I don’t know about Scotland paying to redevelop London but I did read some time ago that if you count British oil and gas production as Scottish only (given it’s in Scotland’s sovereign water) then per capita Scotland historically contributes more to UK’s economy than England, Wales or Northern...

I think in the majority (if not all) cases the levelling up fund doesn’t even restore local budgets to pre austerity levels so what is it levelling up exactly?

Is it your BMI?

Let’s face it. The so called Tax windfalls are only there as window dressing to hide the tax rises. Would anyone be surprised if they’re all reversed at the next budget whereas the tax rises will remain.

Haven’t listened to James O’Brien today. I was referring to comments made by the head of the OBR yesterday that brexit has damaged the UK GDP by 4% and that is expected to continue long term. It’s also what they said would happen as part of the apparent project fear. Looks like the experts were...

Apparently the effects of brexit are twice as damaging to the economy than the pandemic so in reality you’re more likely to be paying more tax to cover the effects of brexit than you are the pandemic. Still no VAT cut on energy bills either, another brexit promise undelivered.

Is that even possible when China makes 75% of all battery cells made in the world. Everything you own that has a battery contains a component that was probably made in China even if the item itself wasn’t.

Could be worse. You could be on the opposite end of the argument The hole this guy keeps digging for himself is getting so deep that it doesn’t matter how much concrete can “grow” there won’t be enough to fill it. Although I’ve never heard of this guy before this so in many ways being stupid...

So. Just to be clear. We have labour shortages causing shelves to empty in shops, panic buying, industries slowing to a crawl because they can’t get materials, we’re pumping untreated sewage into the rivers and seas, industries lost access to markets, a government who’s willingness to bend over...
