Iāve been wondering lately whether @epsom_red was at any of the partiesā¦
Was there a porch?
From the article
It was the fastest pace of growth since 1941, although it came after a dramatic 9.4% collapse in 2020 as the pandemic forced parts of the economy to shut
So weāre still 1.9% down overall, and the recovery has slowed. The recovery is a function of removing all Covid restrictions, nothing else. To me anyway.

My admiration for Lavrov continues to grow. It wouldnāt surprise me if all those Russian troll farms were actually his children.
My disdain for Truss stays the same. Rock bottom.

Itās pretty rare in international diplomacy for one party to so deliberately try to make a fool out of the other. Not least because in normal circumstances, the risk of blowback is far higher than the probability of it succeeding. Evidently not a concern this time.

Think of the cheeseā¦ And apples, donāt forget the apples.
If only she played the Alekhine defenceā¦(or knew Russian geography )
Would not surprise me if she comes back with a free trade agreement and war breaks out the next day.
Yeah a trade agreement to supply Russia with some tanksā¦!

Was surprised when I saw this on twitter this morning. Was even more surprised to see a number of people imply that this isnāt out of the ordinary for him.
Never even heard of him!
I recognise his name, but donāt think he is one of the better known MPs. I think a couple of years ago he was talked about because of some texts he sent Corbyn (he isnāt a fan!).
