@scssofas I sent a DM yesterday about the problems we're having getting to speak to someone via your customer care phone number. However, have not heard back. Can someone please reply or provide a phone number to a line that is answered?

This year's Anglo German Lecture, delivered by @WendyCarlinEcon on the inequality revolution in macroeconomics is now underway. @EconSteveM delivers a welcome introduction.

In Material World I wondered out loud: what if one of the critical pinch points in global silicon chip production got knocked out?
It was a rhetorical question!
Now it has literally happened.
So. What next?
First: don't panic.

You learn something every day. The underlying meaning behind the number of poles, it's height and circumference had escaped me until now.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

The Dome (is there no end to the New Labour legacy?) 12 yellow poles for the months of the year, 52 metres high for the weeks of the year, 365 metres round for the days of the year.

There is a lot of talk this weekend about the impact of #Brexit on the UK economy. The process not only damaged us directly but most probably exacerbated the impact of #Covid and #energyprice shocks.

Boris Johnson romped home in 2019 promising to “level-up all parts of the UK”.

@NIESRorg says the policy has been a failure”.

In 2019/20, the gap in living standards between London and the North East was on average £4,600 per household. By 2023/24, it had risen to £7,300… 🧵

Amazing what you see when wandering around. This is the Suffragette Memorial in #Westminster to commemorate their courage and perseverance.

You couldn't make it up...

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

Rishi Sunak asks Welsh voters if they’re looking forward to the Euros.

Wales didn’t qualify. Oops.

[Neil Lakeland @nlakeland]

A key theme, during the next six weeks of the #GeneralElection2024 campaign, will be on the #economy. @NIESRorg has lots to say on this, with one recent piece from @PBejaranoCarbo looking at our current situation & future prospects: https://t.co/dmcAdM1MHO
