@iAmJoshHunt Everything is fine 👀. Gov only borrowing around £650 million a day at present 👀. What could go wrong.

@CWalker215576 @Joanna__Hardy I don’t think we know how legal aid fees would work for the new middle court yet or indeed the expanded Mags work.

@Mercianwarrior1 @cynicalkind @afneil Simple - the moon! I am sure that’ll work.

@thorpesi @matthewclifford Necessity may well be the main driver of change. When will that be though? It looks like we can all keep pretending things are fine for a fair few years yet - and then a cliff edge event. - ie slowly slowly the suddenly.

@totalrl Very sad.

@JosephAWard_ @afneil @BBCNews The Government is borrowing £500 million a day.

@FraserNelson I doubt Labour MPs will move after the byelection. If there’s a move on Starmer, at present, the most likely is after the May elections and even then far from certain. There’s not a determined, organised block yet and doesn’t currently look likely even if don’t they like Kier.

@garyobrien1610 @CourtsIdle I fear you have no idea just how bad things now are. It’s horrendous.

[Alastair Douglas @a_douglas]

@unherd @EuroBriefing Yep. Massively behind. Western Europe and UK are the past and currently in serious decline.

[Alastair Douglas @a_douglas]

@SkySportsRL Probably the right decisions for once. But still really need a London side. Huge potential all round if one eventually makes it in the right way. Think the Aussies will help make it so.

@nascompares They’ve certainly messed up haven’t they.

@spectatorindex @Grok what Hong Kong

@leagueexpress Yep

@afneil I suspect those figures aren’t that different from much of Western Europe. It’s notable that US GDP per capita has zoomed ahead between 2009 ($47,000) to 2024 ($85/86,000). In that time UK went from $37,000- $52,000).

@SkySportsRL Rugby League is a great game run by not so great people who continue to damage it. It’s slowly disappearing from public consciousness as a result. The future of the sport does not currently look good and it’s a great shame.

@leagueexpress It’s terrible sad for Salford and embarrassing for Rugby League.
