This is such a great thread from my friend, Ruth. Do read.
This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle!
Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more!
This was done despite fierce opposition.

Motorbike theft is a huge scourge in our area.
Great to hear that our new, strengthened governance will support the police in tackling this crime.

Our voter coalition is fracturing. But we *can* win them back.
Read this 🧵 and article to find out how
1) We've lost half our vote - 20% to Green/Lib Dem, 20% to Don't Know, and 10% to Reform
We need to get *all* these voters back. And we can.

🌊 Good News: The canal has been lowered in Loughborough 🌊
This was agreed at my flooding roundtable and it is brilliant to see this in action so quickly.
Thank you to CRT and the EA for collaborating on this.
However, water levels are still rising – we need to prepare in case floods do come.

I remember, in particular, all those from Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages who have served.
We will never forget their sacrifice and service.

Significant fall in gilt rate this morning.
They fell of today's labour market stats. Markets think it more likely MPC will cut rates at next meeting.
Again, no changes in fiscal policy this morning.

Some of us can afford a decent life, a lot of us can't. We see different worlds through our screens. The places we live in look and feel increasingly different.
Our task is to help unite this nation again.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

The bond rate fell substantially today as 4 MPC members voted to cut.
Nothing to do with fiscal position. All to do with Bank of England.
Reminder: The UK government bond rate = demand for investment + expected inflation + political risk*
*(usually 0, sometimes you get Truss).
