Europe is the frog that's being boiled. The cumulative effect of Russian sub-threshold warfare is an erosion of the public's trust in institutions, fraying social cohesion in Europe.

The below is an excellent investigation/resource with all (publicly known) instances of interference in one place 👏

Actually, money alone WILL fix the NHS. Specifically, money to recruit/retain a full workforce and money to build/maintain buildings and equipment.

Expecting productivity gains without enough workers and/or adequate capital investment is idiotic.
Yes, money alone won’t fix the NHS.

But without money you don’t have beds, theatres, or staff - and without those, “productivity” collapses.

Calling that inefficiency just shows how spectacularly the Telegraph misunderstands the system.

The funds were spent on a share dealing platforms instead of supporting his business through the pandemic.

He is jailed for 2 years & 4 months and disqualified as a company director for 8yrs.

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

What if there was a consensus on the tax reforms the UK needs?

What if it was backed by policy experts from think tanks across the political spectrum, from the Adam Smith Institute to the Resolution Foundation?

The consensus is real. The question is: will anyone act on it?
