The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Motor industry giant Ford says it expects tariffs to cost it about $2bn (£1.5bn) this year, which is more than previously expected, despite building most of its cars in America.

Funny what happens when there's no lefty agitators about to ruin it...

The point is the council are reviewing the decision to remove their housing benefits. Sounds like a case of ineligibility for the type of housing they were in. No thought from the council as to where they were supposed to go. 

It is a disgrace the way people get treated. Seems like rules are rules irrespective of any kind of mitigation. In this case they should not have had to rely on a backlash. If thats what happened.

Hopefully sense has prevailed!

Goose I’ve been constantly proving you wrong from day one.
You’re still waiting/praying for Stagflation, I’m watching my pension grow from when I bought the bottom of the correction. Cha Ching!

Ill stick around to continue to rub your nose in it with every bit of good economic news that comes, so get ready because there will be plenty.


Poor Goose has no idea!

It would help your case if you could actually understand the numbers coming out. I note you completely ignored the real facts about demand.

I’ve lost interest in correcting your posts.

Oh I understand the numbers which is why I’ve been right.

You’re the one with egg on his face.

So why has underlying demand gone backwards if it’s such a strong set of numbers?

[Nutsin]

Fuck that, it would just be a thread of weird videos he finds on Twitter and me having to constantly correct him (which even I’m getting tired of).

So, UK immigration from non EU countries……….. which countries are they coming from?

A goose and Nutsin thread is probably better.

To be fair, they should be praised.  They've single handily destroyed all talk of politics (which is a huge bonus) on this site for everyone else.  I've twice posted about UK politics on here recently, and it's been completely gobbled up with the shit they throw at each other.

Strip out trade inventory & government spending and you have “Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers”. This is underlying demand growth.

Q2 was 1.2%, a step back of 0.7% from Q1.

Like I said, don’t just read the headlines.

Haven’t seen inflation go up?? That’s a lie.

But, but,but!

I swear it’s not good news! I mean when you really try hard you can find a negative in there somewhere.


Lol!

Poor Goose!

Rick Santelli sums it up perfectly.

Hey Goose how about these apples?

You really are a sucker for a headline.
When Q1 retracted it was all about inventory pull forward, now that unwinds it’s suddenly an economic miracle??

as I quoted from Reuters, “grossly distorted” by trade movements.
H1 is a mile behind LY and a mile behind all the expectations back at the start of the year.

US economy rebounds in second quarter - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-eco ... 025-07-30/

WASHINGTON - U.S. economic growth rebounded more than expected in the second quarter, but that grossly overstated the economy's health as subsiding imports accounted for the bulk of the improvement and consumer spending increased moderately.


1.3% over H1 vs 2.8% in 2024.

[goose]

Don’t look now Goose but Breaking News!

again you're incapable of reading past the headline.
strip out the movement of imports and come back to me.
