Chief economist at Absolute Strategy Research in London. But all of the nonsense I spout on here is mine and mine alone. RTs are not endorsements unless they are.
Initially thought that this was a post about Man Utd.
I've said it before and I will say it again: it is the clearest example of 'they have no plan and don't really know what they are doing' that this government has *both* gone (correctly) 'Sadiq, the fare freeze is bad policy and has to end' and also gone 'fare freeze for national rail? Sounds good'.
In fairness, she does at least try to explain what the benefits to passengers are of doing all this.
Although the examples are not great. The fares freeze has been in the gift of government throughout franchising.

I wonder what their reasoning is for this change? Because the economy has been slowing quite drastically recently with nothing obvious that I can see that will turn things around.

Am reminded of a gruesome passage in Gulliver's Travels in which a doctor attempts to cure a dog of colic by inflating the animal with bellows, applied to its backside.
And when the dog dies, he tries again.

I’m guessing the important context here is that a growing number of people deem it acceptable to be overtly racist?

Could America win the AI race but lose the war?
The US has gone all-in on artificial intelligence. But the idea of an end-of-times battle with China over tomorrow’s key technology is part delusion, part lobbying tool for Silicon Valley
