@CptHastings1916 It’s nonsense, I really think there is zero editorial control at the BBC website beyond vibes

Visit Bristol today and any major park is surrounded by mobile homes- these simply weren’t there 20 years ago. A shocking indictment of our failure to build enough homes for people. https://t.co/BW0t2slulk

@td_econ @RevEconStudies Congratulations man!

@isnit0 Wait, they’re rebooting DS9?

@edwest Can’t you leave it at a police station? If the owner has it on “find my” and they are charged they can go to it

Interesting app for effective learning+ another example of the powerful compound effects of small amounts of effort over time

[Blog post] A year ago I picked up Kafka's Metamorphosis, and could barely understand a word. A year later, I'm happily reading German literature for fun.

What happened? I bit the bullet and finally started using Anki... (1/2)

@JonSteinsson Iceland had more leverage (v the UK during the Cold War when Iceland was strategically critical to control of the N Atlantic) than Peru does v China today

@BDSixsmith Congratulations!

Sisyphus more of a Chumbawamba fan

RIP Sisyphus you would’ve hated the Rolling Stones

@CptHastings1916 Some high streets are doing fine! Specifically those which have shifted towards food and drink (more resistant to online competition)

@DunnsDee What whole thing?

@s8mb Congratulations Sam!

@billwells_1 @ONS @EconSteveM @stephenkb @rcolvile Are these raw or cohort and age adjusted? Self reported happiness is predictable over the life cycle and over this period the boomers started to retire. If unadjusted then this trend could be largely explained by this

@rcolvile @RossLydall @SadiqKhan Ok! The luftwaffe were *good* for London’s urban density (in the long term)

@davidshor @jeuasommenulle I’ve seen Roger present some of the underlying work - but he didn’t address the problematic political economy incentives that his proposal would create

@timleunig Services targeted at those same families! (Clear re: rich pensioners)

[Jonathan Pinder @jmpinder1]

@timleunig How do you think about the relative efficacy of direct benefit payments to families with low incomes vs government provision of services (childcare, surestart) or goods (free school meals, uniforms etc)

[Jonathan Pinder @jmpinder1]

@IonaItalia Gah sorry to hear. That sucks

[Jonathan Pinder @jmpinder1]

@RobertBoswall @LoftusSteve Yes exactly- but the government needs to be thinking about this risk (regulatory disadvantage for home companies) and proactively simplifying domestic regulation to get domestic costs down
