Renting in England is being debated by MPs right now🚨 This could be a huge step towards fixing the renting crisis, but positive progress is far from guaranteed... Please follow our live coverage of the Renters (Reform) Bill debate, and comment/RT to spread the word! 🏘️🧵 [1/]
🚨🚨 We @RentersReformCo members will not accept this Renters (Reform) Bill 🚨🚨 As it enters its remaining House of Commons stages this afternoon, we are warning that in its current form the Bill "will be a failure". Read full statement below:
<0.02% of UK GDP 🎉 That’ll show them

Call centres force most employees to act like an algorithm by extensively restricting their discretion. What a lot of CEOs are about to discover is that people will accept such behaviour from other humans far more readily than from something they know is a machine.
The CEO of Tata Consultancy Services thinks we are a year or so away from chatbots being able to analyze a customer’s account history and do most of what a human call center operator does today. He expects the need for humans will be minimal after that. I agree that looks likely

@ianmulheirn No I don’t think so. The idea that a sovereign in charge of its own currency faces a substantial ‘credit risk premium’ is very unlikely in my view. It’s more likely to be downward rigidity in house prices I would think… no forced sellers.
