1638487212646858752 | @rcolvile @edrennie77 When Starmer voted against similar tax breaks for others he probably forgot about the change in UK law to accommodate his own tax avoidance. A bit like when he forgot to declare his ownership of seven acres of land in Surrey or when he forgot to declare outside earnings. | 8 |
1640966328063229954 | @rcolvile @lukerobertblack Dunno. Probably same reason Boris Johnson isn't fit to be an MP but was somehow mysteriously fit to be PM. | 7 |
1641139151453011968 | @rcolvile Making landlords pay for insane net zero upgrades is not going to help either. | 4 |
1640023242474676225 | @rcolvile I am heavily involved in planning and on many planning forums and groups and have lost count of how many people have given up trying to get planning. Some have waited years for any response, emails are ignored, no-one to help. A planning system beyond broken, it does not work. | 3 |
1641454942941749248 | @rcolvile Australia and the UK in the bottom four for the press. I wonder if, as a Sunday Times columnist, you can tell us what links those two? | 3 |
1640107156404940807 | @rcolvile @whippletom I took a call from an angry reader the year we stopped printing the Oxford bumps charts (those spider diagrams showing college rowing). After explaining they weren’t quite elite sport he gave in but made me promise that if we didn’t print Oxford’s we also wouldn’t do Cambridge’s | 2 |
1638982672788738065 | @rcolvile @Keir_Starmer His 5 missions are meaningless without any level of detail on how he will get them accomplished | 2 |
1640406750095458313 | @rcolvile "We've all experienced the horror of making our way down a press release littered with ChatGPT jokes..." | 2 |
1639033167234359296 | @rcolvile @Keir_Starmer I thought the non doms were going to pay for everything | 2 |
1639205677720649728 | @rcolvile I didn't say they were nice and fluffy! I said making international deals are an example of the "competent Sunak" approach underpinning Track A. While nothing any of them are doing comes close to our Bill I have often criticised the EU approach to migration. | 2 |

1641164344766464000 | @rcolvile Nobody is arguing for rent controls in the absence of more supply. We need both. | 75 |

1640990256580161537 | @EmmaKennedy @rcolvile @lukerobertblack In one. | 24 |
1640618349028581376 | @rcolvile I honestly can’t understand the problem. If Twitter acts as a showcase for professional work, then why should it be free? ‘But it was before’ is not an answer as it was slowly but surely going bankrupt. The owner wants to make it profitable - the sine qua non of owning a business | 19 |
1641697928942338048 | @rcolvile But how many nurses would that pay for? That is the only relevant comparator when talking about public sector pay. | 17 |
