Currently at the Temple on Coruscant, meditating, but always got time for a chat and a wee cuppa tea.

@tirnaog_09 @TIRO_67 A rangers win means Celtic can draw with Rangers next week and as long as they win the remaining two games they win the league no matter the other scores. Celtic 80 points. Rangers/Hearts max 79.

@TIRO_67 If they do there will be one point between top 3. If Hearts win, Gers are out of it. If it's a draw, Celtic stay 3 ahead or Rangers & 1 behind Hearts with Hearts to play at home on last day. I'd prefer a draw.

The table today suggests a draw tomorrow would suit Celtic?

@AidanBoustred @DanNeidle So, no allowances for those who do and don't contribute. No allowances for retirees, children , the sick, those under the radar, independently wealthy and don't need to work. The figures are of limited value.

@RoverguyB @DanNeidle GDP per capita is total GDP divided by population (including children). A society where a smaller % of population work will have higher average earnings compared to GDP per capita. So they aren't quite the same thing. Also GDP would include company profits etc.

@RoverguyB @DanNeidle That's what I suspected. The OP is about GDP per capita, not average earnings (related but a separate measure). GDP does include self employed income, although it probably is more difficult to measure accurately than PAYE.

@RoverguyB @DanNeidle This is a measure of GDP, which is definitely supposed to include the self employed. Where are you getting this info?

@DanNeidle During austerity public services, who are in PAYE, received a low or zero pay award, stunting pay growth. There's your route problem. The private sector self employed generally received better pay but this was and isn't reported.

@DanNeidle The figures for the UK are usually only based upon employees in PAYE. They don't include the self employed who do their own taxes and are classed as sole traders, contractors, etc. This has always skewed UK salary comparisons as the self employed are well paid but not counted.

@lukejcr Subsidised drink and food at work, then subsidised transport home to the door of a subsidised million pound gaff that they get to keep. If I don't report a diary with a company logo on it I'm toast.

🚨Breaking news: MPs are human and sometimes have a drink. Classic clickbait farming 👎 MPs work long days for constituents, and yes, sometimes share a drink in the evening with colleagues. Last week I was scandalously spotted with… an alcohol-free pint or two between votes 😱 But sure, let’s talk about that instead of the Greens’ wacky policies. Trying to distract us, maybe? 🙄

"You can smell the alcohol when people are in between votes." Green MP Hannah Spencer tells us what Westminster is REALLY like. The full interview is live on YouTube, and as a podcast here: linktr.ee/howtorebuildbr…

@UnderscoreYara France and Britain haven't been at war for over 200 years. Since then we've been allies in European and world wars. It's no longer war between us, rather, a competitive but respectful rivalry.

@commons96055467 It's not just Trump. His cultish acolytes will remain...70 million Americans happy to stand by and watch the country disintegrate without thought or comment. Three generations at least before the US can be trusted again.

@euromaximal China was fighting Japan from 37, lost at least 15m dead, and tied down over a million Japanese troops as the US island hopped. Yes, let's not forget our allies from WW2.

Who keeps threatening to dismantle the European Union and the territorial integrity of European nations? Who keeps sowing dissent and division in European politics? Who keeps befriending our biggest enemy? Europeans aren’t alienating America. America alienated itself.

@BBCBreaking Perhaps, given the current and historic economic and political crisis that seem to constantly afflict Argentina, we offer Argentina the option of joining the Falkland Islands.
