Gas prices are down, but the energy price cap has gone up. Why are our energy bills going ever higher? A thread (1/n) 
For context, we had the highest industrial electricity prices and second highest domestic prices in 2024 (source IEA/DESNZ) (2/n)
UK gas prices are are competitive compared to the EU, so the price of gas cannot explain why our electricity prices are so high. But European gas prices are much higher than US & Canada (3/n)

A wild rumor out of China just hit the silver world:
An AP supposedly stood for 400M oz of physical delivery.
Not paper. Not rollovers.
Actual metal. 🥈
Buy the rumor?
Stackers: We don’t sell the news.

If true, that single request equals:
• Entire COMEX “registered” x several times
• A quarter of global annual mine supply
• The total free-float physical market… gone in one bite
And suddenly COMEX goes dark, “technical issue.”
Funny timing, right?

1. She Respects You When You’re Not in the Room
A woman’s true nature isn’t revealed when she’s with you—it’s shown when you’re absent.
If her respect for you vanishes the second she’s around her girlfriends, coworkers, or family, then it was never real.
A high-quality woman doesn’t tear you down for laughs or gossip. She protects your name and your image, not because you asked her to, but because she values you like a king.
When a woman praises your strengths instead of airing your flaws, it’s a rare sign of long-term compatibility.
In private, this respect translates into emotional safety. She doesn’t belittle you when you’re vulnerable.

Only four in ten UK households make a net contribution to the state
The richest households contribute £57k, the ninth decile £17k, and the eighth £11k. The poorest decile receives about £24k

As well as direct benefits and taxes, ONS data allows us to add up “benefits in kind” - GP visits, schooling, bus passes.
The data shows that even middle earning households have gone from being net contributors in the 2000s, to net recipients today

Does this matter? Until recently, the NHS “benefit in kind” amounts received by the richest and poorest working households were broadly similar.
But in the past few years, they have diverged.

Next time Mr Polanski is asked a chldish 'gotcha' style question about debt interest, he should say these things, though not perhaps in this order.
1) Google it (apologies to A. Bandt).
2) Debt issuance by the UK Govt is a choice, not a necessity. It is not to fund deficits...

Currency issuers spend via currency issuance every day. They do not need to issue debt securities at all, from the point of view of paying for their spending.
Treasury securities are issued to provide safe assets to fund managers; to provide benchmark yields for private debt securities; and (in some circumstances) to drain cash from the money market for monetary policy purposes. Not to pay for anything.
@tlalane Saw someone repost your video about that white American who took in a white SA famiy. I guess he should have taken in some of you poor, innocent, sinless, never-do-wrong South Africanniցցers right?
@tlalane An entire thread of this. I'm sure apartheid made them this way. I'm sure they weren't feral animals to begin with for whom apartheid was a kindness.

In the early 19th century, Bombay was just a cluster of fishing islands: no Dalal Street, no South Bombay elite, no high-rises.
But by 1900, it was one of the richest port cities in Asia.
What changed?
Bombay’s initial wealth and power came from one illegal trade:
Opium.
● In the 1850s, opium made up 50% of India’s total exports
● Britain earned more from Indian opium than from Indian cotton for 30 years
● Bombay’s early Crorepatis made their first fortune off a banned substance
History is messier than you think.
This is the forgotten story of how dope money built Mumbai.

By the 1820s, Britain had a problem:
They were obsessed with Chinese tea but didn’t want to pay for it in silver.
Solution?
Sell something China would pay silver for.
They chose opium.
And India—especially the Malwa region—was ground zero for poppy cultivation.

Opium was cultivated across Malwa (today’s Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan), then trafficked to China via Bombay.
British merchants, Indian traders, and Chinese smugglers created a shadow supply chain that pumped millions into Bombay’s banks.
Everyone got high.
Bombay got rich.

1/13 It is SICKENING what Trump is doing to our country AND our reputation with our allies; allies which are disappearing EVERY month Trump is allowed to dirty our name and the name of the Oval Office. He has been enriching himself and we have NO idea

2/13 exactly what he has promised dictators. He shuns our allies and is in BED with at least THREE dictators, treating them as BFF's while DESTROYING our relationship with allies who have been friends of ours for DECADES. How he has treated Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky
3/13 like SHIT ever since he came into office, COMPLETELY disregarding what Russia has done to his country. With our and our allies help, Ukraine was moving Russia BACK, destroying TONS of Russian equipment in the process. THEN Trump came into power and has been treating Zelensky

„ @realDonaldTrump's latest attempt to end this carnage could be seen as a negotiating tactic, intended to wear away at Moscow’s recalcitrance over time.

But most of Trump’s allies in Europe believe this strategy will fail unless the @WhiteHouse accepts two basic things about the war: First, Russia started it. And second, Ukraine and its allies need to force Russia to stop it.

That’s what the Europeans have spent the past three and a half years trying to do, and they’re convinced that they can ultimately succeed.
– »We already had a sustainable plan« – a senior European diplomat involved in implementing it told me.
