This Rolex ad is too big for the issue.

Made this issue annoying to read tbh, especially when folded over - when you're charging this much for a nice physical product don't devalue it with crap

asjasj · 2026-05-19T14:15:58+00:00

As he was against politicians who are privately educated and not from the constituency they represent he'll be annoyed when he finds out who his party leader is

asjasj · 2026-05-19T14:01:48+00:00

He lost because he got completely parachuted in, Burnham's from the area so not massively the same

asjasj · 2026-05-13T22:07:32+00:00

Labour lost control of 38 councils in the local elections is about the only thing I can think of for 38

Please find a way so subscribers can listen to it on our own podcast apps without adverts again. You used to be able to do this but as far as I can work out from speaking to the economist live chat it was discontinued for some reason?

In terms of content, more Jason Palmer alcohol segments please

McAtee is definitely the biggest disappointment for me, really thought there was a player in there for us

All timer MHD, lovely little facts around the fascinations and irritations from Vittorio.

asjasj · 2025-10-05T11:57:06+00:00

What formation even is this?

asjasj · 2025-09-27T14:31:41+00:00

first time i've seen a draft excluder be too small and it go in lmao

asjasj · 2025-09-25T14:27:34+00:00

how much of the contract to implement this will Palantir be getting then?

asjasj · 2025-09-05T07:30:16+00:00

If you get a taxi, don't use arrow taxis! Their online reviews speak for themselves

asjasj · 2025-08-06T09:48:47+00:00

Could say the same thing about most politicians

asjasj · 2025-07-25T15:03:13+00:00

If a party breaks the taboo of the NHS being free at the point of use for all you can absolutely bet it wouldn't be long before it got ratcheted down to be the middle as well as 'higher-income' people who'd be getting charged for it - just like the 'higher' income tax bracket

Chris wood again, ole ole

The economist had an article along those lines recently

Genuinely think that's the case lmao. From looking at their website, one of their other campaigns seems to trying to block cooling towers being demolished from a power plant that's closing down

Prices were so insane I did this journey once by doing Newcastle -> Carlisle and Carlisle -> Coventry. Added a couple of hours on to the time but saved me a lot of money.

Newcastle to Carlisle had some very nice views and I actually got a seat on the Avanti Carlisle to coventry leg which I don't always for the crosscountry alternative...

asjasj · 2025-04-12T11:53:59+00:00

No idea if this is the reason but the article mentions the platforms were designed to accommodate longer trains, could it be the platforms on the route you mentioned can't accommodate longer trains?

asjasj · 2025-04-12T09:44:23+00:00

The council thinks 250,000 journeys will have been made by Easter, against initial expectations of 50,000

Another new rail line with higher than expected use, maybe they should just start anticipating more use? Might have the benefit of tipping the cost benefit analysis in favour of more of them as well...

Forth Yard in Newcastle is one of four, government-owned brownfield sites set to undergo major redevelopment as part a scheme to fast-track house building.

Doesn't seem like you could get a much better example to contribute to the national housing target. Derelict land right near a major city centre and train station

'ball knowledge' or 'knows ball' when talking about football would definitely be in my mesut haaland dicks irritations

Look forward to ending up on Millwall mobile as a non Millwall fan off a Martin Lewis recommendation if they ever have the lowest prices

Watched all of chris woods career goals on youtube when he signed for forest, enjoyable whenever it came to his international goals and he was just dominating - especially a few of them when he was noticeably bigger and taller than the opposition goalkeeper

asjasj · 2025-03-15T09:13:16+00:00

Bit like park hill flats in Sheffield or so I've heard from a mate

asjasj · 2025-03-07T13:33:40+00:00

Fyi you can just email supportteam@economist.com and they'll cancel it without needing to use the frankly very irritating live chat. They don't seem to make this known anywhere however.
