This is unacceptable. Lord Hermer is blocking minutes of a meeting between him and Mauritius’ chief legal adviser on the Chagos Islands Philippe Sands. Given how contentious the surrender of Chagos Islands is, it is impossible to believe this obstruction is for any reason

En désespoir

IMHO, Shabana Mahmood MP is a good appointment but moving David Lammy might not be wise - he’s genuinely liked and respected by the White House team (unlike some). Not sure the call for Scotland is wise. Replacing a respected team member - seems like a Pat McFadden play.

Saddened to see this is going to go ahead, having hoped Imperial War Museums would refresh not remove the display.

Some thoughts from me on #defence and #security - #innovation and #investment particularly. Thank you, City A.M.. cityam.com/how-the-city-c…

This has so much truth. Ireland has different qualities but the Corporation Tax reform there was clever. UK policy makers seem unable to grasp that basic fact - lowering tax rates intelligently can increase tax raise.

Yookay GDP per Capita growth in the last quarter century has barely been better than crisis-plagued, economic basket case Argentina. It has been lower than the narco state of Mexico. It has been significantly worse than that well known paragon of economic competency and social

Fascinating evening last night hearing Chris Parry deliver a great talk on geopolitics. Vital insight.

With Labour MPs in despair, it must be particularly difficult to know that this is what Starmer chose to prioritise...

Left-wing TikToker, Charlotte Hayes, with over 200k followers calls for people to “kill them all” following Charlie’s murder. We are taking these calls for our deaths very seriously. Her TikTok publicly advertises she runs stall 33 at Petticoat Lane Emporium in Folkestone.

"The West is underestimating the danger of a sudden collapse." I salute the heroism and ingenuity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But they are outmanned and outgunned. With U.S. aid effectively over, the EU and UK need to do much more, much faster, to bolster Ukraine's defenses.

Perkier and kind. Like an ‘anti’ Keir Starmer

Cleomenes and Damaratus…. #Sparta lives.

Show me a conversation about #Chagos which doesn’t mention Chagos and in which one participant is mute ….

What is it about Russians and transponders being switched off?

Exclusive: Chinese spies have been given a licence to operate in parliament after the ­decision to drop charges against two men accused of espionage, the Speaker of the Commons has warned Sir Lindsay Hoyle is weighing up ­whether to carry out a private prosecution against the

The curse of 'blob' indecision. This is the major brake on productivity in the public sector, multiple overlapping civil servics structures diluting authority and making decision making slow, accountability impossible reduced to tawdry compromises between competing agendas.

This is a travesty, a terrible error of judgment! Not to become self sufficient in gas at a time when we know that leadership in A.I. is predicated on leadership in energy/power production is really bad Gov. The zealots in Gov & Civil service would rather see us get poorer & fall

More than “chilling”, profoundly evil. This even suggests the Bill as a precursor towards euthanasia.

This does seem problematic for Keir Starmer’s team.
