Rachel Reeves should be very careful arguing only graduates should pay for their degrees

Would be a lot of cold pensioners without our generation’s taxes. I don’t make much use of the nuclear deterrent either

Education is a public good, not a commodity

IFS chief @PJTheEconomist (who doesn't have to get re-elected) on the winter fuel u-turn via @BBCPolitics

"It wouldn't even be in the top 100 of things that I would do with my £1.25 billion if I wanted to act on poverty. Almost none of the people impacted by this will be in poverty. Most of them will be at least as well off as the average in the population.

"We know that poverty is much worse among families with children than it is with pensioners, and of course the poorest pensioners are already getting this - they are covered through the pension credit system".

@pierrenovellie @dieworkwear Did the past not have ye olde units too?

Assuming you know your measurements (if not go and get measured on the high street and then run far away...), search on ebay & Vinted. My go-to brands are DAKS (look for 70s & 80s two button jackets) and Chester Barrie (gold dust imho)

the replies to this tweet, in which dan really did attempt to anticipate the worst of twitter and the worst of twitter proved that they simply cannot read, really does explain a lot about why the UK is Like This at the moment

@YurishReza @dieworkwear Is that not a tab collar? Can't see a metal pin there.

I really don't understand why that government minister wasn't able to pay a £2k mortgage on a £118k salary.

Is he totally inept at budgeting?

Do you know what we're paying for rent in the capital? And not on that salary?

[William Baxter @williambaxter2]

Thing is this is actually a really useful Tesco. It's the only decent-sized supermarket locally (closest options are Brunswick or Marylebone Waitroses?) so it is handy for residents and tourists.

I just googled this headline because I was suspicious that a screenshot of it I saw might have been a prank.
But no, it’s real.
And we wonder why we have almost no growth. A real mystery!
