I think the chancellor is missing the point of tax cuts.

How were you before the fight? “Terrified.” How was your pre-fight camp? “Didn’t have one—got injured and couldn’t walk ten days before the fight.” What a champion // Tom Aspinall: 'I Have Achieved What I Set Out to Achieve' | UFC 295 youtu.be/69XkuP2jR5w?si=P0nx… via @YouTube

Amen. Incompetent ‘accidental managers’ are a blight // “We’re all held back by the failings of amateur bosses” ⁦@thetimes⁩ thetimes.co.uk/article/d54c9…

No, it really doesn’t depend on the outcome of the match. Decisions are judged on the knowledge available at the time. What did the probabilities say? Disappointed by this foolish commentary // “Did England bat too long?” @BBCSport

⁦@matthewsyed⁩ Not so sure. Doesn’t that require change in human nature? Great leaders project confidence & focus orgs on pts of leverage. Uncertainty is for behind the scenes // The words I’d love to hear from a G7 leader: ‘Honestly, I don’t know’ thetimes.co.uk/article/9d96d…

Very proud. Reminds me of Canada v New Zealand in 1991: come up against a juggernaut and courageously go down swinging.
Fought until the very end. Incredibly proud. Congratulations @englandrugby #RugbyCA #RWC2021
Replying to @mathewparris3
@mathewparris3 I think you’re going on easy on yourself calling this satire! How about ‘silly strawman argument’? Can you please elevate the conversation by talking about the important underlying issues? 1/x ‘Growth at any price fails the fairness test’ thetimes.co.uk/article/78594…?

Here’s a starter list: upside-down demographics; failing gov’t in spite of unsustainable spending; wanton money printing; the productivity paradox; 15 yrs of anaemic growth; rising inequality; living in denial … ‘growth, growth, growth’ is one solution; what’s yours? 2/x
It’s a good article @Dannythefink but the plan doesn’t have to add up (does any politician’s?) to be good policy because it could still constrain the state, incrementally grow the economy and increase revenue (relative to a statically scored budget) w/o 100% paying for itself.

You could reframe it in another way too: supply side tax cuts are an ‘investment’ (a concept politicians have devalued!) in growing the size of the economy relative to the state. Even if the economy and state grow at the same rate you are in effect constraining the state.
#2 in my first 🇬🇧 regional age group Spartan series. Great fun. Sad the champ @ppascoal was already on the way home with stitches but great to share it with @toby.j5. See you guys soon. #spartanraceuk #aroo instagram.com/p/CgIQBqsMvNy/…
While too much of Defence is hollow, spending in haste before we have absorbed the lessons of Ukraine, and analysed how we will defeat the threats of the future, could well result in an expensive lost opportunity. My article in today’s DTel… telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07…
