@bbcnickrobinson@paullewismoney I'm no economist but as I understand it Osborne cut Friedman style, expecting markets to respond with growth, when economy was so weak the cost of borrowing was at record lows. But Keynes would say Gov borrows to invest especially when economy is weak. So which is Reeves doing?
Miss one Council Tax monthly payment and within 3wks they can make you pay for the whole year! My response after listening to a case study who’s finances were wrecked by this.

Keir Starmer to Nigel Farage during UK Prime ministers question time:
"I'm glad to see the hon member back here in Britain. He has spent so much time in America I was half expecting him to appear in the immigration statistics"
Farage has face like thunder and has stormed out
Given that we know that coercive control is something insidious and manipulative and that people often don’t realise they have been victims until years later, the Assisted Dying Bill is an enormous threat to vulnerable people. There are no adequate safeguards here.
"Does the technology mudslide hypothesis now make sense? Of how a small innovation can eventually disrupt a legacy brand? That brand is truth. It’s evidence. It’s journalism. It’s science. It’s the Enlightenment" https://t.co/wflWg4mA2s
The contradictory thinking now mainstream in "the west's" economics. The old plans aren't working, new powers are rising, so globalisation is dead?
No, that's 20th century protectionism not meeting 21st century trade.

She knew it earlier than most of us and paid a high price for pointing it out. She’s back now and not for a cheap ‚told you so‘.
But to warn us again. That it’s late. But not too late. Rarely say sthg is a must read, but this is.👇 @carolecadwalla https://t.co/91WD0TTyp0
Did you think you would live to see a man incite an armed rebellion against the U.S. that killed and injured many and caused the seat of our government to be occupied by insurrectionists, only to get away with it scot-free, with no consequences except for being elected president?
Someone…
Please
Explain to me & the rest of us who are losing our last shreds of faith in humanity
How TF can it be…
That a massacre of 70% women and children
With those children mostly between 5 & 9
…can still be labelled as self-defence.
This world disgusts me.
Farage bangs on and on about the two world wars and sovereignty... yet here he is ... suggesting that a nation fighting for its very life should give in to a dictator who has invaded and murdered its people

Keir, can we rejoin ASAP?
I think he'll say no
I think the question to ask is
𝙀𝙓𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙇𝙔 what impact has leaving the EU had on the United Kingdom?
Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union https://t.co/2l7cq2iBuV
The Economist is right: many Ukrainian officials privately favored a Trump win, seeing him as preferable to Biden’s "self-deterrence." Whether they’re right I don't know, but one thing’s clear—Trump will push a solution on Kyiv, like it or not 1/
12) If like me you wish that more help was getting to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and are tired of waiting for our political leaders to do the right things, perhaps you could consider supporting them directly. The Wild Hornets proved drones to the tropes at the front line, probably the most cost-effective way of helping at the moment. https://t.co/zh8kfKCSy5
