I’m no lawyer but this kinda makes sense to me. Leave ambiguity to the economists.

@rodbishop15 And they extended the Warm Homes Discount Most people don't understand how this works. It goes like this... Step 1. Energy supplier asks the DWP which of its customers are eligible for the WHD Step 2. The supplier calculates the cost of the discount, adds an admin fee and

One of the most decisive, most effective & one of the shortest speeches of all time. & one that perfectly suited the short attention spans and digital clip discourse of the age. Zelensky’s I Am Here 4 years on #voicesofhistory

Could anything be more stupid than the row over BAFTA? Yes, you invite someone with Tourettes to a ceremony featuring a film based on his life and he exhibits the exact behaviour the film is based on and it's the BBC's fault?

No. You moved £90 of that £150 on to general taxation, which isn't a saving at all. You've added £66 of network costs. And gas prices have fallen by more than bills.

.@CPSThinkTank has a big new paper out today on the energy markets. There's all sorts of stuff in there, but the thing that leapt out at me looking at the charts is that Britain has spent the last 20 years perfecting a form of energy austerity. (1/?)

Student uprisings on university campuses all over Iran today. Tear gassed, suppressed and yet still they gather. In light of the tens of thousands murdered recently for protesting, with a clear risk to their lives, this can only be described as an unprecedented display of ultra

Interesting pothole calculations based on the best data I can find. It underlines the basic principle that any engineer knows - maintenance is cheaper than repair. In road spend world, every £1 not spent early costs £4–£5 later in pothole repairs (AIA consensus) So looking at

This is excellent - wonderful pictures by Don McCullin. Well worth visiting! (And as ever, the Roth Bar and the Farmshop are added attractions to any visit..)

Air passengers’ rights rules took effect 21 years ago today – well intended, but the law was dreadfully drafted and interpreted. Since then, the principle beneficiaries have been lawyers/claims-farming companies. Passengers – and airlines – deserve better. https://t.co/r17SYUZjl7

I’ll freely admit I’m biased. Gabriel helped me with my first two books before his career went into the stratosphere. I laughably think of him as a protege even though he long since eclipsed my achievements. In my view he’s the best reporter on Fleet Street. He’s also a lovely

WASPI women never had a case. Language of outrage around decision devalues where real outrage appropriate. MPs in opposition or on backbenches have been cynical in offering support for billions of compensation that was never going to be paid. https://t.co/5JTBlPFXyR

When each Wetherspoon pub is now paying over £1m in taxes, it is clear that businesses (especially in hospitality) are ludicrously overtaxed in the UK. No wonder they are collapsing daily under the weight of tax. They are being #TaxedOut

Well said Sir Rod Stewart.

Almost unbearable to watch, except through tears of pride and sadness. Britain’s best of the best who fell in Afghanistan — very much on the frontline. Donald Trump should be force to watch this. Then go down on his knees and ask for their forgiveness.
