Damien Talks Money

Should the UK copy Spain's wealth tax? Dan Neidle: "Wealth taxes historically have not done anything like what they've promised to do" 🎥 Making Money Podcast - Why Wealth Taxes Fail

You're at least £530 per year worse off because of this stealth tax: *if your salary is £15,000+ Our tax brackets have been frozen since 2020 – and they're frozen until at least 2028 The government can claim they haven't put taxes up, yet we're paying £27.6 billion more of it.

@s8mb @bswud @SCP_Hughes Hi Sam, Excellent essay I run a Youtube channel with around 220k subs called Damien Talks Money. Would you mind if I cover some of the findings of the report and give you full credit in the video & link to the report itself?

Foundations: Why Britain Has Stagnated. A new essay by @bswud, @SCP_Hughes & me. Why the UK's ban on investment in housing, infrastructure and energy is not just a problem. It is *the* problem. And how fixing it is the defining task of our generation. ukfoundations.co

@FlyingFinance Thank you Andy!

This is just superb. The quality of the content being produced by @TalksDamien, and the production values, just keep getting better and better. Well worth 10min of your weekend. youtu.be/NWnxVvWIFjo?si…

@ChrisGiles_ What about the Service and OOH inflation?

Unambiguously good UK inflation data There has been precious little price growth since June 2023 and that is before April’s energy price cuts kick in

@AvantiWestCoast Why not move the scheduled engineering work on 14/20/21 and 22nd to the date of the strikes?

ASLEF have announced strike action at Avanti West Coast and two other train companies on Sat 3 Feb. This is part of strike action affecting multiple train companies between 30 Jan and 5 Feb. We’re looking into the impact of these strikes, and will provide an update ASAP.

@WilkinsonAzure I think you may have witnessed me get attacked outside a bar in Manchester on Saturday night. Would it be possible for you to get in touch with me so I can pass your details to the police? Would really appreciate you submitting a statement of whatever you saw 💙

@vector_ially @MENnewsdesk Thank you for sharing this really appreciate it Damo

@MENnewsdesk Stay vigilant, people. Man City fan and finance YouTuber 'Damien Talks Money' was knocked out by a complete stranger outside a pub/bar in Piccadilly Gardens after watching & celebrating the UCL final. youtube.com/watch?v=xRs2Gj…

Preparations underway for Man City parade as police tell fans to 'remain vigilant' manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

@indiepauper Thank you so much for sharing this and for your kinds words. I am feeling loads better now about everything! Damo

@RD_vs_EW_vs_VI Thank you for this and your kind words 🙏🏻

Really shit to hear Damo from #Damientalksmoney got attacked recently. Sad reminder that random violence is still a part of our culture. Takes a tough man to open up about it like he does. TW: assault youtu.be/xRs2GjhxEOM

@MrPeachUK Thank you so much for this honestly really appreciate it

Please support the shit out of this guy, please. Even if it's just a sub to his channel. @TalksDamien Poor guy got assaulted whilst just chatting to his friends outside a pub Saturday night & doesn't even remember it happening because the punch came from nowhere. His YT channel is his job and right now he can barely focus to write scripts for his videos or anything, having been mugged myself i know what this can do to you psychologically too. This guy is a really decent dude and does not deserve this so please anything you can do, even a kind message of support. (He's forwarding donations to a victim support charity so probably no point sending money unless you want to support that instead.) youtu.be/xRs2GjhxEOM

@MelissaAtAll I am open you your view on this and I must admit I did think am I being insensitive here… but thought if I died I would hope people still shared some of my best moments. Please let me know if you think I am wrong the last thing I want to do is cause offence.

@MelissaAtAll Thanks for this. I am aware of the fact she passed away. But the ‘who is she’ clip is one of the most well recognised clips in U.K. TV history and to stop using it because she passed away in my opinion is the wrong way to go about it. Should we not celebrate her?

Are Youtube Analytics Broken?

@thedigiknow support.google.com/youtube/thread…

Hello YouTube friends! Is anyone else seeing an analytics gap between 3PM - 12AM EST yesterday? I find it hard to believe my 2 day old video got zero views between 3 and midnight! 🤔

@AzFk11 @TeamYouTube support.google.com/youtube/thread…

@TeamYouTube I have been experiencing the same views issues with youtube analytics as many of the other accounts. When is this expected to be resolved?

@DylbobzYT @pickapixelyt This isn't true live view count on youtube front end are also missing views. support.google.com/youtube/thread…

@pickapixelyt I wouldn't worry too much about it. The live count for videos still shows exactly how many people are watching so they're clearly being recorded and I'm sure the analytics will be reverted when they figure it out. Good Luck anyway, YouTube always has us on strings xD

Might hold off on uploads until the view glitch fixes, if it is back before 6pm tonight then I will still post as usual!

@SpiritofHo This is a bug affecting all creators just a problem with analytics don't worry you are not special

While I am grateful for 38k subscribers on YouTube, the platform is finding insidious ways to censor my work. My latest video is LOSING views, starting at 13k in first five hours only for analytics to claim the video has less than five views over that period. This is impossible.

@Pezzy__ Yep

Any other creators today noticing youtube analytics glitching out and just taking away views? I know its probably a glitch, just wondering how many people its happening to
