@awearing85 @DanielPriestley @TheAlanColeShow He’s back. His argument is weak and incoherent.

@British_Airways @Orchenfold BA clearly hiring from Ryanair customer relations

@ArchRose90 @Nigel_Farage Ironically, he’s built a very successful business in the UK since then @MattP1Tommy

@British_Airways @DocEmUK Absolute bullshit answer. Somebody at BA please switch on their brain.

@SteveBakerFRSA @timfarron @Glintpay I didn’t know you had a podcast until now. Will give it a go. Thanks

It serves everyone more than you imagine.

Socialism has only ever survived at scale when it was attached to a capitalist host. To the degree that China is working, it is because of its own free market system and its connection to the capitalist west.

To the degree that the UK has a welfare state, it’s reliant on a capitalist engine. The City of London was paying for the country’s bills before we pulled the fangs out of it.

Norway is underpinned by its sovereign wealth fund which is dependent on capitalist markets.

Take away the capitalism and the whole shooting match collapses. Poverty is the default for civilisations. We are woefully bad at creating basic prosperity. Only after we discovered capitalism were we able to do away with our more evil approaches.

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @campbellclaret There are several better politics podcasts

@UKDecline @TrisOsborneMP @Conservatives Unemployment is such a terrible measure. Clearly long-term sickness-driven inactivity remains a persistent drag.

@richenergyceo What did Terra Firma value Rich Energy as?

@DanielPriestley You manage to post about things I think about all the time, and your takes are so well articulated. Power-law curves one day, broken tax system the next, the odd bit of Gary Stevenson sceptisn thrown in for good measure. Brilliant.

@afneil Inflated asset prices

@TradeFloorAudio @toadmeister @TIMGOLDFINCH His book sold in the millions. No one read it, but they liked the vibe and it made them look clever.

[Richard James @JL03MOO]

@DanielJHannan No

@TheRealJamieKay Here in the UK, beheading attempts

@owenjonesjourno @PatrickChristys Bad ratio says it all

[Richard James @JL03MOO]

@JHWealthSystems Some moderately ok deals to be had at Zenith’s company portal. This is an entry level Model 3, 10k miles per year, 3 years. I’d probably just buy a 3 year old one for c.20k instead.

@jan_murray He’s embarrassed himself

[Richard James @JL03MOO]

@hughlaurie @AllisonPearson @jan_murray Funny thin-skinned man

[Richard James @JL03MOO]

@CharlotteCGill @roseveniceallan Very good of you to approach it this way.
