@_MissBrennan_ @AlloaBusiness@AlloaAcademy I love this lesson so much. I always use McVities Jaffa cakes and Coop Jaffa cakes. Organic and standard cheese? Some chocolate works quite well too
5 minute extension from 2 hours 35 minutes for an excellent discussion on business rates and the potential for further government intervention - sales tax, revenue, tax etc - to support struggling retailers in the wake of the Coronavirus. https://t.co/W5VzWSZLpu

This is extremely interesting. Is the premier league an example of a market that is exhibiting market failure? Has it failed? How would you use theory to describe it? Should there be government intervention and in what form? @chrishutchinson
Gary Neville @GNev tells @bbcnickrobinson that govt needs to step in and form an independent regulator for football because the Premier League wealth ‘has not been distributed in a fair manner’ and he worries about the survival of the game #R4Today
Does anyone know what happened to rules on state aid in the Brexit agreement? I am doing competition policy and I always used to teach the outline EU laws. Thanks
Instead of queues of trucks outside Dover or empty British supermarket shelves, Brexit has brought the stench of rotten ham in Rotterdam and shellfish going off in its pallets https://t.co/EgoVS56axW
@gcupdates Luckily it was a theoretical “hurt”. No actual external cost but it was close. Last time I take my dogs in the garden during fireworks then! We don’t actually know those neighbours (back fence) so they probably don’t know!
Not a recession as defined yet but obviously not a good stat. We could focus on the summer improvement, as a long term economic health indicator but can’t ignore potential long term impacts of unemployment.
UK economy shrank by 2.6% in November https://t.co/1cJIJF0vsR
@gcupdates No but I was free riding my neighbours fireworks on 31st Dec. We suffered from asymmetric info though because we didn’t know about the external cost of debris from a rocket falling into our garden and hurting one of our dogs 😲
