One of Sir Keir's favourite lines is that Liz Truss "crashed the economy" -- a reference to the interest rate on 30-year gilts peaking at 5% after Truss's mini-budget. Today, the interest rate on 30-year gilts climbed to 5.453%.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, who led Royal Air Force Command during the decisive 1940 #BattleOfBritain, said: “Had it not been for the magnificent material contributed by the Polish Squadrons and their unsurpassed gallantry, I hesitate to say the outcome of the Battle of

Many of the UK's problems are down to an inability to say 'no', and 'I don't care what you think'. When we rediscover these powerful tools, things will start to improve

Apologies, late to this, what’s the current situation…

Rising yields, falling hunger— The Agricultural Revolution — the transition from hunting and gathering to farming — didn’t end hunger. That’s because more food didn’t mean more per person: it meant more people. The English cleric Thomas Malthus predicted this would continue

Probably one of the most prophetic paragraphs of the twentieth century - from Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985)

I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.

📱School leaders say banning phones has been 'transformational', with a drop in suspension rates, safeguarding concerns and even staff turnover schoolsweek.co.uk/transformation…

Nuclear is better for nature. It uses 3,000x less land than onshore wind, operates 24/7, and produces zero emissions while protecting our countryside. But piles of red tape stand in the way. So, we're using amendments in Parliament to force Labour to get Britain building.

As an ambulant wheelchair user, I can stand and walk short distances but I need the wheelchair to travel & rest. If however you can stand and dance for 2 hours straight at a rock concert, do you really need to take up a place for someone who simply doesn’t have that option?

Good article. I juggled this for 12 years, at a Unitary Council, stopping due to various factors including the Council reducing the number of Councillors, increasing our workload, as did the rise of social media and it simply became untenable to balance with FT job & family.
