@thebigcomment @wesstreeting @thetimes Comparing 10-15 degrees C vs -25 🤪

@GuidoFawkes lol of course he did

@ABridgen Actually think this is challengeable in court. Does that mean the BBC is essentially charging everyone a lease on a TV, iPad or mobile phone. I can’t see this winning in court.

@EdwardJDavey 90+% of wildfires are caused by humans, case in point, 182 so far arrested in France for arson in the last few weeks

Are we back to Covid style fudging of data? As I said 1600 on average die everyday. Again this is most likely elderly or comorbidity in heat. It’s the same at winter. Next winter is Owen gonna put up deaths from cold and scream climate climate and why isn’t any politician controlling the weather?

@BisphamGreen And it never happens, they never get serious about anything but spending. Will be interesting to see if the backbenchers rebel against the messiah.

Council tax is payment for services no? Rubbish collection is pretty much the same everywhere in the uk. Argument could be made a HMO is more burden on the council than a multimillion house.
Lastly once a new tax comes in it never goes away and it only goes one way, bands get lower and the tax goes up. Be careful what you wish for.
Sure getting rid of stamp duty is good and the housing market needs jolting but part of me thinks this is to force boomers to sell up and move and release boomer house equity as consumer spending.
Lastly today’s comments acknowledge it’s a tax on the south. So you move to where jobs are then get taxed even more? You need to incentive businesses to move, that’s a lot harder and let’s be honest this government is as anti small business as it gets

@RachelReevesMP Stronger 😂😂😂. Fairer only for those on benefit street.

@BisphamGreen Growth is negative and has been for a decade when compared to inflation.

[Richard Mond @dickiemond]

@BisphamGreen More like there is a floor. Clz6 at 70 was already at the lowest end it should be at considering supply will remain tight for a while and SPR reserves will be slowly filled

@lancelachlan Funny how last Thursday we had to pay a record amount per kilowatt hr from the continent to stop blackouts.

@BisphamGreen Will most likely see saw back to previous sentiment when the messiah fails to change anything.

@compliantvc EU deserves nothing from Musk. They have done zero, absolutely zero to expedite anything he has achieved. If anything EU is anti growth, anti innovation and if it carries on in itscurrent vain will be owned by the two gorillas in the room, tbf we are practically there.

That’s some BS print in erm6 expiry. 64/64.5 and setts 59.3. I thought we had left the pre 2008 libor fixing scandal era behind us.

@HansMaulwurf51 @ukhpinfo Russian money left the chat a decade ago. It’s all ME money for a long time

@ZackPolanski Because you are economically illiterate. Borrow ever increasing sums with no plan to pay it back. But as the court jester you will find out the power of the bond markets when they revolt.

@unusual_whales The same ones who expected to be open 3 weeks ago.
