A few people have asked for a shorter summary of our piece on the Reform UK "Britannia card" proposal. We've also updated our report with a full copy of the Reform UK paper. Quick thread:

Mark my words, it won’t be long before the reasons for Trump’s attack on Iran - a combination of longstanding concerns about nuclear capacity & Netanyahu’s more immediate manipulation of him - is overwritten by a narrative of him intervening to save Iranian women from oppression.

Richard Holden MP Save yourself the trouble of scapegoating Pakistani immigrants. Cousin marriage is being rejected by British-born generations anyway. You could interpret that as a form of integration. If you weren’t irredeemably racist. bbc.com/news/uk-674229…

Zia Yusuf has published a response to our report on the Reform UK "Britannia card" proposal. It's disappointing: heavy on insults, light on substance, and revealing that Mr Yusuf cites an OBR paper he hasn't read. x.com/ZiaYusufUK/sta…

Tice would currently be a trainee assistant manager in a sandwich shop if he hadn’t inherited money. He’s tweeted that Dan Neidle isn’t a tax expert. Dan Neidle was head of tax at Clifford Chance, one of the largest law firms in the UK.
