“Global inflation remains undefeated.” Honestly they figure this stuff out a little faster if they’d just listen to the Merryn Talks Money pod.
Possible. But very different holiday vibe.
She’s right. There are a lot of people working in labour wards in the NHS who could do with reading this and having a think.
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…

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/…
This podcast interview between @MerrynSW and Helen Thomas of @Market Blondes is fascinating Helen’s forecast of the fate of Sunak is very plausible and her forecast of the direction of economic travel under a probable Labour administration is both frightening and likely
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/…
Finally got round to seeing "Nye" last night: couldn't decided what was more depressing, the quality of the play or the reaction of the audience. I thought about shouting out something out about the case for copayments or the virtues of an insurance-based model, but bit my tongue
@MerrynSW The £323k limit is relatively new - upped from £270k last year. The intestate limit and IHT limits have always differed. It's just coincidence that they're similar at the moment. It might be sensible to align them but when has tax and estate law ever been based on common sense?
@MerrynSW Excellent podcast. Last 10 mins is especially good for curbing one's enthusiasm regarding Bitcoin. Many contributors continue to dismiss the emergent asset class in favour of gold or cash. If / when they all start to flip, it might be a useful future top indicator.
@John_Stepek @MerrynSW @MarketBlondes What a great voice. Knows her onions too. Excellent guest
