You could swap her for that parakeet she thought was lost and the only noticeable difference would be the sudden absence of hypocrisy and a huge surge in likeability. dailymail.com/news/article-1…
I'll give you all a tip, as someone who was a dealer in Greek govt debt when they defaulted: It's the 5y part of the curve you need to watch from this point. If 5y yields move higher, above the 2023 highs, the message is that confidence is possibly irretrievably lost. #gilts #uk
Britain continues to come off badly in a second day of worldwide bond sell-off. Yield on 30-year gilts hit 5.89% = higher mortgages. As I write, 10-years are over 5.26%.
Alas the nation’s Bus-Conductor-in-Chief said nothing to calm the markets in his Commons debut yesterday.
He was too busy parking his bus in the 1970s. Such a great decade for dear old Blighty. I’m sure we all can’t wait to get back to it.
Pretty much all foretold in yesterday’s column:

Reminder. Unindexed capital gains tax is a wealth tax. It is already a very bad tax. Making it even higher than it is already is moronic.

This is a proper #saintsfc idiot fan base meltdown tonight 🤣🤣. The best since “Azaz, Jander and Scienza can’t replace Dibling and Fernandes!! 🤪😡” And “we must sack Tonda and all of the footballing staff immediately!!🤪🤬”
I don’t know how these ratings are arrived at, but can I just point out that the @TotalSaintsPod somehow failed to notice Finn Azaz’s extraordinarily good performance at the weekend. Barely said his name. The standout player (with Larin) in a 5-1 win. #saintsfc
Here's the Team Of The Round for this past weekend in the Championship from @FotMob. Who's not there who should be?
#EFLChampionship
We’ve moved Quarshie out, and sold THB, so getting 29yo Schlotterbeck who looks decent, and now possibly a young prospect in Abbott on loan looks like reasonable replacements doesn’t it? What’s the meltdown for? Of course a 25yo accomplished player would be better... #saintsfc
Finn Azaz was absolutely sensational yesterday. He really is the difference maker between a good side and an excellent side at the moment. Three man of the match contenders yesterday (plus Schlotterbeck I’d say), but he’s the clear winner. #saintsfc @TotalSaintsPod
Just listened to 2 AI bear case podcasts in a row. @MebFaber, and Josh and @michaelbatnick on the Compound. Both had compelling parts. And now the market is high enough to be concerned about the stocks too. Have that feeling that a 15+% very sharp Nasdaq drop is incoming.
It's like a recurring nightmare, just with a different club badge each time #saintsfc #lcfc. Next it will be "need to be braver" and "we can't give away goals like that it's as simple as that".
🦊#LCFC | Russell Martin has told BBC Leicester Sport that there will be some ‘honest conversations’ after today’s defeat to Burton Albion.
Leicester City are sitting 18th in League One after the first two fixtures.

Now:
Put 12 items in a box and deliver to HMRC
After Making Tax Digital:
Put 3 in a box. Carry to the gate.
3m later retrieve box, put in 3 more items. Leave at gate. 3m later put in 3 more. 3m later, 3 more.
Then start a new box of 12 items and deliver only those to HMRC
Mad.
Can someone give me one compelling explanation why submitting data to HMRC on their portal is “not digital” but adding a new sandwich layer of software between the data and their portal “makes tax digital”. And why we need to do 4 partial updates that go nowhere? Argh @HMRCgovuk
Burnham thinks that 20+ million people voted for Labour in 2024, implies that is his mandate. Scarily wrong. It wasn’t even 10 million. @afneil @BBCPolitics @polcurrency @DPJHodges @Conservatives
“I’m going to rule it out”
Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg in his first major interview as prime minister, Andy Burnham rules out calling an early general election and says “I don't think people want it”

This was a great tell. Thanks to @HalftimeReport, always gives me a good window into where the average investor is in terms of sentiment.
Just watched @HalftimeReport . I love all those panelists. But their collective nonchalant bullishness, blasé joy and a lack of price action to match it is making me want to call the top right here. And why not? @terranovajoe @CNBC @GilmanHill

12/ I have never seen anything like this and the LCJ is not a woman given to temper or hyperbole. This judgment is seismic. The LCJ is saying the AG has fundamentally failed in his role in a way that in my view ought to be a resignation matter. He is a deeply unserious man and the sooner he goes the better.
