Wolves enthusiast. (Very) semi pro economist. Oasis, Lanegan and Ashcroft on the playlist this week.
£73bn paid out in dividends since water privatisation and executive pay up by 20% last year. Leaving us with crumbling infrastructure and rising prices. Perhaps explains why only Chile has a similar approach.

Unfortunately the UK now ranks only slightly higher than the US (20th compared to 24th). Emphasises the size of the task Starmer has.

When countering Farage it’s vital to focus on the lack of credibility in his economics. The mistake Harris made was to criticise Trump’s personality and forgot to highlight the gaping holes in economic policy and how it could impact ordinary ppl. Clear, simple messaging is vital.

There’s a sort of logic to that. But it does suggest a lack of strategic planning and foresight that seems to characterise the work of Hobbs and Shi. GoN far from blameless but issues clearly run deep.

Johnny has something changed in the last few hours that has meant he now stays? Can they just not find a replacement or is there a change of heart at the top? Sad and confusing times and it looks so chaotic. As I enter my 5th decade supporting Wolves am thinking this is reversion to the norm!

Seems we’re still waiting for trickle down to work. Thatcher really did change the landscape.

In the 60s average house prices were 4x average salary. It’s now 9x average salary. Not only does this impact the opportunities afforded to young ppl but it also exacerbates wealth inequality.
