@pedal_exchange @AaronBastani Absolutely. It is a misleading and potentially dangerous oversight.

[Rich Box @gyromancered]

anyone who believes in liberal democracy..Historic increases to minimum wage and a more enlightened foreign policy might appeal to the cursory observer but they mask a darker element to the Morena administration. This supermajority is not as positive as it might seem.

@AaronBastani To elaborate a little further re Mexico: The state has been retreating from public goods such as health and education, allowing markets to take over infrastructure investment remains low in many areas and proposed constructional changes would be a concern for

@AaronBastani Tufton Street funders shorting Sterling?

[Rich Box @gyromancered]

@markmcan @trussliz @KwasiKwarteng Come on! We all know markets are extremely woke 😉. Also, details of any short Sterling positions associates of the Cabinet took in recent times should be realm. This looks pretty scandalous on various levels.

@CERafael_ @MiguelP36190719 @GobiernoMX Por supuesto, un gobierno en sí mismo no es una nación, pero mi comentario fue explícito sobre la política del gobierno y fue en respuesta a un tuit sobre el gobierno. Pero sospecho que lo sabes. Menos 'calor' y más 'luz' por favor.

@RoryStewartUK Present Conservative party is not worthy of the name, and far less still worthy the title of 'Conservative and Unionist Party.' It is an ultra economic liberal party, propped up by false branding, FPTP, and dubious funding.

@AaronBastani 2).. political and economic challenges. Necessary reforms must be achieved in spite of him, not because of him.

[Rich Box @gyromancered]

@AaronBastani 1) Agreed. And electoral reform transcends party politics anyway. It's a fundamental issue about relationship between citizen and state. Grass route civil society is best vehicle for this. Starmer is not only timid, he is insufficiently educated to address contemporary...

[Rich Box @gyromancered]

@RoryStewartUK 3) ..policy as being coherent policy. It's just a transfer to the darker aspects of international capital. Sorry for my cynicism but when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

[Rich Box @gyromancered]

@RoryStewartUK 2) ..Tufton street et al after being voted out. Unlikely Keir Starmer would reverse all these, given his own lack of vision and likely small majority, so gains for 'crony capitalists will be baked in. For this reason there is no need to view environmental, economic, or energy...

[Rich Box @gyromancered]

@campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics In political discourse it's normally good to assume goodwill in one's opponents, but one really has to start wondering what their motives are. An outside agency, briefed with destroying UK economy and society would struggle to do more damage.

Marc Bloch on the "craft" of history: "a science in its infancy", but one that had "grown old in embryo as mere narrative".

"I should like professional historians and, above all, the younger ones to reflect upon these hesitancies, these incessant soul-searchings, of our craft".

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

That service was a shining example of why we should treasure music in schools - and why we cannot measure the worth of an education against "future earnings".

Everything that humans value can be expressed in music. It's a source of riches beyond anything captured in GDP.

@stephenfry Same. Watching from Mexico

[Rich Box @gyromancered]

Quick question @carlosslim. Why does @telmex quote 2 to 4 days to switch internet to a new address but cannot deliver in 8 days? Such incompetence deters foreign investors hoping to make a business here. Are you serious about improving infrastructure in Mexico?
