Integrity, but only as long as I can keep it together.

@ScottMStedman I guess it turns out AI doesn’t offer all the solutions after all.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@alan_muso @LiamFox I just don’t like the assumption that our economy was already doing badly in 2016 when post 2012 firstly London and then the rest of the country was coming out of recession, whereas we then lost another decade of good growth.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@alan_muso @LiamFox Yes I accept that

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@mobfecit @SamaHoole He blocked me presumably because free thought was too expensive.

@alan_muso @LiamFox I notice all the people predicting we didn’t have any real inflation have gone very quiet.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@alan_muso @LiamFox By started I mean 2007/8 when we were told that quantitive easing wasn’t the same as printing money… 🤔🤦‍♂️

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@TerraOrBust We don’t need to know that because we do know that the BoE didn’t immediately act to reduce quantitive easing and start repaying the national debt as it should have been doing because it needed to loosen public spending instead.

That’s the cost we’re now paying.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@LiamFox Equally I don’t support rejoining because that would probably cost even more.
It’s perfectly possible for both ideas to be bad.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@LiamFox The real cost of Brexit was the money manipulation required to protect us from it which we’re now paying for.

@LoftusSteve @SimonBunce63 It could be worse. Thank god it’s not a senior US politician in bed with the Russians.

@LoftusSteve @1901gennelm Too often they have extracted cash from the UK economy as artificially enlarged interest payments on the newly created debt, so evading tax payments to the exchequer.

@cjd55yorkie @muddymuddymum I know of somebody who lost a finger

It’s heartwarming to see Mr Dyson taking advantage of the government’s preferred route to transferring a family farm and handing it over to his kids.

Though it must suck to now have to rely on the vacuous earnings of a £ multi billion technology empire in his old age.

@MarinaPurkiss Well at least we’ve all forgotten about Mr Mandelson.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@LoftusSteve I also blame the consumers in the 1990s who wanted something for nothing instead of paying a proper rate.

So now they get less for more.

In the same way that switching is supposed to have made electricity cheaper, but it just handed out bargains whilst loyal customers paid.

@LoftusSteve @premnsikka How are those assets valued?

@peterrhague There’s nothing here which couldn’t be solved by making stabilisers compulsory for urban cyclists, so that they can always safely stop without falling over. 🙂
