Some more good news... 😀

Delighted to see our export client, the Lahaina Grill, in Maui, Hawaii, has just been voted the top restaurant in the USA!

Front pages once again attacking the budget.

Every time I see the 45% reduction attacked, it’s clear that the article is total trash, purely political and not based on economics.

Rishi borrowed £500billion for lockdowns. The 45% reduction costs £2billion. It’s irrelevant.

A really good investigative journalist would look into how the City have been planning to trash the pound for over a month - and have just waiting for an excuse to pounce.

Maybe one for @Gabriel_Pogrund

Interest rates go up to control inflation.

Media: ah but mortgages

Interest rates don’t go up enough to help economy.

Media: ah but inflation.

Media - Fxxx off and let @trussliz run the country. YOU are the problem causing unnecessary panic.

The IMF and Labour claim to care about equality. They should be delighted with this budget. Increased interest rates has led to a fall in asset values of 5-10%. This means that the rich are less rich where those without assets are no worse off.

@TomSwarbrick1 I agree with your caller now. I was speaking with a former boss of Goldmans who told me a month ago the £ would be parity with the dollar. This is a money making game for them. All remainers too!

The IMG are a disgrace. Prolonged low interest rates have been the most significant cause of inequality in decades. They have led to massive growth in asset values, so those with assets got richer, those without did not

The IMF should butt out! They are wrong. Again.

Here are currency movements of sterling and the EUro against the US$ over the last year.

The patterns are very similar for both.

The dollar has been stronger - primarily because the USA does not have an energy crisis as we do in Europe/UK. That's because they frack!

Maybe @faisalislam should make it clear who the head of the IMF is.

It’s Kristalina Georgieva, former VP of the European Commission.⬇️

The attacks of the UK economy are simply an ongoing pushback against Brexit.

I’d actually find it quite funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
RT @faisalislam: 🚨
IMF says in statement “We are closely monitoring recent economic developments in the UK and are engaged with the authorities.” /1

Those who claim that we are effectively subsidising fossil fuel suppliers by bailing out consumers and business should know that renewables would exist with subsidies. They have been bailed out to the tune of billions because they’re unreliable. Fracking is 1/8 the cost of wind.

Is Thatcherism back?

Here's my view on the Budget on @GBNEWS last night with the wonderful @mrmarkdolan .

Why do media always focus on bad news - below is Times stating yesterdays interest rate rises will hurt mortgage owners?

4 million households have mortgages in the UK

Meanwhile there are 36 million savings accounts.

Higher rates help savers.

Let’s focus on the good news.

Liz Truss - the show so far…

1. Reverse tax rises
2. Remove ban on fracking
3. Support business/households through energy crisis
4. Remove City bonus caps
5. Support Ukraine
6. Review Embassy move in Israel to capital, Jerusalem.

So far 6/6

Keep up the great work @trussliz ✅

@IainDale you need a long conversation with @Cmcallister008 He is an expert on fracking.

This has been discussed for years. We cannot keep discussing. We need to do it. If we started in 2013 we’d be energy independent and not have Putin threatening us and Europe!

@IainDale why was the professor concerned about whether it’s the right kind of shale. These are private companies fracking not the tax payer. They wouldn’t do it if they thought it would fail.

@IainDale Much of the lobbying against fracking has been funded by Russia - they wanted us to be dependent on them. See attached from The Guardian - which is likely to be reliable on this!
RT @LanceForman: @jonsopel Perhaps you should read the Guardian more Jon.

@IainDale Fracking is a no brainer. If we had been doing it since 2013 when we first announced it, we would not be in the energy crisis we are in now, which Putin exploits.

People starving/freezing is also a risk! Putin is a risk.

The benefits of fracking are immense.

@TomSwarbrick1 thanks for namecheck. We are growing faster than Germany! Did they Brexit?

@TomSwarbrick1 don’t be a fool! This is nothing to do with brexit. The energy crisis is across Europe! 🙄
