isnt this what you were saying was a problem before? so this is the solution

2020-01-15 12:31:48 UTC  

Yet they include electronic goods whose price always goes down over time

2020-01-15 12:31:56 UTC  

you were saying about tech that goes down in price over the years...

2020-01-15 12:32:12 UTC  

so weights would account for that then?

2020-01-15 12:32:15 UTC  

Nope

2020-01-15 12:32:56 UTC  

I mean I think what they want is to remove as much volatility as they can.... this does seem like a bit of a cheat tho 😛

2020-01-15 12:33:13 UTC  

Oh absolutely, and there might not be a better way of measuring it

2020-01-15 12:33:35 UTC  

so the weights are essentially calibrated every february

2020-01-15 12:34:32 UTC  

Nevertheless, it -always- undereports true rates of inflation felt by the public, and the disparity gets worse the lower down the income scale you go

2020-01-15 12:35:59 UTC  

oh I missed PMQs

2020-01-15 12:37:19 UTC  
2020-01-15 12:38:13 UTC

2020-01-15 12:38:46 UTC

2020-01-15 12:39:45 UTC

2020-01-15 12:40:06 UTC  

Actually, they could quite easily be moved outside of london too

2020-01-15 12:40:44 UTC

2020-01-15 12:40:47 UTC

2020-01-15 12:53:21 UTC  

Why the heck is Boris planning scrap the boundary review reduction of seats from 650 to 600?

2020-01-15 12:53:28 UTC  

Something like that yes

2020-01-15 12:59:39 UTC  

what?

2020-01-15 12:59:45 UTC  

eccles, do you have a source on that

2020-01-15 12:59:56 UTC  

on what?

2020-01-15 13:00:07 UTC  

``[12:53] Eccles: Why the heck is Boris planning scrap the boundary review reduction of seats from 650 to 600?``

2020-01-15 13:00:20 UTC  

Sure

2020-01-15 13:00:40 UTC  

What will be the result of that boundary change

2020-01-15 13:01:14 UTC  

Idea is to ensure each constituency represents roughly the same number of citizens

2020-01-15 13:01:37 UTC  

^

2020-01-15 13:02:04 UTC  

At the moment, London is hopelessly overrepresented by MPs

2020-01-15 13:02:14 UTC  

So the result will probably be fewer Labour MPs
