This turns out to be incorrect. When the APF sells a gilt, BoE gets two tranches of £s: [1] receipts from the gilt sale; [2] the difference between and the amount APF spent on the gilt, this being the indemnity, paid by HMT. [1]+[2] is always the same, so lower gilt price no advantage to Treasury..

Never let a good crisis go to waste. Tomorrow the BoE has the perfect out. It can stop active sales of Gilts, because heightened market stress increases its impact, which is undesirable for a policy that should operate in the background (by the Bank’s own reckoning)

So in one week: 1) Reform get stung for dodgy finances, and the regulators play pass the parcel about enforcement 2) Farage announces plans to largely dismantle independent scrutiny of govt, and barely any press discussion of it 3) Masked thugs blockade a port, with narry a word from senior govt

When Amadeus first transferred from London to Broadway in 1980 the Broadway production starred Tim Curry as Mozart and Ian McKellen as Salieri and I would like to go back in time and watch that.

One from the archives: "A video of Nigel Farage shows him saying that as an MEP he could earn as much as a Goldman Sachs banker through claiming expenses and employing his wife" (which he did) When Farage talks about how much he's supposedly sacrificed financially by going into politics...

Nigel Farage claims in video MEPs can earn like a Goldman Sachs banker

In footage from 1999 or 2000, the Ukip leader is heard criticising the MEP expense system as 'wrong' and 'monstrous'
