Eoin Clarke has handily put together a list of 100 Green policies and it’s pretty astounding anyone can type all these out and not work out the economic collapse they would bring on

Nice start to the week. Ten great announcements from our Labour Government. This week the focus is on young people, helping them find work/training/apprenticeships. This government cares that our kids have hope and belief of success. 👏👏👏

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)
Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

All fine and technical, but the key point is that there is nothing called "Customs Union" that is simply off the shelf instantly available next-day Amazon delivery, everything will need negotiation with the EU, and their top asks of the UK will be mobility and money.
And here's the latest edition of MFN, in which I try to explain what a customs union is ... again.

An excellent piece from @rachelsylvester.bsky.social
Starmer comes across as deeply odd. A huge sense of detachment between him and the reality of this Labour government.
His quote on the threat of Reform is delusional coming from this deeply racist government.

After describing Rayner as “the best social mobility story this country has ever seen,” Starmer was asked if he missed his former deputy and said:
Yes, of course I do. I was really sad that we lost her.
Pressed as to whether she will be back in the Cabinet, he added: “Yes. She’s hugely talented.”

What you call smug, I say in calling out a charlatan. The people falling for Polanski are creating a cult around him. Same as people did around Corbyn and Johnson and are doing around Farage.
All populism. Do people not learn from the past? Even the recent past? Obviously not.
