@afneil Wouldn't it be right and fair to credit the source of your 'insight' who posted it on here this morning? @DanNeidle

@JonKula @DanNeidle Agree it’s a strange quirk but it’s the optics of giving people on £120k+ a tax cut. Would need to be part of a broader tax cuts for those less well off as well.

@renewablesmiffy Because without it you don’t have food, abundant food at least.

@ret_ward The problem with your thinking is that the rest of the world doesn’t give a stuff about “the signals” we send.

@FinanceTiger You’re financially illiterate then. You’d lose out on tax relief (even at the lower 20%) and employers contributions. If 20% tax relief is good enough for low earners why not high earners?

@labourlewis Why did @UKLabour government allow them to raise prices their by over 30% less than a year ago.

Someone maliciously added Tax Policy Associates to the Block List Project malware list.

Likely someone trying to bury one of our investigations. It worked.: some ISPs are now blocking our website.

I filed a detailed false-positive request four days ago. No response.

@implausibleblog A VAT cut would cost £12bn per year and wouldn’t result in lower prices for consumers. Better the government accepted they screwed up and reversed the NI increases that started it all in the first place.

@LaLaGioconda @StewartWood It’s Corbyn’s fault. If he had campaigned for remain the vote could have been won.

@RichardJMurphy Scottish nationalism good, English nationalism bad?

[Duncan Lloyd @Duncan_Lloyd]

@RichardJMurphy Everyone? I’m not sure that’s correct.

It’s been obvious for years, why is the pitlane (@tedkravitz) audio ahead of the broadcast pictures? Come on @SkySportsF1 sort it out.

Here is Feargal Sharkey explaining that the £100bn figure that is quoted by the government for the cost to renationalise the water industry comes from a report funded by the water companies themselves.

@HalBeowa @afneil The Evidence is clear, Nordic countries and Canada are global leaders in education equity and social mobility due to inclusive policies & late selection. Germany’s early selection correlates with lower social mobility, despite a strong vocational sector. The UK performs better.
