Rachel Reeves: a tale of continuing incompetence https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/10/06/rachel-reeves-a-tale-of-continuing-incompetence/ Reeves continues to zig-zag, just like her boss. Continual misjudgment like this tells us something. It either comes from incompetence, or seriously misplaced thinking, or both. I think it's both.

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?...

@vrsimility new version of the 1675 pic Vrs. Used Moore and Irvine as the basis with guesswork! Thanks ever so as always for your expertise and support. Realise castle a bit gloomy

@vrsimility gathering stuff from the various docs, thought it worth a first shot for discussion, on conjectural architecture and what might have gone on in burgages based on logic of activities.

@edfarrell @vrsimility
You'll have to forgive me, but post 1830 is not my speciality, but looking at this for the first time and the waiting room is a later addition, replacing a much grander building that appears to have been demolished by the LNWR. There are two detailed artworks of Edge Hill by Bury and Tate, showing the buildings we see today in the background, but with buildings in the foreground that are now gone and replaced with the waiting rooms.

Watercolour, research rough. Crown Street Station, Liverpool, early 1830s. Smithtown Lane behind, Crown Street in front. First inter-metropolis passenger railway station in the world. Was the terminus of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway from 1830, prior to Lime Street.

Watercolour reconstruction of Mann Island, 'Nova Scotia' and the Canning docks (Liverpool UK) as it looked in 1890. Almost nothing of this view survives today. #LiverpoolHistory

Study of the swing bridge once located at Mann Island Liverpool as it would have looked in 1890.
