shit and exercise pretty much goes out the window 🫤 Is it too early to give up on 2026 and start talking about #2027fitnessgoals ? 😂

Just watched bits of Fury vs Mariusz Wach again I can’t believe Fury wants to fight Usyk again after that performance 😂. Wach (also Fury) looked like an out of shape 60yr old & still landed cleanly on Fury. It’ll be a humiliating end for TF’s career if if happens. #furyusyk3

Energy bills are about to go up 4%. UK inflation which is obviously already higher than the official records indicate, is about to go through the roof . It looks like we’re set for a tough winter 😢

As the Home Office are issuing guides for asylum seekers, I thought I would do a couple of my own, for all men.

🚨 BREAKING: THE £38 BILLION LABOUR TAX RAID HAS JUST LEAKED. Good morning to the millions of everyday, hardworking Brits waking up this Monday morning to an absolute financial slaughter. Andy Burnham is preparing to launch a massive, unprecedented £38 billion tax raid the second he takes the keys to Number 10 this Friday. 🤡 This brings Labour's total tax grab to a staggering £104 billion every single year when combined with Rachel Reeves's previous business raids. Reform UK has just exposed his planned torrent of new taxes that were completely hidden from the manifesto. He is preparing to slap a 10% death tax on family homes, align capital gains tax with income tax, and hit landlords with National Insurance to drive up your rents. He is even lowering the mansion tax threshold to just £1.5 million to drag ordinary middle-class homeowners into higher rates. They are treating the British public like a bottomless ATM to fund their out-of-control, socialist spending spree. If Burnham has the audacity to impose £38 billion of brand-new, undemocratic taxes on your family, he has absolutely zero mandate to govern. We do not want a backroom coronation. We want a vote. RT if you demand an immediate General Election to stop this robbery and take our country back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

A home in Britain now costs 8.3 times the average annual salary. In 1996, it was 3.5 times.

This is Sean Egan. He joined Morrisons at the age of 17. After 29 years of dedication at supermarket chain, he was dismissed for confronting a shoplifter, which led to a scuffle with thief who spat at him. A shameful decision by @Morrisons. He should be thanked, not sacked.

Activist: "Your cows are fed soy from cleared rainforests." Farmer: "My cows eat grass." Activist: "All cattle eat soy." Farmer: "Mine don't. They're ruminants. Grass is literally what they're designed to eat." Activist: "Industrial cattle are fed soy." Farmer: "I'm not industrial. I'm watching them eat grass right now." Activist: "But most beef comes from..." Farmer: "Most beef in Britain comes from grass-fed cattle. We have this thing called rain. Makes grass grow quite well." Activist: "The statistics say...." Farmer: "The statistics are global. You're standing in Cumbria." Activist: "Still, the global supply chain..." Farmer: "Doesn't include me. My supply chain is: grass to cow to butcher to customer. Four steps. No soy." Activist: "You're an exception." Farmer: "I'm the norm here."

Last night scum stole the statue of my Grandfather Teddy Baldock Britain's youngest ever World Boxing Champion. The statue was unveiled outside the Langdon Park DLR Station in Poplar, East London. Years of work and a stunning work of art by the sculptor, the late Carl Payne will be sold for scrap and melted down. Please retweet in case we can recover it.

20-year-old Derrick Byrd charges back into a raging house fire to rescue his 8-year-old niece, suffering severe burns on his face, arms, and back. His words? "I'd do it again—even if I got burnt worse or died." True heroism! 🔥❤️
