@camski Either side and opposite me are empty

@Realtommyrobbie @empfindlich1 @RobertJenrick I dont think that. But I think its time to do something for the future generations. Theyve had nothing. COVID and unemployment. Our cohort got mortgage tax relief to make buying a home affordable and grants for higher education. Would be great to bring those back in some form.

@peryskop3 @elerianm I agree with that. DOGE UK.

@Ed_Miliband Yes! Drill baby drill. Loving the new Ed Milliband. Lets go!

@moving_charlie Unbelievable. Devalue. Sterling is strong at 1.36/$. Maybe its a pump and dump. Time to break the triple lock - or we'll end up headed for the IMF. Invest in education and the future generation. The present starting to look unsalvageable.

Dall-E blew me away with this image we prompted for a presentation. The framing was "the more technology brings us together, the further it drives us apart". We discussed irony, frictional dissonance, use an adjective when you feel like making stuff up which is a metaphor, seen as creative in this context. We got back "data lake, governance layer, audit trail, immutable." Wow. And the dogs... Soc II certified and Decency who can't communicate... they are missing the middleware link... genius!

@middle_class_us By how much do you think it has to fall to get things going again ?

It would be better to get the repricing over with so we can get on with life and start again.

@moving_charlie They should bring back mortgage tax relief for first time buyers. I thought it was a good thing. Only because of that I was able to buy the first time.

[Impact Advisors @sanctionsintel]

@moving_charlie Will probably need the banks to feel some pain to catalyse any chance of change. But can you cut ? If I cut 10-15% i dont think mine sells. I guess if in negative equity you dont care about price. Can the lender stop you selling it below mortgage value ?

[Impact Advisors @sanctionsintel]

@mistressdivy Yes every day. But if I sell it then that will automatically mark the bottom of the market, stocks will crash and house prices will suddenly take off.

@MartaCecilia36 We live in a world where its more important to be compliant than to be honest.

Its less important to do something right that it is to not do something which is wrong.

@cynicalbobby Maybe they are students of Carl Sagan - “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”.

@UKDecline New businesses created Q1 2026 211,112 of which 89,515 active business entries. https://t.co/6bT61k2ZHP

Great piece by @camillahmturner. Incredible sophistication of the “pass KYC/AML” industry makes bad actors near impossible to detect. Time to replace the pass/fail test with a confidence score and explainability, to borrow from the AI industry?

@McFaul Maybe they got caught short WTI futures

[Impact Advisors @sanctionsintel]

@cduhaime That will be another couple of billion on the amount of unfrozen assets

[Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project @OCCRP]

Being able to look up a company’s ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) is an essential tool for investigative journalism. It can help reveal unexplained wealth, unearth evidence of crimes, and help hold corrupt actors to account. But in recent years, access has shrunk.

Following a controversial 2022 court decision, many EU countries closed their UBO registries to the public, now requiring applicants to prove a “legitimate interest” in the information.
