I think James Blake should make another Hessle 12” again for old times sake

Had a great time recording this podcast with Timbah. In light of the gov's posturing over Putin's attack on Ukraine, we examined The Russia Report and Boris Johnson's leadership. jumpingoffpoints.buzzsprout.com

The latest episode of Jumping Off Points covers the UK's local elections, how voters were influenced in the weeks before and how the results set the scene for the next general election.

- Markets are frantic - Govt u-turning on everything - @theIFS warns its fiscal plans don’t add up - The Bank of England governor is dropping bombs - Jacob Rees-Mogg says the current market chaos has nothing to do with the mini-budget WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON Where to begin? 🧵

inflation for low income households was 11.9%, compared to the average for all households of 11.1%, and 10.5% for high income households. CPI inflation for those in council or housing association homes stood at 12.2%. Inflation is pernicious for all and worst for those with least

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/75e5e3d… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

Bang!!! Lyrical blow to your jaw!!!

Opinion polls often show lots of people personally willing to pay more tax. But they never ask the obvious follow-up question: how much more tax? We did. It wasn't pretty.

I worry that the Left has stopped making the argument for a more expansive state funded by most people paying more tax. Instead we're left with the false claim that Other People will always pay.
