@DanNeidle Surely the fact that we pay at least one full percentage point above EU countries on interest is part of the equation. The markets don’t trust us
@RichardDawkins I spent 3 months with Iain in the OMO valley southern Ethiopia in 1972. He was a quite remarkable man who made an extraordinary contribution
@SamerHattar Trump claimed that the DOGE team had found “$8 million for making mice transgender,” and added: “This is real.”
The mice in question were not “transgender”; they were “transgenic,” and were genetically altered for use in scientific experiments to learn more about human health.
@labourlewis A fine piece of writing and crystal clear. All solutions come from acknowledging the problem. A longer article on similar theme appeared in the FT last week. Thanks for this Clive.
@BGatesIsaPyscho@BenWallace70 Steady on folks! The debate has become irrational and hysterical lead by Clarkson types. Massive land purchases by no. Farming wealthy as a tax avoidance scheme rightly has to stop!
@TorstenBell Completely agree. The behaviour of the BBC and Channel 4 News quite reprehensible. In our area, farmland has been brought up by a British property developer living in Dubai who has jacked up local land prices. The debate is hysterical and irrational. Lazy press reporters at work.
