More of what we were told never happens has been found to be happening again. Unsurprising, given that the effective implied subsidy for these places is £20,000 a year, while the people handing out these winning lottery tickets are on £30,000.

Britain's economy is fake. Products are determined by regulation, goods are allocated by statutory entitlement, and prices are fudged by caps, subsidies and means testing. Nowhere shows this as obviously as the car business.

I think two new bits of information in that Chancellor speech - first, the message that everyone will be asked to contribute to the effort opens the door to broad-based tax increases. Probably sensible given tax rate for those on average incomes is the lowest in 50 years. The
