Likely to be tweeting about music, finance & economics, following Jesus, books, maybe the odd tweet about WAFC (up the Lactics) and other stuff ...

My latest Wisdom on Wealth reflection explores what the Bible says about how our perception of wealth affects how we view people and how our judgement gets skewed.

@Heccles94 End fiscal drag and the triple lock and have benefits, tax thresholds, and the living wage all rising by realistic amounts based on the average of: growth per capita, inflation, regular wages and 2%

[Rob Powell @Rob_Powell15]

@SandieBlickem @Jaxopinion @GMB I'm not sure that's structly true. For people with median earnings once nil rate bands are taken into account they will pay circa 19%

[Rob Powell @Rob_Powell15]

@CaptKennie @JWilliamsKunt @GMB That indicates that 11m pensioners aren't in poverty ... the triple lock is a poor (and expensive) way to solve the problems of the 2m who need extra help

[Rob Powell @Rob_Powell15]

@CaptKennie @JWilliamsKunt @GMB That's £800 in real terms after allowing for the impact of inflation.

[Rob Powell @Rob_Powell15]

@JWilliamsKunt @GMB I am thanks ... but I accept that the state pension is unaffordable in the current environment. Its gone up £800 in real terms in the last 10 years

[Rob Powell @Rob_Powell15]

@RachelReevesMP We need to end fiscal drag, abolish the triple lock and get this economy going again

@Jaxopinion @GMB To fund a pension payment of £241.30 per week with triple lock guarantees privately you would need a fund of over £400k ... the reality is that those with pensions are taking out way more they they contributed.

On MaundyThursday, let’s pause to consider how our financial choices impact others. As we move toward #Easter and reflect on Jesus’s sacrificial death, may we also remember the priceless gift of #salvation

ICMYI, here's Cornwall Insight's latest forecast for the Ofgem cap in July - a rise of £288 (or 18%) on the April level of £1,641.

This is actually slightly less than their previous forecast - and usage is lower in the summer - but still a large shock.

@Heccles94 A great idea if you're hoping to finally kill off innovation & enterprise in the UK and reduce total tax receipts

Did this weeks’ #Employment data contain a rare glimmer of hope? Is there optimism in the types of full-time roles being created and opportunity to make part-time work more attractive for employers? #UKEconomy #Jobs

@RachelReevesMP @CMAgovUK Will tackling incidents of exploitative practices extend to the students loans and the usurous interest rates graduates are being charged?
