Now do archway road and Holloway Road

Firms can list where they want. So if New York appears more attractive (for eg higher valuations, better economy) to a UK tech firm then that’s where they’ll go.

Yes the media today, including the BBC, are more interested in the soap opera of politics than bothering to analyse policy ideas and outcomes (which is harder work)

Max H @maxxxxx.bsky.social · 13d

I don’t understand it. They should have ministers on the radio / TV / social media everyday repeating this over and over again.

Max H @maxxxxx.bsky.social · 16d

Yeah but you are just a random person on Bluesky

Starmer is a terrible leader and a terrible communicator. Bring on Andy Burnham I say

The idea is not that one producer increases their supply and lowers their prices, but that increased supply in the market results in the market price dropping and finding a new “equilibrium” (E in the diagram)

Economics text books say that a surge in supply would result in lower prices and an increase in the quantity traded. The lower price is what increases demand.

I agree that is very concerning and should be a priority for the government.

But what is also true is that the 90% that do have savings should ALL have a stocks and share ISA as where they can increase the value of their savings year on year

Max H @maxxxxx.bsky.social · Jul 18

Yes, fair enough, many people do not have any savings, which is an important but separate issue. But we are talking here about how people that do have savings use them - and in every case they should invest them rather than leave money sitting in a bank and losing value over time.

All the more reason to invest your savings.

Having more working class people in the cabinet is good, but it’s not a story. If they want a story, then they need to explain how they’re going to get bills and rents down, and incomes up.

You need incentives. More new EVs today means supply (and lower prices) in the 2nd hand market tomorrow

Anyone with savings can and should invest in the stock market. You can do this tax free in an ISA. People who do this benefit from the stock markets going up. No one “controls” the stock market, that is a fundamental misunderstanding of how markets work.

Haringey needs you

The other problem is that they don’t understand how government debt / bond markets work either. And then you get those who think modern monetary theory is the solution to everything. Much like right wing ideologues, they are not willing to acknowledge real world costs and trade offs

Gets to chat? Is that some sort of prize? Macron and Putin had a chat the other day.

That’s just a lie isn’t it. You are perfectly entitled to peacefully protest and support Palestine and that is not going to change.

And one road along is Archway Road/ Junction Road, terrible for cyclists too.

Desperately need north/south cycle routes across North London

Inadequate infrastructure in the UK? Well I never.

Own goal after own goal. Starmer is ludicrously bad at politics.

Have a day off

Can you come to Haringey and get some cycle lanes in here please! Especially in the direction of central London ie via Camden or Islington. Cycling into central is dire

She is appalling. Defensive on every question and completely lacking in substance in her answers
