The UK's productivity isn't as bad as economists thought. (The ONS screwed up the data, again.) #EconSky

Why Britain’s productivity problem isn't as bad as we thought
It turns out that the UK’s unique productivity puzzle may not have been so much of a puzzle all along – but does it matter?

France, student children protesting economic injustice, supported by their teachers. Yemen, children play in a school playground fearing being shot by Houthi snipers. Gaza, children are living among rat infested rubble and being denied aid by Israel. Afghanistan, girls denied education.

An insane policy from the Conservatives. Pandering to the climate deniers. Even most of Reform UK's supporters accept climate change is happening. #ToryConference #bbcPM #r4today

Though for the day speaker completely out of their depth. Agents did not "escape". Agents did not "go rogue". Agents persist at completing tasks. They don't apply ethics to methods because they're not intelligent nor self aware. If using an exploit hacking completes a task, it's valid. #r4today

UK can opt out of Euro, the EU would flex on that. But I think Schengen will still be a line for many Britons. Joining the EU is not going to be as straightforward as some people think. The negotiations will stretch well beyond the chances of Labour staying in power long enough.

This is before the UK has even started its usual demands to be treated differently. Those oppose numbers likely would rise if UK were actually in the process of 'negotiating' membership.

It's not about higher income households, the Tories are aiming the policy at UK middle class who are on the cusp of moving into the higher tax brackets, if wages continue to rise as they have in recent years. #bbcWomansHour

Glastonbury should change their model. Charge a small fee (£10/20) to be entered into a raffle for tickets. Raffle winners then pay the ticket price in addition. Rest of raffle money could be given to a charity of Glastonbury's choosing. #r4today #bbcPM

Home prices are falling around the UK. There are places where homes are still affordable and there are places that need to be gentrified, places like Blackpool. The biggest obstacle is this weird resistance to expansion of anything in the UK that has set in. #r4today

We have to stop using "rejoining". We need to be honest with the public from the start. We want to 'join' the EU as it is today. We won't get back any of the benefits we had accrued in our previous membership. We would be applying to join. Membership is the EU's to grant.

Maybe this is why the Russians haven't gone nuclear with Ukraine already. Maybe the plan is to use a bio weapon instead and make it look natural.

America sells the state to the 1%, seats them at the table, and pretends to be a 'democracy'. In China the 1% can get rich, but they cannot finance politics; the 99% are not competing with their billionaires for control of the ballot, the media, or the courts. There's no cost of living crisis.

British economists (and shockingly even tech 'experts') mistakenly think the work has to be done from scratch. Not true. The open source Chinese models ARE frontier models too. The ground work is already done. If they can do it, so can Britain. @andyburnham.bsky.social

The thing I'd point too as the best thing about the 1990s was the work done to allow China to join the WTO at the start of the 21st century. Consumers would not have the low cost products we have without that. #bbcBH

Higher diesel prices is good news for Democrats in the mid terms. So let's fingers crossed that the G7's release of diesel from strategic reserves does very little to lower diesel prices. Prices need to stay high until after the mid-terms.
