In the Guardian there is an of outline 6 candidate tax increases that Rachel Reeves could take. All of them are very politically difficult, and all of their tax raising potential added together...
... are still less than half the amount of tax take by which Brexit has reduced treasury tax take.

The more comes to light on the Letby case, the more I think the conviction was unsafe. Now it emerges that part of the case against her was that air was injected by her into baby C on the 13th June. Yet an x-ray on the 12th June showed air was already present. Letby was not on duty on the 12th.

Well that's not bad. I was sceptical. But the centre of the high pressure being out by 200km and only a few barometrics is not bad. It was 13 days ago!

As usual, Rawnsley lays out clearly the main points of a key issue for no 10: Trump, Tariffs, Europe.
