@simongerman600 Looks like a graph crime to me, where's the causation?

[Mike Smith @MikeinKettering]

@tomhfh How? If stamp duty is abolished the house price simply increases by the same amount doesn't it? The seller knows that the buyer is willing to pay sale price plus stamp duty, so adjusts price accordingly.

@hewantswealth Without the 50k stamp duty the house price would increase by 50k, as a buyer it doesn't affect you (approximately).

@SullyTalkz All being well, should be able to clinch the title at City, game 30.

@hightomldn @scottygb A well made video will always be more interesting, stimulating than a well written book (BTW, I collect books). It's a generational thing, creative, intelligent people are now making videos.

@hightomldn @scottygb This isn't 1980 anymore.

@MooAndDrew @AaronBastani @YouTube @UKLabour The Americans are going to be confused "What, the Brits are banning Ms Rachel?"

[Mike Smith @MikeinKettering]

@florianederer @oefb1904 Yes that Maradona warming up video is amazing!

[Mike Smith @MikeinKettering]

@CeeElexF @Steven_Swinford Absolutely, just nonsense from the Treasury official.

@HannoLustig To sum up: rich people telling poor people to stay poor.

@post_liberal I think his international record will look increasingly better as the years pass, but his club record is mediocre.

@Reesewith3 @JeremyTate41 Haven't read it but was 16 and saw the TV adaptation with Ben Kingsley and Patsy Kensit and loved it.

@Giarc1982_2 @BenRamanauskas Yes you're right, let them stay at home without a job. So what if they're skint and without hope, at least we'll feel morally superior.

[Mike Smith @MikeinKettering]

@JohnRentoul Also we talk about inequality but it is always in a national setting. What about international inequality i.e. we are stagnating as a country, and have been for 20 years but other countries like the US are growing. We are getting poorer internationally.

@ShippersUnbound Brilliant essay, breath of fresh air.

[Mike Smith @MikeinKettering]

@LeoKearse Not only that, but we have British people queuing up for these jobs, but they're too expensive apparently.

[Mike Smith @MikeinKettering]

@LindaHurrell @meadwaj Of course it's their money. But if you and James and your fellow travellers on the left don't like it start up your own shop using your money not ours.
