@RajaBanks A, if trading with volume. Clean range to the left hand side. Support at B not really relevant as breaking a new support formed at 4164.57 🤔 if no volume, full margin buys 🤣

@spb1514 Steady on mate you will be called into a meeting at this rate 🤣

Labour could deliver fixed-rate mortgages for the life of a loan https://t.co/46xfVscSye Labour could demand that every mortgage provider in the UK should have a fixed-rate mortgage for the rest of a loan’s life available to borrowers so that never again should people be caught out on the whim of the Bank of England. It would cost Labour nothing but it would give certainty to millions of people’s lives.

Is this parallel? Asking for a friend @_SaraGeary

[Squidge Rugby @SquidgeRugby]

Deep regrets.

[Sam Larner @SamLStandsUp]

I would encourage everyone to read this. I've been banging this drum for a while, but this is perfectly written and chocked full of easily understood data.

Rugby needs more of this and @Oval_Insights is the way we'll get it!

Please, might we have a politics of care, community, compassion, cooperation and co-creation and not of work, isolation, and money-grubbing? Wouldn't that be good? And wouldn't we all be better for it? I think so. Please share if you agree.

@davidmaris958 @GuruAnaerobic Had a similiar conversation with Dave just before the Christmas break, Which did lead us down many other talking points. Muscle contraction types being a key one and lower limb strength another.

He puts up with my ranting I have to give it to him 😂and my questions.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

This seems to be out on here again this afternoon - and rightly so as nothing has changed, so far. In fact, things may well be worse.

I was just asked to make a statement in advance of tomorrow's Bank of England interest rate decision. This is what I said:

"Discussion about the Bank of England's interest rate decision has focused on whether it will hold rates rather than increase them, but this entirely misses the point about what is needed now.

Almost certainly, the Bank of England has already wildly overreacted to the inflation that we have, meaning that interest rates are already much too high.

That fact, coupled with its current policy of quantitative tightening, which is deliberately inflating current financial market interest rates, means that the impact of high interest rates is now almost wholly destructive on the economy, businesses, households and individuals.

What we need now are urgent and significant interest rate cuts to reduce the harm already caused and to keep businesses, mortgaged households, renters, local authorities and others going when their financial viability is now under threat, but will the Bank of England do that? I very much doubt it. It's as if they don't care."

Just stupid stuff from Josh Adams. Wales need to go back into the locker room here and regather. They could/should have been almost home and dry by half time but they've just spent 15 minutes pumping the Argentinian tyres

Great 🧵here by @DaiGreene. Has been there and delivered in the sport talking absolute sense. Be very interested to know what data @BritAthletics are using to justify their policy. Other than their bank account. Also wonder if they even looked at Dai’s data or just dismissed it.

[Dai Greene @DaiGreene]

I presented to two previous performance lead teams on the issues with the @BritAthletics selection policy, with support from 30+ elite athletes. One of the staff even accused me of manipulating data to suit my agenda🙃 I showed them an abundance of data from previous finalists...

[Alan Murdoch @Elevate_Rehab_]

On the topic of ACL rehab strategies..

Here’s @anthonywatson_ rehab timeline during his ACL rehab with me.

Accelerated?
Nope. That’s how it can be done using a “speed based approach” so “accelerated” doesn’t exist.

@SportsmithHQ

[SpeedEndurance @speedendurance]

I'm sorry, but this was absolutely stupid to run under these conditions, when WC was on the line for top 2. They risked injuries, and even a FAT timing malfunction. Then the woman's race was delayed 30 min. The athletes & coaches should all have colluded not to run.

[Gareth Hopkins @GHop200]

@BritAthletics STOP HOLDING THE CHAMPS IN MANCHESTER 👍
