@Finumus1 Doesn't tax, like leverage, belong to the portfolio though?

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@andrew_lilico Perfect example of where an Alternative Vote system would help voters

@tomofsydenham @Finumus1 and half an hour on the phone

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@DAaronovitch It was even better when you had more than one X to think about.

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@DAaronovitch It's mainly a deficiency in First Past The Post

@Finumus1 @ph7litmus Replacing stamp duty with an annual Land Value Tax is probably the single most useful change a government could do - hence it won't happen. Restores mobility, economically efficient, can't be avoided by just *not moving*, and even ticks the "wealth tax" box. Yet political suicide

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@Finumus1 @JonathanRaym gotta live 25 years mind. I might take just a little less duration for a little less real yield...

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@gunnerpunner Exactly. It will be deemed a VAR error in a few weeks.

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@LiquidAy No. You are missing nothing. The VAR missed it though.

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@StokeyyG2 Whether there is a "covering defender" is irrelevant here. There's AWAYS one covering player left in DOGSO - usually a goalkeeper but not always. There has to be two to avoid the red. The goalkeeper took himself out of the game, last defender becomes the de facto goalkeeper. Red.

@Finumus1 @quidco Also use quidco a bit

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@Finumus1 @quidco Adds up over time

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@ShivaniM_KC GLP-1s are one of the few areas of medicine in the UK where brand names are used by everyone (in contrast to the US where this is the norm). It's a (in my view unwelcome) triumph of US-style marketing that this has happened. Seemingly no one refers to tirzepatide or semaglutide.

[Prof Charlotte Wilson Jones @CFWilsonJones]

Equally true for the Scottish bill and essential that it is understood no training can ensure coercion is definitely ruled out.

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@Finumus1 my perfectly-timed forced liquidation by IBKR in April 2025 once again clearly visible

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@ArseCannonPics Yes, but make sure to repeatedly click on "are you still here?" so that you don't forget

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@Arsenal @TicketmasterCS @TicketmasterUK I don't think you can quite understand how infuriating it is having to click "Yes I am still here" after being thrown out of the system an hour ago

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

Carabao tickets shambles - made worse by the passive aggressive "are you still waiting" box that pops up every few minutes just to rub it in.

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@calmal2k @Arsenal @TicketmasterCS @TicketmasterUK it's like @TicketmasterUK thinks we have nothing better to do than spend all afternoon on this.

[Tony Cleare @TCleare]

@paulswainAFC78 @Arsenal I was in, had tickets in the basket, then system froze before I could pay, threw me out, and now in a non moving queue and looking forward to hours wasted. Utter joke.
