In some ways the rest of the world will miss the @snp. They've done us a favour by retesting lots of very very stupid policies.. so we can all be absolutely sure they don't work. Who will do that for us now? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Some thoughts on the latest events in UK public equity markets after another week of bids - most notably for Darktrace & Anglo American. There are many more in the pipeline. A long🧵(1/15),,,,
NO paywall. Listen for free. Why our guest thinks Sunak will be gone in a matter of weeks - and you'll be voting by July. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Meant to say, this mostly arose from a very enjoyable chat yesterday with my very smart Bloomberg colleague @stevehouf who was over from the US office this week. We were joking in a "yes, but actually that could happen" kind of way

At this rate, the idea of a single universal equity market located in the US, catering to global companies, plus private equity for anything more local, is looking like an increasingly plausible outcome
In the context of angst over the state of UK's equity markets, this is interesting from @JavierBlas - the CEO of Paris-listed TotalEnergies echoes Shell boss in considering moving to a US listing where shareholders would appreciate it more bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
I very much enjoyed this chat with @MerrynSW and to hear the warm dulcet disagreeing tones of @John_Stepek in response bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Roll up, roll up, get your UK-listed equities here, while stocks last - oh, there goes another one bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Interesting study on relationship twixt interest rates and house prices, although obviously it doesn't fully answer the question: how does this end up correcting and why hasn't it happened yet?

We're heading for a July 4th UK election, and Rishi Sunak won't be leading the Tories into it - at least, that's the view of @MarketBlondes . Helen Thomas spells out her punchy but highly plausible forecast to @MerrynSW on this week's must-listen podcast. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Nature is healing
With the Greens finally gone perhaps Scotland can finally get building - and exploit one of its greatest resources, its gorgeous and empty coastline.

2022: 1030 higher rate plus taxpayers left Scotland for England (taken £61m in taxes with them) to avoid high Scottish taxes says @thetimes. "Consistent with economic theory." Incentives matter. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
You know the UK undervaluation problem is getting chronic when my colleague @hughes_chris is suggesting that FTSE 250 companies might as well put themselves up for sale bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
When I wrote last week on the need to build thousands more holiday homes/huts in the UK I was told that there is no demand for more in, say, the Outer Hebrides. If so why is there one (admittedly v nice) for sale for £995k on Harris? There's info in prices bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
There are growing calls for central banks to raise their inflation targets to reflect the new economic realities of the post-pandemic world. What would it mean for investors? bloomberg.com/news/newslette… via @John_Stepek

Disagree with any of my beliefs, I don’t care. I’ll happily discuss with you, maybe try to persuade you. But I won’t think you hate me because you don’t believe what I believe. That’s because I don’t think my beliefs are my whole existence. Only religious fanatics think that.
All of @hannahsbee’s piece on birth trauma (in the NS, and now today’s Times) is brilliant. But this little thing stood out to me, because it’s an experience I’ve had in the NHS too — being given bad or contradictory instructions and then being scolded for following them:

Personally speaking, as someone who wrote about MI6 boss pronouns in the Times this week, I’m not furious about it, I’m deeply, contemptuously amused (also not on the Right but never mind about that)

And all you have articulated is your embarrassment when challenged on your own wild accusations in the most polite manner possible.
@lfeatherstone @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 @carolinenokes That's fine with me. But if you accuse a professional broadcaster, evidently treading as delicately as he could, of an "utter lack of understanding or empathy", you should have some solidly assembled arguments prepared to support that. Otherwise it looks like an insult.
