#AVFC Fan - If It's something you want, then it is for you, if it's something you need, then it's on the basis of pleasing something else.

I think we know where the Endryk rumour came from and why it was pushed the way it was…. #avfc @DV1874 😜

[Emma @WhatTheForkAVFC]

So the club saw what we were saying when the Ruggeri whispers started and did their due diligence (as expected).

Fair enough.

Is this guy a private equity sleeper agent?

EXCLUSIVE: Fifa's president Gianni Infantino is planning to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors under a scheme that could potentially earn him tens of millions of pounds.
Investor discussions held with figures close to the Trump administration, say sources.

Really dangerous reporting. This is the kind of poor journalism that keeps us uncompetitive.

[Pippa Neill @neill_pippa]

Datacentres in England use an estimated 6.6 million litres of drinking water every day.

Jon Chappel, Water UK’s deputy director, said this was “unforgivable” and a “genuine failing of government”.

@AlyssonSZN I think you’re absolutely insane to think this isn’t a good deal.

Probably the most competitive market for sponsorship in over a decade thanks to limited supply due to betting ban.

Newcastle will always get an above market rate fee due to Saudi-links.

@MarkovitzHarry @DanNeidle With income as low as it is per person, the birth rate shrinking, interest payments on debt rising & promised entitlement costs rising too, are there any better ideas?

IMO Tax consumption + repurpose council tax to a land value tax.

[James Clark @JamesMRClark]

@DanNeidle Presumably the different effect is deferral?

A wealth tax would hypothetically charge annually, CGT only at realisation currently. Scrap the death uplift and add the exit charge and there's nowhere left to defer to if you include UK trusts? (inc. IoM & Jersey)

[James Clark @JamesMRClark]

@DanNeidle Dan, would aligning CGT with Income Tax brackets, introducing a tax levi on borrowing against assets and introducing an exit tax have a very similar effect as a wealth tax and be easier to implement?

[James Clark @JamesMRClark]

Saying that about @DanNeidle, this is actually probably a fair assessment in the round and something I think @garyseconomics & @DanNeidle have an opportunity to flesh out in long form in the future.

Gary Stevenson clearly cares deeply about inequality, and passionately wants a wealth tax. But he is uninterested in the detail of either the problem or his solution.

He exaggerates his expertise, and his research is sloppy.

Given the size of his audience, that's a shame.

[James Clark @JamesMRClark]

Actually feel a bit sorry for @garyseconomics.

Brave documentary basically staring down those who disagree with him, mainly because they've got something to lose.

[James Clark @JamesMRClark]

But the biggest telltails sign was the Reform donor, Bassim Haidar, basically saying he doesn't get out of bed for anything less than 12%-13% returns. PER YEAR.

UK population hasn't had a real terms payrise in a year anywhere near to that since before 2008.

Money makes money

@LoveMcGrathpod I know it’s been a slow few weeks for news…. 😂

[James Clark @JamesMRClark]

Smart political operator would assign £5m of security spend (peanuts in the grand scheme of things) to Farage and push for him to give back remaining ££

And if the major parties had a brain, they shouldn't contest the election.

Let Restore & Reform knock lumps out of each other

[BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking]

Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton after finance row, triggering by-election he says he will stand in https://t.co/VFjqMKGCOL

@themagic_tophat Assume this means in accounting rules, the fines go against the SCR balance of the club entity? Can the clubs fines be paid by the holding company/owner finance and not hit SCR ratios?

@ManpreetPTFC_V5 Good luck lads! Love from the lads from Boston Fan Park x

Below mortgage rate debt, for an asset that generates an extremely nascent level of revenue with somewhat unclear depreciation timeframes...

Where have we seen this before?

[James Clark @JamesMRClark]

$36b of private debt raised, financed at below the average mortgage rate for Anthropic to purchase $36b of Google Chips, who also own 16% of Anthropic. The chips are to be built by Broadcom, which is also guaranteeing $30b of the $36b of debt...
