@steverichards14 I think they were ever so slightly pulling your leg

@GeoffNorcott @BarristersHorse Very much doubt if Ailbhe was fazed by it. Rory’s ‘active listening’ was no different when looking at Neil Kinnock

@ArgyleBecky @afneil Give Andrew a regular spot to bring facts and structure to the debate. Other panelists would soon come better prepared and not spout such drivel. A permanent panelist works well enough on QI

@sharrond62 @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives I think you are right about Kemi. Always good to see a voice of common sense in the Lords

@DanielJHannan Paywall is not down?

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@afneil Increase the efficiency of petrol and diesel cars, out back the ban to 2040. Stand back and watch the collapse of Chinese ev cars and the survival of European manufacturing

@JuliaHB1 Tax payers money, absolutely no incentive to do it economically

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@sharrond62 Think the number is way bigger than 38k. We have to make up the £300m from those making a Net contribution, will have to seek hard to find enough tax payers putting more in than they take out

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@AllisonPearson It easier to level down…watch out

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@c23820972 @griffitha That’s the point. Unless you’re looking at net contributions, you are way underestimating the impact

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@GDrayton99654 @griffitha We all consume government services which is something like £5-7k so we need to match the £300m with the net contributions (ie the amount above £5-k). Going to be rather more than 50,000 average workers

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@griffitha @Jacob_Rees_Mogg The number needs to reflect the number of tax payers whose NET contributions match £300m. That’s going to be a very big number

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@JuliaHB1 @BBCNews How skilfully the BBC avoided reference to Scotland and Wales in the rankings.
Maybe the Michael Gove/Nick Gibb agenda for education was pretty good after all

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@RobertJenrick Yes, but how many tax payers to match a NET contribution of £330m

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@Alexarmstrong To match a NET contribution of £330m you need considerably more than 39,000 people

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@tomhfh People consume government services. Just think how many tax payers you’d need to match the net contribution of a guy paying £330m

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@nishantkumar07 It’s rather worse than the example would suggest. Most tax payers are not net contributors. The music stops pretty quickly if we lose too many of those making significant net contributions

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@afneil Jon Sopel, a poor substitute for Trevor Phillips

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@IainDale Somewhat alarming that he considers setting himself up as a business for consultancy purposes equates to business experience

[Julian Bishop @JulianBishop2]

@Iromg your regular slot with John Rentoul used to be one of the best, any thoughts on reviving this?
