@lewis_goodall Learned his craft on the fields at Wast hills which I'm sure you know well!

@cmonmun @Samfr I agree with this. My point was that their financial investment wasn't the main factor. But perhaps he didn't just mean financial when he used the word investment

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@Benjaminbloom Easy to feel sorry for him with Wolves until you remember he doesn't show any loyalty himself

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@Frencheconomics Considering the risk, initial cost and low return of business relief investments, I'm not sure you'd even need to offer a coupon

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@graeme_cobb Is this analysis possibly slightly UK centric. Just returned from France where I barely saw a Chinese car. Almost all the EVs were Stellantis brands.

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@JonNeale @brianpiehouse @jimrn1875 Is it because it's rare for an outsider to accidentally pass through the nice bits (Sutton Coldfield, or the southern inner suburbs). Whereas most people have passed through on the train or have seen Birmingham from the M6.

@michael_merrick Id do something similar but I'd ideally like to see ks3 run till end y10 with subject assessment which are lower stake than gcse. Then a much more flexible qualification regime between 15-18 which could cater for academic/vocational and apprenticeships, and different abilities.

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@John_Stepek @1867ben @David_J_Robbins Slightly depressing, but it hardly needs reform... if we continue in the direction we're heading, almost all of us will end up as higher-rate taxpayers anyway.

@JonNeale Is the growth in HMOs the cause or effect of flat numbers falling outside of London.

@dontdelay For most goods (when supply increases), increased income just means higher consumption with no real terms increase in prices

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@dontdelay The same argument can be made about boomers buying houses in high interest env, and paying their mortgages in a much lower interest env (and millennials now doing the opposite) In both cases the only reason that house prices rise considerably is because supply is so constrained

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@dontdelay Imagine the administration involved in working people accessing their state pension flexibly through their life. I wish I had this level of confidence in the UK state

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@ItsTaz1989 The irony of all this will be the inequality in the liberty that dual nationals will have in comparison with those with single nationality who will have to do as they are told.

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@dontdelay It also makes no political sense. If there is one thing that worries voters it's that the state pension becomes a mean tested benefit. In the eyes of many this will be seen as the first step towards this and I imagine many will wrongly believe the proposal is to do this.

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@dontdelay Id also add, the rather generous personal allowance, incentives people to retire and take pension income before receiving the state pension when it would be taxed.

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@rcolvile It is such a shame. They could have been the party that finally offered radical adult social care reform instead and used the savings from triple lock to help pay for it.

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@bswud @maxtempers They are missing an opportunity to offer a quid pro quo: removing the triple lock in exchange for meaningful adult social care reform

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@delves1 Its almost irrelevant how much parkland the city has in total, what matters is where they are. Agree it didn't require a central park in the past, but city centres are now leisure destinations and all the new flat dwellers don't have gardens.

[Arthur Paneal @Arthur_Paneal]

@bswud Another improvement is we can use AI to make the CGI images developers use look more like how they will appear in real life.
