@danielquinn I'd like to think so. But he just got re-elected in Clacton after accepting a £5M 'gift'. A lot of the people who vote for him either don't care or are already aligned with the interest groups making the payments.

We have a shed at the end of our garden, where I like to drink beer with my mates. Just had a great drink-up after a long break. Jack White, the rock god, has made the atmosphere there so much over the years. From Dead Leaves through to Icky Thump, it's electrifying, psychedelic and soulful […]

My view: if that tax treatment is aimed at achieving desired savings for pensioners, we shouldn't take it away by directing their investment [that will be the effect; lowering returns, increasing risk]. If the tax treatment is too generous, increase taxes.

@FT Of course, his commitment to end the war in Ukraine may be honoured. But in the more likely scenario that the US withdraws funding, and the UK and EU need to make up the difference, that adds to the impact of trade tariffs. Of course the Trump administration is also likely to throw bones to […]
