@dank_ackroyd Where were these? They look rather fun.

@montie He’s much better (reasonable, patient etc) in interviews than he (or his assistant?) is on here…something that he needs to sort out.

@SimonFraser00 @dsmitheconomics He (and most of the British establishment) all had something to say about George Floyd…much of which probably sounded pretty “divisive” from a Republican perspective.

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@willsolfiac You are, of course, absolutely right. I am concerned though that the result of this policy (to the benefit of women and their children) will simply be further downward pressure on the birth rate (to the detriment of society as a whole) as the men become even more non-committal.

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@DaveKent101 How have you calculated that figure?

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@dcsandbrook Some great choices though

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@dcsandbrook Still no Brideshead (or any other Waugh)😥

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@Steven_Swinford What is “SV”?

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@oldspeak_books Emmerson’s 1913 is a top book

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@ScottGoetz_ Disagree…Reform don’t have the oldest generation of Tories nor younger affluent Tories in London/SE. The first especially is a big issue as older voters difficult to budge. However tweedy shire types elsewhere are very RW in their attitudes and (anecdotally) pro-Reform.

@stuey_beef Understand all of this except “hiking tax on interest from 2027” - have I missed something pre_announced?

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@fionasins_ What would it look like with perfect Cons-Ref tactical voting

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@DanNeidle 60% (personal allowance taper) and/or stamp duty for economic effect. Cut on license alcohol duty or petrol duty for political effect.

@otokyo Fire extinguisher?

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@OliverCooper Not sure 2 will work that well in the context of a high min wage- the first 40 hours will have to be paid that at least

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@Steven_Swinford Trouble is that an asset loses its value due to inflation and it is clearly unfair to tax a loss. Solution is to equalise with income tax but have an equalisation allowance- might result in actually less CGT being collected though.

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory Nothing on Gorlice Tarnow and the great Russian retreat on the Eastern Front (arguably the most consequential event in 1915)?

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@PJTheEconomist Bit of a local question (but possibly pertinent to the Makerfield by election)- why has there been a noticeable change in Wigan since this percentage peaked in circa 2020?

[Max Usher @max_usher368753]

@eugyppius1 Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by “preference cascade”?
