@swfc @SWFCTrust We're THE Wednesday. As we were until 1929. Let's get back to the Premier League by 2029!

Timely call from @gilliantett for stepping up efforts on climate adaptation. Added to the inevitability of more extreme weather, the rising risk of tipping points being crossed - such as the collapse of the AMOC - makes this even more compelling @GSI_Exeter #GlobalTippingPoints

Agreed! I proposed taxes based on car sizes in my FT article "Small is Cool" : https://t.co/jZrNWUuoA2

Fascinating data analysis from the Economist looking at 7.5m US car crashes

The chart below shows likelihood of you dying in a car crash by weight of your car (grey line) and weight of other car (red line)

So it’s in our own self interest to get a heavier car (slight reduction in chance of our own death) but definitely not in society’s (big increase in chance other driver dies if our car gets heavier)

Potential case for additional tax for cars over 4000lbs (from that point on there’s little extra safety for the driver but a lot of risk for others)

@BenM1867 Great thanks - could you DM details. I'm following you now

From ‘Big is Hot’ to ‘Small is Cool’ – we need to curb our culture of excess. From oversized SUVs to McMansions, it fuels environmental damage and inequality. Taxes could help us break the habit. @hausfath @ProfMarkMaslin @_HannahRitchie @ftopinion @bmay https://t.co/OAKhdzmeBp

@rorysutherland @MattMcGrathBBC @KateRaworth @jasonhickel Oh dear. Haven't you heard small is cool?

From ‘Big is Hot’ to ‘Small is Cool’ – we need to tackle the fashion for bigger cars and homes and disposal clothing. Taxes could help us break the habit, making growth more sustainable and equitable @bmay @zerowastehome @venetialamanna @ajabarber https://t.co/wp3raRJDX2

@Keir_Starmer says Labour's No. 1 priority is wealth. So why isn't its No. 1 fiscal rule? Grow assets, not debt...

Sticking by the @Conservatives’ debt rule is undermining @UKLabour’s aims to boost growth and investment. It should target national wealth instead. See my latest article for the Evening Standard https://t.co/VR67Gy5CT1 @joshsimonstweet @SThompson20 @RachelReevesMP #ukfiscal

[Mark Cliffe @markcliffe]

Targeting the growth in public sector net worth, rather than public debt, could transform the perception and performance of government in the UK. See my article for the Evening Standard https://t.co/GJWqtW9ivf @ChrisGiles_ @mehreenkhn @OBR_UK @_FinancialWorld #ukfiscal
