Neil DrysdaleI love this story about what happened to the Stone of Destiny after it was removed from Westminster Abbey in 1950. The police launched a massive manhunt searching for the prize artefact, but it was kept in the engineering workshop of Tam Smith, who didn’t bat an eyelid when a senior officer visited him. And he was later buried with a fragment of the Stone! #StoneofDestiny #TamSmith #KenLawton https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6328416/aberdeen-gp-grandfather-stone-of-destiny-hidden/

Richard MurphyDanny Kruger is wrong: we got a much more conservative country under the Tories. The inequality in excess deaths proves it. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/01/08/danny-kruger-is-wrong-we-got-a-much-more-conservative-country-under-the-tories-the-inequaltiy-in-excess-deaths-proves-it/. Danny Kruger MP has claimed that the Tories have failed to deliver a more conservative country. He's wrong. They did. He just has not looked at the evidence.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?
I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

If banks create money out of thin air – as we know they do – most savings do not fund investment https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/01/08/if-banks-create-money-out-of-thin-air-as-we-know-they-do-most-savings-do-not-fund-investment/. The UK spends a staggering £70 billion a year subsidising the savings of the wealthy because they think that results in more investment in the economy. In reality, almost none of that money ever funds any investment of any sort. So why is all this subsidy being wasted on economically useless activity?

FunwithphotosBreaking: Rishi Sunak had significant doubts about sending migrants to Rwanda when he was chancellor, papers seen by the BBC suggest. He’s just a puppet and even now is doing what’s he’s told. Rwanda is a Trojan Horse to leave the ECHR. Never trust a Tory!
