Steady as it goes numbers from Conservative manifesto...

Basically a net tax cut of £3bn by end of Parliament (that is £6.5bn extra revenue from corporation tax, minus £2.5bn NICs + others)... funding £3bn in spending - nurses, appointments, skills fund...
On top of that by the last year in Parliament - £8bn a year in borrowed capital investment, biggest item being £3.2bn on R&D, £500m on potholes, 690m on decarbonisation public sector - in total less than half of the £20bn space created by the new Javid fiscal rules
£3bn in new spending
£3.6bn in tax cuts
£7.4bn in tax rises/ extra charges..
£8.1 bn a year in borrowed capital investment ... all per year by 2024, from costings document:

would be equivalent of a not v significant Budget. a fraction of Opposition promises.

Doing this story on #bbcnewssix and #bbcnewsten tonight with more from port/ shipping/ freight industry who are preparing changes for new Irish Sea trade checks from GB-NI, and rather exasperated by repeated denials that they will be needed...
NEW - despite denials on Irish Sea checks, shipping, freight, & ports preparing for them on exit from GB ... including routing freight thru ports with space and inspection facilities - such as Liverpool and Stranraer... and “pop up labs”
#bbcnewssix

Conservatives acknowledge regulatory checks GB-NI, that build on existing checks (eg for animal imports at Larne)
- customs checks they say only apply to goods destined for RoI/EU (but what is at risk of this determined by EU/UK Joint committee)
- Alternative Arrangements help

Comparing the rather heroic Brexit timetables pushed by both main parties for #BBCnewsTen - from marginal Bedford last week. Also 51.8% Leave/ 48.2% Remain, as some of you asked for it...
The comparative Brexit 2020 calendars for Conservative and Labour plans... put on the side of a Bedford flower bed, naturally.

...a bit like an advent calendar but in reverse....
...one of UK foremost experts on Trade Policy, Alan Winters of @UK_TPO says that promising the above timetables in the public only really possible if Conservatives or Labour basically just accept what’s on offer from EU.. otherwise v ambitious to implement, no time to consult etc

Thread - What I can share with you after 5th anniversary?

Enough is discussed about capital,risk,psychology, trade management, discipline,trading systems etc.These are all basics and one should first get them right before moving further..So not going to discuss about it.. 1/26

Dig deeper not wider.This is information age and tonnes of info flowing..it all looks great and bookmark everything but you will never read..Some times all looks garbage and you will miss some gems..3/26

So, this meme in the tweet.
I think I have a thing or two to say about it. So, please bear with me through this thread.
What is it that the so-called RW in India is often accused of? "A false sense of pride in India's past"? I have a feeling this meme fits that description with a slight modification.
Tamil Nadu has plenty to be proud of. In the present, it leads the country in terms of several important HDI indices, employment creation etc. etc. Historically, the architecture of its temples, schools of philosophy, cultural connect with SE Asia and so on.

Not only that EVMs have serial numbers.. each machine is sealed by using Paper seals-Paper seals have serial numbers too & they R recorded plus they are signed by Poling Agents of all parties-present at the time of ‘ Mock Poll ‘.

It’s impossible to Swap machines at any time 🙏🏽

Before EVM is put in to actual use at the polling station,the Presiding Officer Prepares the EVM for voting-at the Polling Stations - in the presence of the candidates or their election agents or their polling agents 😒

The preparations, which are required to be made- I will explain in this thread -
