Brilliant! The Labour government has issued over £630m to schools, hospitals, and other public buildings for measures including heat pumps, solar panels, insulation and double glazing. It is estimated measures like this will save the public sector around £650m a year over the next 12 years. 1/3

'Follow the money' is the only slogan Trump understands It's physically sickening to see him enrich himself and his family by his visit to the Middle East It breaks my heart to think of all the desperate, impoverished people who voted for him

All this while refusing to call out Brexit as one of the main factors for Britains low growth and the rise in immigration after “Brexit got done.” Which allows Farage to evade his responsibility for the situation he now so happily exploits. This all helps only Reform.

The Labour government is today opening applications for 30 hours of funded childcare from September. It will apply to all children over 9 months old and will see the current 15 hours increased to 30 hours a week, saving parents £7500 per child. Almost 500k already took up the 15 hours last year.

When govts stop panicking and announcing policy to “challenge” Nigel effing Farage, we may stand a chance of fixing the mess that Nigel effing Farage helped to make. Until then, we will stay stuck in this populist dead end, loudly blowing our dog whistle at the world and wondering why nothing works.

Douglas Alexander, "Regrettably the data is devastating in terms of the damage that was done by the way Brexit was implemented by our predecessors" Sigh, every version of Brexit is a barrier between the UK and the EU, and therefor devastating 🤦‍♂️

In case you missed it ... it's been almost a decade since anyone in government has talked about the benefits of being in the Single Market or the whole EU. So the UK public has come to the conclusion that Brexit must go based solely on their own lived experience. No politician can avoid that forever

Vote Leave spent millions on Facebook targeting the old, young, animal lovers and others with adverts which were just lies. Most people now know Brexit was a disaster. Time for politicians to acknowledge it.

Setting tariffs is not some presidential power set out in US constitution. Congress has delegated this power to Trump, and Congress can take it back. This ultimately is about Congressional weakness as about Presidential madness. This problem has a constitutional solution, if Congress wants it.

It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

This is a compelling analysis of why Labour will lose in 2029. Starmer, like Wilson, will continue until the contradictions in his economic policy become politically untenable, and the resulting U turn will be seen as a defeat rather than seizing new opportunities open.substack.com/pub/kellnerp...
