Regrettably true
Much-maligned Hull – branded 'Britain's crappest town' in 2003 – has had a turnaround of late, with National Geographic naming the Yorkshire port in its top 25 world cities to visit in 2026. Jack Watson tells us why. dailysceptic.org/2025/11/04/…

Very interesting (and concerning)
The big story today is about a Cabinet minister being dishonest. But there’s another member of the Cabinet whose cavalier approach to the facts may cost Britain an awful lot more - @Ed_Miliband. (See what I did there?) 🧵

Best thing they did was to link the youth and adults teams together. The kids love to watch the big boys play in the same shirt that they wore that morning.
🎙️ "The players sign autographs or get photos with young fans at the end of the game or at half time. That is what creates a community."
@HarryHugoGoat touches on the importance of building a community during our mid-season interview.

A curious irony is that those who join the OTC are far more likely to be employable, develop life long skills and mates and be better off than those who join the yoghurt knitting society.

As a consumer goods expert, Prime is one of the best marketing strategies for market entry I have seen, especially fuelling demand and exclusivity...... However, as a Dad of an 8&10yo they 100pc target kids, the interest level arou…lnkd.in/eXQmz348 lnkd.in/eSdKQbff

I think it is like a fitbit (or similar) once you have one you don't need another! Then people will slowly replace when they eventually break...... lnkd.in/evN5vz_A

This is a really interesting article. The use of tech investment metrics for what is a fairly standard FMCG business will leave a lot of investors out of pocket. lnkd.in/eEFdiyTJ

Based on the number of middle class mid forties Directors who have told be they are at Glastonbury over the weekend, i am pretty sure Waitrose should issue a profit warning in advance….

Just been on @BBCPM talking rates and mortgages. Should we do something to help those being hit by tripling of mortgage rates? We can't.. the whole point of raising rates is to trample demand. It isn't nice at all - but that's how monetary policy is supposed to work.

Absolutely this
Lawson: 'the process of shipping liquefied natural gas (LNG) from, say, the US or Qatar, would be to create many more CO2 emissions than by using our own [North Sea] gas through the existing pipelines.'
'But ... Emissions related to the UK sector of the North Sea go on the British government’s carbon account. But the LNG shipments go on the carbon account of the exporting country.'
And, as a result of a statutory instrument passed in the dying days of the Theresa May administration - the UK committed itself to be net zero carbon by 2050.
The result is that by offshoring manufacturing to China we are achieving great “success” in working towards that target, even though the overall effect is to increase global emissions: not just because of transport costs, but because China, for the benefit of its industrial base, has been expanding its coal-fired capacity, even as we have closed ours.'

Its quite clear that these sort of initiatives will become more commonplace. Well done Mars. lnkd.in/eM8hgTpR

This is the most insane thing i have seen since energy caps…… the more the government meddle in an otherwise extremely competitive market the more they will mess it up. The madness of Sunak capping food prices spectator.co.uk/article/fixi…
