  • Lawrence is the exec chairman of AM lagonda, he's going nowhere, they've just announced WEC from 2025 as well.

    I can see Lance going and doing something else though, he hates all the media stuff

  • A technocracy is a type of oligarchy and is compatible with democracy tho

  • Lol, the irony.

    Tankards punching air.

    Edit. Do you have a source though?

  • https://80000hours.org/2023/02/is-the-world-getting-better-or-worse/

    High paying jobs go to highly skilled workers. If you want to earn more, learn more.

    If you live in Germany, I'd say yes. Their home ownership levels are one of the lowest yet they are the richest in Europe and there are plenty of technical jobs that pay extremely well.

    We are at a tipping point again where companies have had too much benefit from the productivity of labour. That balance will shift with more employees taking direct action, the same as it always does.

  • We've yet to run out of jobs, and life is measurably better for the vast majority of people compared to just a hundred years ago.

    There is actually a shortage of labour in major economies

  • You think we should stop innovating so that call centre jobs are protected?

    Weird take.

  • The Tories are the fiasco of churn.

    Imagine taking all the flak for an infrastructure project that wasn't overly popular, and then choosing to take more flak for cancelling the northern part.

    Electoral suicide

  • UK was second among the large euro countries for GDP per capita pre brexit and still is

  • Yes, I work in agtech. There have been no deregulations of imports... Lots of scare stories about beef from Australia, but no one with half a brain thinks they would export beef here when they can get better prices in Asia

    Nope. I support cultured meat and other protein sources.

    The checks will never be implemented as per the TCA, why would they? We didn't need checks before

    I have provided sources on every link... they are either ons or world bank data dyor

    No serious economist think Brexit has gone well. It has been worse for the UK than Covid and Russia's war. I don't where you are getting your economics.

    😂😂 🤡

    Show me some stats that prove your nonsense

  • The internet connected all the stupid people, before they were just the village idiots.

  • No shit, it's called a trend. I think you're just being obtuse or a troll

    Whatever. How about looking at all the stories of when the UK was assumed to be the worst performer in the G7.

    Now it isn't, so all that was wrong.

    I don't expect you to get this, and I'm bored

    Cya

  • I wouldn't describe it as government. Maybe specialisation of skills?

  • Brexit has been disruptive, nothing like covid or war though.

    It's destroyed cruel live export businesses. It's destroyed farmers' business models of having to do stupid farming otherwise they lose 65% of their income.

    I don't give a shit about the tiny minority of companies that export to the EU.

    I care about the impact of agriculture and the marine environment. The common policies are a fucking disaster. Incapable of being reformed.

    The UK agriculture policy is already better, and that's a weak Tory effort. I believe that Labour will implement it more effectively over the next decade.

    Here are the economic facts, the UK has recovered faster than Germany or France since covid and brexit. The brexit effect is fuck all. Since the ONS revised the data, that narrative of the worst G7 performer is dead. If you actually understood the economics, you wouldn't be spouting this bullshit

  • There is lexit. A third of left wing voters votes for it. Labour are about to get into power.

    Only an idiot would expect the Tories to deliver it. It's a long term process. Undoing the environmental damage that the CAP has wrought will take decades.

    The facts are facts, the economic effects are minimal. If you don't change your opinion based on facts, then you're left with beliefs. Good luck with that.

  • Lexiter.

    If everywhere is fucked, nowhere is fucked

    Capiche?

    It's just the degree of fuckedness. UK is not performing badly compared to its peers, ergo brexit is not affecting the UK on a macro scale.

    Edit. The source is the Bloomberg article I linked above

  • Are you really this dense? Plus 50 is expansionary, below contractionary. It's a prediction of economic activity. Can you seriously not see a reason why this data would be factored into investment decisions?

  • He's being done for multiple sexual assaults now, his hedge fund is toast

    In June 2023, the Financial Times published an investigative report on Odey which alleged that he had sexually harassed or assaulted 13 women over the course of 25 years.[5][6] Odey Asset Management announced shortly afterwards that Odey would be leaving the firm.[7] Investors soon started pulling their money from the firm following the report, prompting it to suspend withdrawals.[8] In late June 2023 the company suspended flagship hedge funds, and it was speculated that it might break up.[9]
