An important sense-check on migration from @financialtimes.com Ignore the convulsing commentators of the Mail & Telegraph. The UK is about average in the OECD and in line with its peer countries when it comes to the proportion of foreign-born people living in the country.

Day 9 of Lois asking Steve Reed to join her at the football. ⚽ Something stinks about Thames Water's sewage plant upgrade costs. How can it be 15x more expensive than building a new one in other countries? Perhaps Environment Secretary Steve Reed can tell her? #LoisvSteve

Where did all that money go? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04... Hundreds of billions were supposedly wiped off the value of stock markets yesterday. I am always asked, "Where did the money go?" when that happens. And the answer is it went nowhere. Instead, that figure is a measure of lost hope.

I found this awesome new Milton Keynes street art today - for local folks, this is just off Lodge Lake, before you get to the stepping stones. No idea who Arkade is, but this is seriously impressive. The attention to detail, wow - even carrying on the pattern up on the top edge of the underpass!
