Great discovery in my father-in-laws loft.
Teesside steel built the world and the men of Teesside powered the nation. 💪
Since production started in 1975 the Forties Field has produced 2.6 billion barrels of oil and has provided tens of billion of pounds for the Treasury.

This is a very big deal and it is striking that only Liam, Ed Conway and one or two other notable journalists and professional economic commentators at the the national level are really talking about it.
It shows you how weak the depth of economic and fiscal policy knowledge is in the national media.
The UK is in a profound fiscal bind. The markets do not buy into the Chancellor's medium term spending plans and the growth outlook for the UK.
In all seriousness, we should be deeply worried. A hard fiscal contraction is coming. The massive state bureaucracy and welfare bill is unlikely to be cut under Labour, so it will be the usual suspect areas like policing, prisons, defence, FE, and transport that will again see spending slashed.

So the UK's 10-year gilt yield - the cost of government borrowing - is now up at 2008 levels. An 18-year high The difference is that, back then, UK national debt was 48pc of GDP, and now it's the best part of 100pc. So the debt service costs are much MUCH heavier. Of the £14.3bn the UK government borrowed in February alone, no less than £13bn of that was spent on interest on existing debts - a situation which is not only unsustainable, but very close to provoking a disastrous financial collapse. Yet still, our national discourse is all about more spending, more borrowing, more "state intervention". When is the Labour party – and much of the listless, unthinking rump of the UK's political and media class – going to start acknowledging reality? WHEN ....?

#TOTCRY - 33”
As everyone can clearly see, Ismaila Sarr’s nose is offside, so we can’t allow the goal or a big 6 club to get relegated

It is a shame @TorstenBell has switched off comments. Because contrary to his claims of “clickbait” many believe that this is exactly what the government is doing …
Torsten Bell@TorstenBell
Luckily… the government isn’t directing how pension funds are investing. Ludicrous click bait framing that needs calling out.

#CPFC fans I know this is a massive ask but if you could RT the below tweet and get the applause going for the big man in the 62nd minute tomorrow night it would be massively appreciated ❤️🦅 💙 @CPFC

#CPFC fans we lost one of our own on Tuesday morning. Sean was a lifelong Palace fan who passed at the young age of 62, taken far too soon. In memory of him I was wondering if we could get a moment of applause in the 62nd minute on Wednesday night 🦅❤️💙

£2,250 + VAT per season these seats cost. £2,700.
They're forcibly evicting 500 season ticket holders from behind the goals to get these in. Shame.

To have the good times you need to suffer the bad times. But also sometimes you need to be the reason someone else has their highest of highs. It was our turn to be that for Macclesfield yesterday. A team who have been through some awful times recently. Good luck to them.

Fair play to the Palace fans at Macclesfield today, they applauded the home side off after their famous upset against the holders.
They might not have got the result they came for, but that’s a touch of class by Palace fans!
👏

Crystal Palace have allowed Macclesfield to keep 100% of the ticket sales for today’s FA Cup game between the 2 sides.
Typically, gate receipts in FA Cup ties are split between the 2 clubs. A great gesture by The FA Cup holders. 👏
