@Frances_Coppola I amalgamated the two words. Auto corrected.😖

@HeerJeet @adam_tooze And do these figures take account of holidays. Their lives are shorter with considerably fewer holidays. Great.

@SamLStandsUp He’s a hip swinger just like Barry John., who seemed to ghost past the best defenders of his time.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@afneil @NickCohen4 Or perhaps Israel should think about their actions.

@MarinaHyde @richardosman Can we have a written version? Easy enough these days I would have thought. Haven’t the time for podcast these days.

@itvpeston @Peston @nadhimzahawi "I think the most consequential Prime Minister of this country" Yeh - but not in a good way.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@jamesrbuk Nah

@SmartCircleComm @implausibleblog Hard cases make bad law. But boy, don’t the media make the most of that.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@CJFDillow Maybe - but the interview by Laura Kussenburgh was appalling. Half of it (18 mins) concerned the donations question. It was worth at most 5 mins. The rest should have been about policies that will seriously affect the viewers.

@georgemagnus1 There are actually a lot of books by economists on how the macro economy works ( more important than supply and demand ) that do indeed say that much of highly mathematical theories we have followed since the 1979’s are a
busted flush.

@SamLStandsUp I played for a newly formed village cricket team. I was wicket keeper. After a few overs of our second match their irritated opening bat asked me to tell our captain to ask the fielder at midwicket to stop smoking. The fielder was, of course, the captain. He did stop, but we won.

@DAaronovitch Should we not call the period between a terrible incident like the Southport Murders and the release of official information about what happened‘the Farage gap’. The quicker the gap can be closed the better it is for everyone, except, of course, Farage.

@Frances_Coppola Tuning in to Radio Luxemburg on a crystal wireless set.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@DAaronovitch I am glad you have done this. I have changed my mind about your participation in the debate after reading your article.. I now think you are right to take part.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@haveigotnews Who writes this stuff. It is seriously unfunny.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@Frances_Coppola Certainly. I know of one that rounded up goldfish.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@DAaronovitch I think it is a shame you have decided to take part, as well as a mistake.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@Frances_Coppola @georgeeaton I agree with that. But I suspect that my observation still mitigates the effects of the means testing. I think, though, that it would have been better to tax winter fuel payments.

[Rhyddian Jones @RhyddIfor]

@OldCodgerLeague @georgeeaton @Frances_Coppola It is not a justification, it is an observation. I think it is scandalous there is such inequality of health outcomes in the UK.
