In the grand scheme of things? I guess it depends on how you measure it, 7k of jobs or by the amount of revenue generated by 7k of jobs in the sector with unfettered access to the EU market.

When this guy is saying it won’t work by any measurement it’s probably worth ditching the idea and move onto a tangible problem that will help the majority of people not a minority https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/sep/21/fracking-wont-work-uk-founder-chris-cornelius-cuadrilla For...

The desperation. Like Truss hasn’t been in government the last 6 years, one of brexits chief cheerleaders (once she changed her mind) and one of brexits chief architects (once she changed her mind)...

It’s been done because 7000 banking jobs migrated to the EU as a direct result of Brexit. They’re trying to woo them back but as an industry expert pointed out the other day they didn’t leave because of bonuses they left because of access to market. They may get some individuals to return but...

What percentage of the population is going to get this windfall? We’re talking percentage points. How many bankers are being paid in the UK this paying UK taxes? You’re talking a percentage of percentage points. How many banks pay all their taxes in the UK even on UK profits? Banks are notorious...

They seem to owe HMRC, don’t recall us owing HMRC. That’s a big difference.

Hard to see what this will ultimately mean. Having gone through our own administration and coming out the other side with very little changed I’m sceptical about Wasps pending administration.

Japan infamously has some of the most demanding working hours in the world. It drives the suicide rate so much that they’ve invented a new word for suicide brought on from overworking, karoshi. You have literally (no doubt deliberately) picked the worst possible country to draw comparisons too...

I see a Tory MP admitted on News Night last night that dropping the cap on bankers bonuses is to try and win back business that left the UK for the EU because of Brexit. Madness. Sold as a brexit bonus not a desperate response to the damage done by brexit.

Fortunately for young Russian men some logistics are still working https://www.politico.eu/article/flights-leaving-russia-sell-out-after-putin-announces-mobilization/

You don’t think it will be more? Think about it. He can’t say he isn’t mobilising the reserves when in reality he’s mobilising tens if not 100’s of thousands of them. People are going to notice, he can’t sell that lie. So he tells them he’s mobilising 300,000 and blames everyone else while...

Not really. The banking crisis was caused by deregulation and greed from within the banking industry. It was a self inflicted crisis on banking that we had to pay price for. If your local chippy shuts down because they can’t afford to buy the potatoes, fish, oil, flour etc as well as turn the...

Because in a crisis everyone is a socialist.

I believe it’s known as postural sway In reality it’s all a game to them so he’s probably on the phone to his mum asking her if she can see him on telly yet and then getting all excited when she said yes.

300,000 reservists mobilised. Not a good look for Putin. That’s the official number anyway, you can pretty much guarantee that the actual number will be higher.

It’s being suggested that he’s going to rush through an “impartial, free and fair” referendum on annexing parts of Ukraine currently under Russian occupation so he can claim that any further Ukrainian advances are an invasion by Ukraine forces on Russian sovereign territory.

She isn’t going to face a journalist who’s going to challenge her.

The devil is obviously in the detail but from what she’s said in interviews she seems completely economically illiterate. She’s been banging on about our debt to GDP ratio desperately trying to justify borrowing by saying we’re not as bad as other G7 countries. Which as a comment in isolation...

Her body language gives her away. It’s the head nodding. Just reminds me of this
