Great example of the UK tax system not always being economical. The cost to HMRC in terms of time and the cost of subsequent multiple letters telling me I owe £1.80 will be far greater than £1.80. #HMRC #IncomeTax

World Cup: England fans dig deep for pricier pints - good example of third degree price discrimination. Alcohol is considerably more price inelastic when England are playing in the World Cup! https://t.co/Ndc8Vrzsn2

UK government borrowing falls more than expected. PSNB (annual borrowing) for 2017/18 was £39.5bn with PSND (national debt) at £1.8tn. Slowly getting towards the long awaited balanced budget! #fiscalpolicy @edgbarrowschool https://t.co/kw7qYxtGef

UK trade deficit widened to £6.4bn in the three months to February. That said, the longer term picture has been one of a slow, but fairly steady narrowing in the deficit, starting in 2009.
