If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States… The United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

This is why Trump called Zelensky a "dictator"

@SpatialTechnol1 @BuckCllr @CmPooley1972 @lewis_goodall Actually in 2010 was 1.39Tn with an annual budget deficit of 149bn. That is equivilant to 2.09 tn and 190bn in 2024 accounting for inflation. The budget deficit in 2024 was 129bn so arguably much lower than inherited. fullfact.org do a good analysis and debunking

Kemi Badenoch mentioned how much the UK's debt interest is costing us. She's right, it's becoming a big problem. And a very substantial portion of that debt was added to the UK government's balance sheet during the Conservatives' period in office. UK debt 2010: £1trn UK debt 2024: £2.8178trn

@CmPooley1972 @SpatialTechnol1 @BuckCllr @lewis_goodall The note is a red herring brought up by others. The figures are determined from the graph. What everyone ignores when casting blame is that in every instance there is external factors outside Gov control causing deficit growth. 1990 Gulf war, 1992 ERM, 2008 Banking, 2020 COVID

@The_LWS @SpatialTechnol1 @BuckCllr @lewis_goodall The note was a longstanding joke and was often passed between new and old governments. Your figures are just a punt and in no way reflect actual. The calculations for austerity has since been found to be flawed.

@amir18931 @BuckCllr @lewis_goodall It is very basic maths. If you have a debt and committed outgoings greater than your income, that you cannot pay "cos there is no money", then year on year your debt will increase until you get spending down enough to allow you to start paying off the debt.

@BuckCllr @lewis_goodall If “there was no money left” how did the Tories add another 1.7 trillion to the debt you absolute melon! 🤦🏾‍♂️

@lewis_goodall You are blaming Tories for the problem, but it actually stems right back to Labour Party in 2008. Brown saddled the UK with 11% growth in annual debt. It took 5 years to curtail that annual debt growth, but that was effectively labour debt. The Tory debt is 2020 on mainly Covid

Last month we were delighted to be offered a private tour of the White Peak Distillery and to get to meet Max and his team. I have finally managed to put pen to paper (metaphorically speaking) and recorded our visit in a blog. spiritwarehouse.co.uk/blogs/news/a-j… @whitepeakwhisky #whisky

@thenim9 Totally agree! How much is a small 30ltr cask worth? Totally nuts. Also really bad that they have deemed that commercial casks are not separated. We own it just the same as private owners! Annoyingly we have a cask bottled up and on a pallet waiting to be shipped!

@The_LWS The separation of the wood and liquid is nuts. You pay for the cask, an all-in price. Not separately for the wood and liquid. A private customer should have the option to move the cask elsewhere and do with it as they please, as long as it stays in bond. Interesting legal case 👀

2024-08-26- the bankruptcy estate of Mackmyra Svensk Whisky AB makes the assessment that private cask customers have the right of separation. Full text @ spiritwarehouse.co.uk/blogs/news/mac…

@ATipplingPhilo OMG.... When is he going to be retired?! How can anyone take him seriously or think he should be President!

Nonsensical word salad

@mackmyra Mackmyra: A Journey into Administration Mark's Mumblings 😊 thelittlewhiskyshop.co.uk/blogs/news/mac…

Real shame to hear that @mackmyra have filed for bankruptcy today following issues with cash flow after their bank did not renew their overdraft. Worrying times for caks owner concerned about getting hold of their liquid before Mackmyra are are liquidated mackmyra.se/en-US/

@FiShoop @AlanDapre @22craftsman It would be lovely to see you in the new shop. Merry Christmas

@The_LWS @AlanDapre @22craftsman I must definitely visit next year! Merry Christmas xx

@Jotterface Glenlivet 12

Oooh apparently we have won a bottle of whisky in Miss Jotterface's school raffle. What are we guessing it will be?

@ATipplingPhilo Is it to increase clicks?

I can't tell you how bloody annoying Elmo removing headlines from articles is on this platform. It is the most impractical thing that man has yet done with this thing. It affects my work greatly from two angles and I am not happy!
