@skyrider2020 @sixfootcandy And house prices were comparatively fuck all
English
As a Gen Xer, I can tell you boomers and even my own generation comparing their 20s to today’s 20-30 year-olds needs to stop. I paid $600 for a West Hollywood apartment at 23. Today it’s $3500. Burgers weren’t $20, they were $6 to $8 in a nice restaurant. Life is not comparable. It’s a completely different world now.

@ThinkFYS1975 @johncrossmirror @theofficialfwa That's fine. And it's within the rules just about.
I'm just saying I'm not a big fan of it. Would prefer a team who win the league to play more attractive football but that's probably not been the case in a while.
English
@andrewwhitty @johncrossmirror @theofficialfwa Whitty the twitty. Everybody does everything arsenal does. We just built a big, strong and physical team to maximise outcomes. Most are copying 🤷♂️
English
For reasons I can't quite understand, Arsenal have gone from being very popular with neutrals to being, well, rather unpopular. I actually think much of this makes sense.

For many fans, 'anyone but Manchester City' has become 'anyone but Arsenal' this season. As the two clubs prepare to meet in this weekend's Carabao Cup final, @Carra23 explains why Mikel Arteta's side have their detractors 👇 telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@lordnickbend @baldy_bonito @johncrossmirror @theofficialfwa Only team I've seen as bad this season were Everton.

@baldy_bonito @andrewwhitty @johncrossmirror @theofficialfwa He only watches United and ingests opinions on X and then regurgitates them. There isn’t an original thought interesting head, let alone a nuanced one.

@Best_Weston_ @AdamSamue1 @henrywinter Classic social media moment, talking nonsense when you don’t know all the info

Tuchel gives 11 players, who've had intense club seasons, “a bit of a break” and they will miss the Uruguay game: D Henderson, Burn, Konsa, Guehi, Anderson, O’Reilly, Rice, Rogers, Kane, Gordon, Saka. "All of these guys have played 3,500+ mins. They will come with hunger." #ENG

@manuscott68 @goal Slightly older at 18 but potentially two of the best in the respective squads!!
I guess the other youngster who springs to mind would be Walcott. Who am I missing?
English
Thomas Tuchel hasn't ruled out bringing Max Dowman to the World Cup 🤯
The England manager stated 'He’s a fantastic talent. The reality is he’s not a regular starter. He’s in the best environment possible, learning from the very best' 👏
Would you take him to the World Cup if you were the England manager? 🤔
English
@Doro_larko @goal There’s no denying Greenwood is an exceptional talent, but he’ll be nowhere near the England squad. PR disaster.
I do struggle with it slightly though, because at some point there should be room for rehabilitation, forgiveness, and the possibility that people can change.
English
@goal I still don't get all the hype around this guy.
I'd pick Greenwood over him
English
@davidsmith1932 I've fallen into that trap. With kids I don't have the time to watch other teams like I used to (or play FIFA and football manager!)
The guardian app has a wee daily test of guess the footballer which I'm finding interesting (but struggling with!)
English
I'm ashamed to say that looking at Bournemouth's team, i don't recognise any of their side, that could potentially bite me in the arse by 10pm..I really need to improve my non Utd 'ball' knowledge.

So it's actually a story about parents gifting their money into their children's Junior ISAs (to take money out of their estate and reduce future inheritance tax)
But you chose to use a chart about the breakdown between Cash ISAs and Stocks and Shares ISAs. (which is still money in their estate and doesn't change future inheritance tax)
🤔

@dontdelay One of them that offers a good cash isa rate also has excellent fees (none) for its stocks and shares isa.
English
Share trading platforms that offer attractive rates on Cash ISAs, often short term, to then market their share trading services to you
Predatory?
Buyer beware?
Beat them at their own game?
I can’t decide on this one.
English
@CatHobbs @harry_wood Justification can only be cash flow? But seems wasteful as someone is clearly making a cut.

Huge missed opportunity that these new trains will not be owned by ScotRail
They are being leased by Beacon Rail which is owned by JP Morgan Asset Management
Rolling stock is the most profitable bit of the railway
Scotland should own its own trains!

@TiceRichard @reformparty_uk Will you fuck. You're an opportunistic money-grabbing selfish prick. The type who will find ways to funnel public money to you and your mates.

Most people don’t realise where the £180 million actually went at the A303 Stonehenge tunnel project. It wasn’t construction. It was years of: • Environmental impact assessments • Heritage & archaeological studies • Legal challenges and consultations • Design, engineering and traffic modelling • Public inquiries and revisions All before a single shovel hit the ground. This is the real problem in Britain: We don’t just waste money, we build systems that guarantee it. £180 million to build nothing.

@DomMgy1 @StuartSmudge @AnnabelDenham1 The houses are still available to rent, there are enough houses. The problem is property being turned into an asset class instead of a place to live and bought up by financial institutions and mega-landlords.
English
@StuartSmudge @AnnabelDenham1 Maybe we shouldn't be deliberately expanding the population faster than houses are built? It is a political choice.

The real story is the sharp increase in unemployment among 18-24yo men - to a staggering 17.2%, up from 16.1% in last month’s data.
It was 13.8% in a comparable period a year ago.

@sueinphilly @simoncholland Litres / km is such a better statistic than miles per gallon.
Miles per gallon makes it so difficult to compare efficiency.
English
@simoncholland A, does she know how many gallons of gas that car holds
B, does she know how many miles per gallon her car gets?
You need to have the variables in order to do the calculation
The fuel gauge in cars can misrepresented, especially at the very beginning when the tank is full
English
I asked my teenager how much gas her car had and she said, “72 miles.” I guess phrases like, “ a quarter of a tank” are going extinct.

@santanderuk @joncollins85 An initial message that these teams are closed 😂

Stat of the day from @Moneyfactscomp Sub-4% fixed rate mortgage deals are disappearing, thanks to higher money market swap rates But anyone assuming that remortgaging isn't worthwhile should note that the average standard rate (payable when a fixed deal expires) is 7.13%

@dontdelay People are still dying. At most it’s a temporary delay, and plenty of money is transferred to relatives before death regardless of IHT
English
I understand the desire to abolish inheritance tax
And as someone who manages a lot of investments for a lot pensioners if they’re no longer worried about inheritance tax, we’re likely to manage more money for more time
But be careful what you wish for
If the flow of money from parents and grandparents to their children and grandchildren stops, a lot of property purchases wouldn’t go ahead. A lot of spending would no longer happen.
