• Now that the dust has settled on any hope for a full 100% Qatari takeover, we can look at a number of reasons why there is optimism regarding Sir Jim Ratcliffe's acquisition. INEOS boast a great record of development into the sports they have put their feet into, including of course football. — Their work is driven by data science in order to reach maximum results & performances, as seen in how our new to be Chief "Sir Dave Brailsford" revolutionised cycling by using data science — even to achieve as they call it “marginal gains” over competitors by delving deeper into miniscule things such as, diet & sleep. — Nice are currently 2nd in Ligue 1 as their recruitment talent has clicked, something which will be useful here. — INEOS have had talks with Mitchell, Edwards, Campos. All who are world class recruitment specialists. — INEOS have only agreed to buy in due to the fact that they will take full control. • Glazers will be bought out in a maximum of 3 years, very likely to be sooner. • After this, the minority will be bought out & the stock will be made private. 📝 A lot of people would prefer an end to the Glazers straight away but they WILL be gone soon & that is a huge gain. INEOS taking direct control of footballing operations will make a monumental difference, as new departments will be opened & new employees will arrive into a wide range of places at the club, in order to fix the current HORRIFIC structure.

I decided to jump on a plane and come back to Uk Renters Rights Act came in yesterday, cost of living is killing everybody, and our country has been marked as unsafe from terrorist attacks. To hell with this, I’m coming back to try sort some of this nonsense out. See you shortly 👊🏼

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

The Greens will raise the minimum wage to £15 for all workers 💪

Put solar panels on car parks rather than plastering them on thousands of acres of prime farmland. It’s a hell of a lot more logical.

Self-funding tax cuts. The scale of disincentivisation in the Irish tax regime means that cutting rates and raising the threshold at which 50%+ marginal rates kick in would generate lots of addition taxes. As someone has noted, this would also keep older workers in the labour force, some of whom retire early because they are so fed up paying exorbitant taxes.
