lol, the globally significant one I worked for hadn’t the first clue about this stuff 👍

@g__j Something i don't get about the IOG changes.. I thought Octopus was making awesome systems which used our cars as networked batteries, taking advantage of lower demand/wholesale, and give you and us more £, and less CO2. Did the models just not work?

[Helen Miller @HelenMiller_IFS]

I sound like a broken record, but it’s still true that..

The more the Chancellor wants to rely on lots of little taxes, the more important it is that she also reforms those taxes so that they are fairer and less damaging to growth.

@pumplekin @DPAutomation @baronlordvader @mikeysmith But imagine fixing it (and benefiting people who earn over 100k)

or modifying tax in any way which disbenefits basically anyone.

V unsatisfying time to exist. But. At least we're not in scotland, paying more tax for shitter everything else.

@pumplekin @DPAutomation @baronlordvader @mikeysmith Try having kids in nursery ☠️☠️

@Dannythefink @celery_brigade The problem is scarcity of goods. The solution is the market. If we don't make people pay the market price, don't be shocked by arbitrage.

@Ghostcrawler Thin hens seem to lay prettier eggs, but are more likely to be deranged and upset the flock - go for some chunky robust ones to keep them in line

@Tesco why is it cheaper to buy 2x6 than 10?

[Alex Chatwin @AChatwin]

I wonder how things would be if Banks had a cap with a similar construction

[Greg Jackson @g__j]

Martin's right about the wholesale energy market

Suppliers' profits are capped at c.2% by the price cap, but wholesale costs are too high as the price is set by the most expensive generation in the country

We propose a fix- locational pricing- to lower bills for everyone

@CobblerCare future customer here, thanks to the kind chap in the Aylesbury Tesco kiosk!

@RPMarks I went via:

Farming is important,
Farming isn’t very profitable
Wealth taxation is important
Simplification and fairness of taxation is important

To:

We should be doing more as a county to support farms
We shouldn’t be using the inheritance tax system to subsidise farming

@JSalisburyJones You’ve probably figured this out, but try to keep the contaminated stuff separate.. and NEVER touch your face.. hard to keep track at 2am. i hope they’re over it soon!

@JamesLDouglass @RMCunliffe I have this thing where I get shorter
But just never cheaper

[Rachel Cunliffe @RMCunliffe]

I would totally give Taylor Swift part of HS2 to run if it meant we actually built it

[Brendan May @bmay]

Listen, if Taylor Swift suddenly gets awarded a contract to provide healthcare services to the NHS, is given part of the HS2 line to run or gets given a life peerage like Lord Siberia or whatever he’s called, then let’s chat about Starmer taking his kids to her concert shall we.

[David Groves @pumplekin]

@CentristQC 4/10.

They haven't capitalised on the opportunities and have scored several own goals.

I expected a 7/10 and they have considerably underperformed.

Given I had the Tories at 2/10, this is still an upgrade, but not an inspiring one.

Have you got a Podcast @MattChorley ?

@MartinSLewis The problem here is I don't think either side disliked freedom of *their own* movement.. it was other people's which caused disagreement

[James O'Malley @Psythor]

She'll come back at a critical moment as Sue White.
