"We all know the issues around the Spanish team. It really hurts me, as a coach, as a mother of two daughters, as a wife and as a human being."
"It shows the game has grown so much, but there’s also still a long way to go in women’s football and in society."
"I would like to dedicate this award to the Spanish team. This team deserves to be celebrated and deserves to be listened to. And I’m going to give them, again, a big applause."

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?...
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
Watching the BoE try to use interest rates to solve the current economic problems is like watching an army use field artillery to combat a locust plague — an extremely powerful weapon, but totally inappropriate and ineffective, not to say unnecessarily destructive.
So Huw Pill of the BoE admits that #interestrates policies are a 'powerful' but 'blunt' tool to fight #inflation while warning that high(er) #food prices are likely here to stay for some time.
He went on to say that the BoE cannot mount 'surgical strikes' to help certain sections of society... (that would be unless its the #banking sector I assume?)
Accepting its not was wage rises driving inflation, he's decided that its imported!
Yup, we've moved to the foreigners are to blame narrative!
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.
