Nationalising the North Sea wouldnāt solve that problem.
France only nationalised EDF because they already owned +80%
I thought I had wiped that slip from memory, but no, you had to go remind me of it again 
Will the market bounce on the news that Bo Jo has gone?
Bad ideas donāt stop politicians from doing silly things!

Heās not gone though, is he?
Heās given a vague promise to go in the future when they replace him.
Not exactly the certainty markets want.

Indeed, and with no major policy announcements, means things could be more uncertain for the next few months. A good possibility that any gains in the UK markets from today will evaporate fairly quickly.
UN had to delete a tweet of their article that basically said that starvation gives African children a good work ethic

I do feel a little for the person who said that. I can imagine that they stated what the cold hard fact was (that hungry people are the most productive) without considering how awful it sounded in a PR context. Unfortunately, as a Company Secretary with pretty much no knowledge of diplomacy or marketing, Iām exactly the kind of person who occasionally puts my foot in it in that kind of wayā¦

I think itās due to the cynical nature. People are productive for many reasons. But this isnāt a nobody, itās the United nationsā¦
They actually tried to pass it off as satire in twitter, allegedly.
edit: also, a starving person isnt productive, so i cant say i agree that its a cold hard fact 100% of the time @1anrs

āHungryā as opposed to āstarvingā I think, but I generally agree it wasnāt a good statement to make publicly.
Starving people are fairly āunproductiveā forgive the chewy boring video below, it comes from Professor Mr Beast Esq. He tried not to eat for 30 days ā¦ itās not easy.
Weird I never watch popular YouTube stuff, but I did watch that video a couple of days ago

Like with recession, needs more than one point to be meaningful.
This might just be including the increased fuel/food costs as ānew spendingā when energy direct debits went up unexpectedly, and people hadnāt realised food did the dame
