Vote for the best Sunday lunch in Lincolnshire. It’s obviously The Kings Head in Navenby. I had the tomahawk roast yesterday and it was sublime.

Interesting article and thread. A key takeaway being that the UK is a bad place to have children. Our homes, tax system and childcare policies inhibit our potential to grow the population, putting people off having children and discriminating against some who do.

Is Britain ready for the Baby Bust? My column this week is on, quite literally, the biggest story in the world - what's happening to population. Quick thread as some of the stats are pretty jaw-dropping (1/?) thetimes.co.uk/article/were-d…

Four of the top 10 towns with the biggest brain drain are right here in Lincolnshire. We’re losing talent, which has a negative impact on local economies, and exacerbates the challenges of an ageing population.

Fascinating. Biggest net losers of graduates in England (i.e. "brain drain"): 1. Richmond (Yorks) 2. Sandown 3. Boston 4. Skegness 5. Liskeard 6. Sleaford 7. Heathfield 8. Spalding 9. Hexham 10. Driffield

@PensionsMonkey Is there enough detail in Labour’s plan for financial services to do a podcast episode on it?

@George_Nixon97 The Belgian rate is intriguing. I wonder whether it’s cultural, market-led or shaped by policy.
English
@paulctrhodes Cheers Paul. That chart is one of my favourites! I think it's an interesting subject, and I do think there's a place for them - especially for first-time buyers or upsizers taking out BIG loans, but every politician always seem to think they're a silver bullet

Interesting short 🧵 on why 25yr fixed mortgages aren’t more common.
George Nixon@George_Nixon97
Politicians love proposing these ideas - something similar was listed in the 2019 Tory Manifesto - and guys like @montysblog and @LondonMoneyFS know how much I like talking about it. Firstly, 10 and even 25+ year fixes are available in UK, if niche. People just don't take them!

@GordonBrown Please can someone provide me with where I can find the literature to support these figures - I’m wanting to evidence the huge impact that the COL crisis is having on families. Thank you

Britain’s poor face the worst winter in living memory.
A year ago we talked about people having to choose between heating and eating, now many can’t afford either. Basics like soap, toothpaste etc are becoming unaffordable luxuries.
And it’s only going to get worse.
