@faisalislam They're Schrodinger's Impact Statements. They both exist and don't exist simultaneously. It's the only explanation.

@paullewismoney Very. A remarkable actress.

Sad.

@moving_charlie ChatGPT knows how to be a dick!

Pretty much.

@HenryPryor Suspect that article is from 2023 (interest rates went up to 4% in Feb) and they’ve just reused it without any editing. Poor from BBC.

Not sure who Amanda & Iona are or what their experience or qualifications are to be dishing out advice but this brief article doesn't inspire much confidence. For now, stick with Phil & Kirstie! bbc.co.uk/articles/c07kd…

@faisalislam It means some form of customs union? The EU is a rule based block.

German fin minister Kukies tells me “actively looking to do more”…

“we've seen intensity of trade with UK gone down quite substantially, if I measure it against our trade partners in world. We used to do a lot more than we are doing now…any progress highly welcome”

NEW here in Brussels as Chancellor says she wants to reset economic relationship with the EU… She’s says she wants a “more normal trading arrangement” with the EU… What does that mean? And how will it go down here.. I’ve just spoken to the German finance minister….

@Number10cat I fear a stealth raid on Dreamies.

Lots of discussion about "working people" none whatsoever about "working cats"

Jesus @ITVX a show is now a series of commercials broken up by a bit of the show. It’s unwatchable.

@Outfoxthemarket What are you doing about the calls in your name pressure selling energy meters?

Mancini at the Proms - easy to criticise but the whole thing needs to be a lot tighter.

@chrischirp My Country ‘Tis of Thee - the USA ‘version’ of the British Anthem - is beautiful. Aretha Franklyn singing at Obama’s inauguration was very moving. Our version is weighed down by its lyrics.

Some more musings: - Italy has a good tune and interesting clapping sequence but too long - china and GB have great advantage of being short - France has a good anthem made amazing when the whole stadium is singing it with pride and joy

@Outfoxthemarket We’re being harassed by nuisance calls about smart meter installation. We don’t want. Also the calls request a call back which is chargeable. It’s a scam. You need to remove my number from this sales database. DM me here to arrange.

From the world of you couldn’t make it up, chef arrested in Olympic plot.

@Curetons_UK Asking prices yes, not sold prices which have fallen on average in London over the last 365 days. You can ask the ONS for details, but I’m guessing you knew that.

London property continues to outstrip average rise in prices. Property prices in #London have continued to rise at a far faster pace than the rest of Britain over the past 12 months #londonproperty financialreporter.co.uk/london-propert…

@DavidHenigUK Ah. Goodwin’s law.

There used to be a rule among seasoned EU watchers, that is Wolfgang Munchau said something, the opposite would be true. Then he got a column in the New Statesman... suffice to say this on regulatory alignment shows no understanding of the subject eurointelligence.com/column/how-lik…

@IanDunt Good Lord. Appointing experts if you please. I’m quite sure nothing good can come of it.

Yes, it looks terribly dangerous. Imagine the violent chaos this type of figure might engage in.

@Otto_English It is rather good but who is supposed to be?

I actually think it's rather good for a royal painting, but isn't there something a bit Dorian Grayish about it?

RT @ProfFeynman: If you wanna remain happy, stop caring about what other people think.

@mattholehouse He’s wearing the right clothes then.

Seemingly dressed for a funeral

@JuliaKollewe, I am curious. You cite indices (building societies and portals) showing an annual rise in house prices. However, there's no mention of acadata.co.uk/local-markets-… which shows up to a 10% annual fall in many London boroughs. Is there a reason for this?

@richard_donnell @Zoopla Interesting to see Acadata showing annual prices down by up to 10% in many London boroughs: acadata.co.uk/local-markets-…

@Zoopla #HPI out today -0.5% yoy, from -1.4% Oct-23. House prices firming across all areas but a 3 tier market. Upside for sales volumes but no acceleration in HPI. Report zoopla.co.uk/discover/prope…
