It’s almost impressive that - despite almost 200 years of evidence to the contrary - from ‘visible hand’ of Prussia’s state-led development and List, to Japan’s state-enabled Zaibatsu, & China today, that Britain’s economic liberals think the state can’t assist market actors.

Starmer speech on Hillsborough Law just now one of the most assured I’ve ever seen him give. Close aides say this unprecedented legislation for govt transparency makes the best case for his leadership: wouldn’t have existed had he not driven it through strong Whitehall opposition

Reform "have only managed to get a third of the vote. Given their immense resources, disproportionate media attention and overwhelmingly favourable social media algorithms, they should be embarrassed by this result."
