@F15JCM There's so much propaganda and dissembling from both sides that it's literally impossible to know what is true.

With troops amassing in the region, via negotiation or otherwise, surely we are getting near to the SoH reopening
Anything battered on the threat of higher rates will surely bounce strongly. Might get a double boost if we see rates cut over fear of economic weakness

@MGinvestor The West are the only ones that (either selectively or otherwise) remotely care about 'international law'
English
Ive been saying for ages, the West calls upon international law only when it suits them. This is the only reason why its a joke and not cos some dicators or groups wont obey it as some numpties think.
What is US doing in Iran right now and why has Gaza been flattened? Why is the west bank still being stolen? There's too many examples
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand
Rubio admits that the war will end with Iran still in control of Hormuz and that they may decide to charge a toll, something other countries need to deal with: x.com/FurkanGozukara… "When this conflict, when this operation ends, if the Iranians decide 'well now we control the Strait of Hormuz and you can only go through here if you pay us and if we allow you to', not only is it illegal under international law and maritime law, it's unacceptable and that can't be allowed to exist. And so what we said is that the countries most impacted by that should be willing to do something about it, and we'll help them." This would mean, of course, that the war would have reinforced Iran's strategic position which, almost by definition, means the U.S. lost.

@NUFCMurph Club & supporters stood by Tonali when he went thru a difficult yr & didn't play for us, should do the same for the us if we don't have CL next yr. I actually think he will. If at the end of next yr we haven't qualified for CL then he's entitled to ask for a transfer; debt paid
English
Sandro Tonali would obviously be a big miss for us but can’t force him to stay if we get no European football. Don’t blame anyone who leaves this summer if we end up finishing bottom half of the table. As long as he leaves on good terms unlike Isak then I’d wish him the best

@Helen_Whately Assessed for PIP in March 2021 and claimed £23k between 2021 and 2024. Who was in government during those dates?

@vodkaquickstep I'm not sure revealing details of the preparedness (or otherwise) of our navy to potential aggressors is generally a good idea. However what is becoming clear is the criminal neglect of our armed forces by the last Conservative government, which is now coming home to roost.
English
I’m not a LBC fan particularly as like most media outlets they like to dramatise, but this interview truly is a disgrace. I’m highly embarrassed and genuinely concerned at the state of our military, particularly given events since 2022. We really are in a desperate situation. 😮💨

How many frigates and destroyers does the UK have at its disposal? Defence Secretary John Healey can't seem to tell @NickFerrariLBC with any certainty.

We often think that the effects of class background are washed out by education. But we show that two people who did the same subject at the same university at the same time, and got the same grade …. end up earning quite different amounts when they enter the labour market
Resolution Foundation@resfoundation
Even after graduating from university, people who grew up in poverty face significant pay gaps when compared with their more affluent peers. @annastansbury explains 👇
English
@annastansbury @maiamindel V interesting. Do we think we know why? Just biases in hiring/promoting? Or do they think they deserve more and therefore get more? Other?

@Bhoddhisattva @CharlotteCGill The quantum of Legatum investment is in relevant in the context of Gills comment "Left get huge foreign funds". And of course, no one knows who funds the IEA.
English
@Stemis3 @CharlotteCGill Ha! Damn! Transparent donations would you believe .. bloody spell checker!
English
I haven’t read the government’s foreign interference report yet.
But how does it make sense that funding from Brits abroad should be capped at £300k… meanwhile George Soros has given millions to left-wing activist groups like Best for Britain?
The left gets huge foreign funds!
English
@Stemis3 @CharlotteCGill Doesn’t matter per se BUT transparent deflation does AND truly foreign sourced funds on behalf of foreigners or other states shouldn’t be allowed
English
@WShak1 There are clearly a vocal minority that are very anti Howe but I'd agree that the majority of fans are willing to give him more time, a pre season and another transfer windows to turn things round.
English
Howe is an outstanding manager, but his better players have been run into the ground this season, due to the Champions League.
He needs a better squad, and to be kept away from recruitment himself.
He isn't under pressure from #NUFC fans.

@F15JCM @PerpetualValue @rhomboid1MF @RebelHQ The dangers of a concentrated portfolio. However much you think you know a company (and speaking as someone who's been on both sides of the 'relationship'), you really don't.

#GDWN there’s been quite the response to this investegate.co.uk/announcement/r… I’m not quite sure* the move is merited…granted the RNS was a touch less positive* than the one I was expecting …but not winning 2 incremental contracts seems an absolute sideshow…not really sure why they made the RNS tbf Duvelco revenue moving out wasn’t welcome…but also unsurprising On the plus side my Y/E tax planning got simplified I’m pretty certain the story hasn’t changed…but I now need to zoom out further to see green rather than red on a M2M basis *British understatement

@NewcastleFansTV To bring in who? We missed out on all our top choices in the summer transfer window, what makes you think we can have the pick of any manager we want?
