Brilliant thread by @EdConwaySky again on luxury car makers that appear to be avoiding Russian sanctions. 👇👇👇
🚗UPDATE🚗 - Britain is STILL sending millions of pounds of luxury cars into states neighbouring Russia, according to new data. - There is STILL no especially plausible explanation - Car lobby group the @SMMT STILL insists it's got NOTHING to do with Russian sanctions 🧵
One for you @EdConwaySky
13/ For those reading in Russian (or in Google translate), I encourage you to read Vladimir Potanin's (majority stakeholder in @Norilsk_Nickel and Russia's №5 richest person worth $23.7b) interview in full. Note his response to the last question. interfax.ru/interview/9570…

@EdConwaySky @SMMT On a trip to Georgia last year we were not far outside Tbilisi when we started to see queues of lorries heading to the Russian border 150km away. Video gives a feel for what it was like as we headed back from Kasbegi near the border
my favourite genre of musicology is people coming up with elaborate descriptions of tonal modulations which could also be described as "he stuck his thumb up over the neck of the guitar"
Dude "Drive My Car" is a bonkers piece of music! Paul is just pedaling G over a D7 chord that has F-sharp in the bass some of the time, and never resolving it, and then the V chord is A7#9#5. Hip!
@EdConwaySky Waiting for my father to finish the copy I purchased for his birthday…😉👍
Buy my book while there's still time!
We are the West's last generation before the new Dark Age begins telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
Here’s one for the fiscal nerds: In recent years, as much as one-fifth of all measured public investment was in fact student loans (the loans the government makes and doesn’t expect to get back). The headline numbers overstate how much ‘actual’ investment we’re doing.
@BenZaranko surely this is a good argument for using gross fixed capital formation to measure 'actual' investment because it doesn't include these capital transfers, over PSNI which does?
For my money, the biggest risk here is pace of delivery. The Government is simply rolling out policy for green industry like SAF far too slowly when compared to the Americans or Europeans.
Meanwhile, other countries are throwing incentives at SAF companies. @BackBritishSAF say UK has potential to be a world leader but risks falling behind. Is this another one of those opportunities to build a domestic industry which might go begging? Worth keeping an eye on…
@EdConwaySky Ed - vitally important thanks for writing @MoazzamTMalik @TFletcher
Must read from @EdConwaySky. Number living in extreme poverty globally rising again. The world is fragmenting. Are multilateral orgs "more concerned with climate change than the plight of the poor?" thetimes.co.uk/article/bond-b…
“Once upon a time this country was a bridge between the West and the rest, but not any more,” writes @EdConwaySky in another well informed op-ed on why abolishing DFID was a terrible idea: thetimes.co.uk/article/324b14…
“… depends on doing something we haven’t done enough of in the past few years: exiting our parochial echo chamber” @EdConwaySky “We need to remember that most of the big problems we face are shared. Most of the solutions will have to be shared too”thetimes.co.uk/article/bond-b…
Higher interest rates have lifted developing country debts back to the levels they were at when Gordon Brown and Bono were promising to ‘make poverty history’. Problems and solutions expertly explained by @EdConwaySky @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/324b14…
'The relationship between the rich world and the rest has broken down. It is, according to officials I’ve spoken to on both sides of the divide, at pretty much the lowest ebb since the fall of the Berlin Wall.' By @EdConwaySky (£)thetimes.co.uk/article/bond-b…
“We need to remember that most of the big problems we face are shared. Most of the solutions will have to be shared too.” Great piece by @EdConwaySky thetimes.co.uk/article/bond-b…
Fascinating read in @thetimes by @EdConwaySky - what the developing world is thinking about us (rather than the other way round) thetimes.co.uk/article/324b14…
Much of the trip has focused on sanctions circumvention & human rights. Also a fair bit on biz - I'll come on to later. On the former, some Stans have been used to launder goods to Russia. Ed's thread on Azerbaijan shows how this works. Our graph too. x.com/edconwaysky/st…
NEW Britain's motoring lobby group the @SMMT has insisted that an unprecedented 2,000% increase in car exports to Azerbaijan has NOTHING to with Russia and is explained by the fact that this former Soviet state is a “flourishing market in its own right”. This is rather... odd 🧵
