@Fit_For_Golf Mike I am sure I saw you post a link a while ago to the bands you use in the videos, but I can’t find it anywhere on twitter blog or app! Can you reshare please? Thanks!

[Stuart Millson @Stuart_Millson]

Good process lads

[Stuart Millson @Stuart_Millson]

Great thread here - brilliant use of an MPs platform, and Twitter

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

Almost every business and public service I meet in my constituency faces serious problems with regulation and regulators.

Wonks often very smugly say nobody can point to regulations that should go, so this is a rolling thread listing the examples I find every week (1/n).

@thomasforth Though would love to see what a conversation between you and @t_blom on this would agree on and maybe even lead to…

@GarethBStreeter @montie Oh @GarethBStreeter , you never go out of style

@thomasforth I have a friend who got hired on a temp contract (can’t remember if it was a few weeks or few months, but definitely several days) to ‘copy and paste the value for this ID in the table in this excel tab into the value for that ID in this tab’. She said ‘so you mean a Vlookup?’

I’m not 100% sure I could crawl along a flat surface that quickly, let alone go up a vertical wall….Astonishing

@LukeTryl Luke, long time! How are you?

Fascinated whether any Tory MPs (who collectively definitely don’t get it) ever sit you down and ask about your focus groups? Everything you say chimes with day to day conversations, but MP solutions always seem to be tax cuts, Rwanda, new leader

[Stuart Millson @Stuart_Millson]

Don’t think household income is the right comparison with private rented sector. As single people end up renting in bigger groups than they would prefer to, artificially inflating household incomes? @rcolvile ?

[Ian Mulheirn @ianmulheirn]

Crudely applying the average +0.7ppt increase in rent growth between the new and old series to data from 1996, the rent line ends up ~200 in this chart. Still lagging median incomes (at 210) albeit by a lot less

(The grey line is FRS data and then the old rent index from 2005)

@Beyond_Topline @AtakinMarcus @Samfr Croydon Labour’s failings were definitely less salient in 2021 than in the borough elections the following year. (Look at New Addington North in 2022 vs 2021 by-election). But possible that the salience has slipped back to 2021 levels by now.

@GavinBarwell In fairness Starmer took a similar approach with Labour members and then moved toward voters as he strengthened his leadership.

Question is whether next Conservative leader will be given as many opportunities to strengthen their leadership as Conservatives have given Starmer

[Stuart Millson @Stuart_Millson]

@Samfr @thomasforth But as a basic recipe for running an economy it seems a decent starting point…

[Stuart Millson @Stuart_Millson]

This could be Tom’s most profound epiphany (from a list of many…)

[Tom Forth @thomasforth]

Perhaps the sweet spot is Democratic Mayors (I'm gonna raise taxes and make investments and give planning permissions) in Republican States (raise your taxes locally, let me keep mine low, and let me keep my guns and my truck, and let me run my schools and we'll be buddies).

[Stuart Millson @Stuart_Millson]

@Samfr Yes it’s more complex and nuanced than that.

And yes not many buses will run in rural areas (but another of @thomasforth’s profound points is we run far too many buses…)
