More from this tax guy on CGT, he posts some interesting financial analysis that isn’t just “give the rich more money and it’ll trickle down” or “money isn’t real spend as much as you like”

I like my kids I’m afraid. But also why should everyone have to move to London for a decent job and the rest of the country just rot?

Well sell him for big money to NK Maribor

It’s treasury brain, because London is so much more productive the sums always show a bigger benefit to building in London so that’s what they approve.

Perhaps we could express the chance he’ll go in some numerical form.

I just think it all needs doing. We’re so far behind most similar nations on every transport metric: HS lines, electrification, trams, undergrounds, etc.

No that would be reduced by ten percentage points.

Delays happen for a multitude of reasons capacity being one of them. Put it this way: Is there anything you would build?

We should really be part of Birmingham economically. As in it should be easy and quick to commute via train or tram to Birmingham. Getting to London is only important because that’s where all the economic activity is. Not popular in Coventry but probably true. I only work in London cos there’s...

You assume everyone can get a full time NMW job. The stats don’t back that up. Illness, precarious work, not being able to get the hours, etc all impact.

Binks is a couple of years younger isn’t he? All about the ceiling.

God damn you now I’ve got to order uber eats

Turns out he’s got Celtic heritage and is actually McBrekalo so now he’s not interested.

Where are this weeks signings anyway? finish one rumour before you start another.

I don’t think he is but if you class Lati as a RB it works.
