@DanNeidle @policy_uk @ntrickett16 Depends what the rate was at the time. Look at European % five years ago. 25 year mortgage at under 2%. And no, they weren't 1% higher at the time. Please check.
English
@policy_uk @ntrickett16 How many people would buy a 30 year mortgage in the UK, were one available, given the rate would be around 1% higher?

@JohnRentoul Interesting how some places just slide on by: Sheffield, look at population. Glasgow, although on the list.
English
It is obviously Edinburgh. England's second city is more contentious
Matt Chorley@MattChorley
Which is Britain’s second city? open.substack.com/pub/mattchorle…

@forwardnotback @Chaz01BR was she the one who arranged the extra custard? if yes, a keeper.
English
Teatime with the Custard Kid
Meatballs & Spaghetti in tomato sauce
Apple & Blackberry Crumble with custard (cup of extra custard)
The meatballs might be a struggle 😀

@GordonMcKeeMP There's always Manchester and Sheffield, miserable train service as an alternative to a couple of very scenic A roads. Pretty, but not efficient.
English
This is one reason why Britain is less productive than Germany

@Kevin_Maguire Was Magnus tipped off by Trump Friday would be a good time to deliver his report? And Simons should have waited until a lull in the bombing and missiles? OK.
English
And Josh Simons is gone under cover of Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran, the now former Minister’s politically murky past catching up with him.

They preach sovereignty then demand vassalage
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage
The Prime Minister needs to change his mind on the use of our military bases and back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!
English
@RossKempsell @GuidoFawkes He said it was a 24 hour trip. It’s not. Get a map. He had no intention of going. And ok to go, no, see FCDO guidance. For an MP, perhaps if arranged, which he didn’t. But you know all this.
English
It is completely wrong to deny access to British Indian Ocean Territory to a UK parliamentarian. It is possible to enter BIOT with permission on reasonable grounds - given public interest the FCDO should not deny British parliamentarians access to British overseas territories
English
@JohnRentoul It’s also about 3 days sailing from Maldives. Mr Farage sometimes fibs.
English
It’s 120 miles from Diego Garcia
Rt. Hon Ben Wallace@BenWallace70
No Mr Farage you cant just turn up at sensitive military bases either in the UK or abroad. No MP can - no matter what Party you represent. We don’t do open days around the trident warhead or open house for the SAS either. @bbc @thetimes @Telegraph

@forwardnotback Tim, thank you for being wise, kind and a quiz I failed at all too regularly. A small something to Shelter while thinking about you. Custard with everything.
English
While Tim is with us, we’ll read your messages to him.
English
Quick update, sorry no more #twitterquiz I am in critical care in Portsmouth and gravely ill. Sorry for the message, thanks for all the fun and friendship over the years. I can’t reply to messages.

@BrynHarris6 but Judah's article does provide background explaining why every western military and security service supports the deal and long has.
English
Fascinating insight into the Chagos deal. I think it gives what is (or could be) an honest explanation of how the government ended up here (ie in a mess). The problem for Judah & the government: only a fool could honestly believe in such an explanation. 1/

@Gabriel_Pogrund This is excellent, but the article today thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar… What's this in the video clip where you say Starmer extracted an apology? He got Trump to apologise for the NATO troop slur? For some reason it's not in the podcast.

🔥 How FCDO feared White House could do deal with Mauritius, humiliating Britain
🔥 McSweeney cut out of talks, had such a “wobble” he asked PM to rethink
🔥 PM’s staff warned Powell deal would hand power to Reform
🔥 How Farage is using friends in Trump land to kill the deal
🔥 Declassified info says islands critical to US strategy of being able to operate military anywhere in the world
🔥 Trump post part of wider “recalibration” of admin stance

This isn’t just a San Francisco thing. There are people in a range of professions who’ve found absolutely breakthrough uses of current capabilities, like using agentic swarms to do real work in crazy ways (but they are often more isolated because of a lack of unifying community)
Kevin Roose@kevinroose
i follow AI adoption pretty closely, and i have never seen such a yawning inside/outside gap. people in SF are putting multi-agent claudeswarms in charge of their lives, consulting chatbots before every decision, wireheading to a degree only sci-fi writers dared to imagine. people elsewhere are still trying to get approval to use Copilot in Teams, if they're using AI at all. it's possible the early adopter bubble i'm in has always been this intense, but there seems to be a cultural takeoff happening in addition to the technical one. not ideal!

@mrjeffu Soon after fires started, v sadly. Brought in new disaster preparation policies. Heaters that switch off when toppled, nationwide upgrade of supports for elevated roadways. Also when govt looked more seriously at critical infrastructure protection, particularly communications.

31 years ago, in the early morning hours of January 17, 1995, the Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred. This video includes live footage of a live morning news show studio reacting to the extremely powerful earthquake, which killed over 5,000 people.

@duncanrobinson @patrickkmaguire Perhaps get the geography right in the book? The article has the plane weaving around the east of Scotland. Picky…

@matilda__martin And. Seeing my words reflected back, should be clear - yours is an important piece, well written about an important topic. A shame that’s not how it’s been covered by the more mainstream.
English
@matilda__martin Excellent. But next time exaggerate more, good journalism isn’t necessarily popular :-)

@JohnRentoul 2 reasons?
If Reform form the next govt, Conservative party as we know it is gone; a 2nd Labour term, they can come back.
They know Reform will not be able to govern - who in Reform shadows what, has a clue about government, running ministries? This should worry everyone.
