We are witnessing the unwind of the WW2 economic order.
What's happening now is much bigger than tariffs. For nearly 80 years the US exported dollars while importing goods & debt. That system is failing.
What's next? A move back to a neutral reserve currency. Got #Bitcoin?
Robertโs answer is not Reform policy.
As the person responsible for our deportation plan I want ensure people know where we stand:
If a foreign national lives in social housing at taxpayer expense, they automatically fail our economic test and will be deported.
@FUDdaily The truth is you dont actually know anything for certain because you arent there, have never been in there, and wont be there. Whereas Danny and Dom have.

Some local thoughts follow...So I'm reading up on my local elections, having recently moved to the area, and I'm learning that my borough (Lambeth), has one of the biggest waiting lists for council housing in London... ๐งต
For a thousand years we have traded blows, barbs, and the occasional reluctant alliance, from Agincourt's muddy fields to Waterloo's decisive square, from the Entente Cordiale that saved civilisation to those moments when we eye each other across the Channel like quarrelsome spouses who secretly relish the rows. No other rivalry quite measures up: the Germans are too earnest, the Americans too distant, the Scots too familial.
It's a relationship that has shaped empires, toppled monarchies, and produced Concorde and the Tunnel precisely when we deigned to cooperate. Other nations may compete or clash, but they lack our delicious, centuries-honed intimacy. It's knowing that we alone are permitted to tease and prod one another, because beneath the froideur beats the certain knowledge that when the world truly turns dark, the English and the French will, with maximum grumbling, stand shoulder to shoulder once more.
a 15% cut in GDP over 30 years sounds devastating, but it's just a mechanical consequence of slower population growth. a smaller population means a smaller aggregate pie. that's it.
since the GFC, GDP is up 20%. do you feel 20% richer? if not, maybe the 'GDP line go up = good' framework is overdue a rethink.
