@notayesmansecon From a quick search I couldn't find any comments from you on Modern Monetary Theory. It's been brought back into the Scottish independence debate following the recent election. In light of that, and increasing interest rates in Japan & elsewhere, wondered what you think of MMT?

[Alastair Smith @AlastairSmith2]

@notayesmansecon Hi Shaun. Any thoughts on Sarah Breedon's comments which are reported by the BBC today with the headline "Stock markets are too high and set to fall, says Bank of England deputy" ?

@nationalrailenq @AvantiWestCoast @CalSleeper @CrossCountryUK @ScotRail @TPEassist I understand that; thanks for your reply. Suggest that you clarify that the previously-announced reduced services are operating. There's a risk they could be halted if new danger emerges, which is what current warnings look like. I want to go from Carlisle to Glasgow on Saturday.

@nationalrailenq @AvantiWestCoast @CalSleeper @CrossCountryUK @ScotRail @TPEassist It would be useful if your X account and those you tagged (and @NetworkRailGLC) and your updated video could each day say "the previously-announced reduced services into Glasgow Central are expected to continue operating today" when that is the case.

[Alastair Smith @AlastairSmith2]

@nationalrailenq @AvantiWestCoast @CalSleeper @CrossCountryUK @ScotRail @TPEassist Info provided on Glasgow Central is v unclear. The page shows 8 March; its updates are very general and the Plan A Journey pages warn of Major Disruption continuing until the 22nd. Which implies that the reduced services into Central have stopped when (I think) they're running?

@JamieHardesty Great stuff - hope you're enjoying the trip Jamie. I believe that overseas a bottle of Dog is very much a hipster tipple. Quite right too. 🍻
