@faisalislam On a comparison site, it's possible to get a 75% mortgage for 4.2% for the first 5 years, which suggests that UK gilts have a worse credit rating with a yield of 4.49%.
Might be worth putting that to the self confessed economist we have as chancellor.
🚨ANNOUNCEMENT: we’re rolling out Winter Fuel Payments to pensioners in Tower Hamlets after we became the first council in the country to approve restoring this vital lifeline when it was cut.
I urge other councils to follow and call on the Government to reverse these cuts.
@ivan_8848 The German economy is founded (largely) on the automotive industry, and sooner than later, the Chinese will match them in quality, design and aspiration. The arrogance of Western nations believing themselves to be technologically and morally superior will bite them in the butt.

"... it wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment"
@HamzaMSyed@10DowningStreet The main reason Starmer and his cabinet haven't put their names to the ICC arrest warrant and nor will they comment on it, is because they've accepted the supremacy narrative by the perpetrators.
Finally a step towards #accountability and #justice in #Palestine. Let the full force of law be equally applied to Israeli war criminals, and not only for the last 412 days but for the last 28,000 days. @IntlCrimCourt
The ICC has finally issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Mohammed Deif.
I wonder if @Keir_Starmer still knows the definition of a genocide?
