This seems a good time to leave this site, after 14 years! Will pop up on the other place. Over and out.

This guy is popular among people I repsect. And yet he post things like this .

[Rob Moore @robprogressive]

A £1k pay rise can cost you £20k in the UK.

If you earn £148k, you take home LESS than someone on £99.9k.

Go above £100k & you lose childcare & your personal allowance.

Parents need £149k just to match a £99k take-home.

UK tax policy actively punishes success

@Perb378093Sue @OliverNeilson @TheFreds Ulez is different from the congestion charge (it’s complex but the names are the clue) and BEVs are exempt (as indeed are nearly all petrol cars).

[MJT @mjturner1975]

What a bizarre thing to comment on.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

The FTSE 100 breaking through 10,000 points for the first time is a vote of confidence in Britain’s economy and a strong start to 2026.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@ejhchess That’s brilliant. Though not a great disguise this time of year.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@David748292 @rhysrmann @Seoirse_ Thursday timing of Christmas Day. Last week (in London at least) busy, week before madly busy.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

Discussion about quarterly GDP growth numbers aside from revisions and volatility don’t seem to have caught up with population growth collapse.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@SCThorley @robprogressive Yes bizarre misunderstanding

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@TACJ Do they really know the economies wouldn’t have expanded faster with more carbon emissions?

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@BladeoftheS On other hand rent in 1902 seems expensive

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@econcallum I feel terms of trade externally and internally don’t get enough attention but admittedly that might mean I see it where it’s not actually important,

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@econcallum I wasn’t saying it necessarily changes the story (Ive not checked the data) just thought to disprove the specific claim we need to look value as well as quantity of exports.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

Matthew Turner who has registered a new vehicle. Youve given my email.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

Matthew Turner who booked a villa in Ibiza in May. They've received your payment, so all sorted.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

Matthew Turner looking to rent a place in the South West you’ve given my email so. It sure you’ll see replies

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@DrFrancesRyan @GarethDennis A useful piece. But is it true luxury cars cost the taxpayer no extra? Don’t the tax breaks mean effectively they are more subsidised?

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@econcallum Don’t we also need to look at the terms of trade?

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@colinwalker79 Why phevs?

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@Dan75878975 @BoringBiz_ @Raymond1103SD Everyone could have $1.9m without devaluing the currency if the economy was say 10x bigger, but more likely either you need inflation to get a 15% return or the return would be much mower and you’d not get there.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@John_Stepek Yeah I get the point and reference but it’s too much the vibes view of everything.

[MJT @mjturner1975]

@sircalebhammer This doesn’t mean x% of youths are unemployed. It means x% of those in work or looking for work are. You really need to compare NEET rates.
