This is gonna be like a missing tooth all day. 'What is the point of this question and the underlying policy logic' is not a hard question to answer, and the minister of state *should be able to reach it from first principles* and *from being across the policy area*.

They’d have to choose between EU integration and a hard border at the very least

This is also sad because the crank left is mostly in Your Party. He doesn’t need these people!

I thought this was referring to the Yorkshire Party not Your Party which tells you how well they’re sticking in the imagination

I think it's worth acknowledging that even if the war ends tomorrow, which I frankly highly doubt, there's already been notable damage to the world economy.

I think this is definitely true and present in the politics of a lot of countries

McSweeney going may have improved things ever so slightly

Me when describing a piece of analysis for work that’s still three hours from completion

sorry to be an old-fashioned scold but there is something deeply pathetic about being an adult and shoplifting just because you kinda feel like the rules don't apply to you

If the oligarchs were in charge things would be much better 🫠 (don’t mistake me for saying that they’d be good)

Least surprising thing ever. Not least because neither are in a fit state to deploy

I’ve come around to the idea that Things Aren’t Quite As Bad As They Seem But They Are Pretty Dreadful

It’s funny because a version of this was a key plank of the Osbornomics offer in the UK

The UK's current fiscal setup both artificially restricts the supply of jobs at the lower end of the labour market, thereby harming the young, those with caring responsibilities, the long-term unemployed – while penalising aspiration and progression at the top end.

Though this part definitely does not apply

My strongest-held opinion on football is that refereeing at corners is a nightmare with very little consistency at the moment

four Barron's headlines about "stocks with upside", accompanied by live prices showing price falls

Days like this I enjoy Barron's having a live price next to each booster article

More dramatically I don’t think Spurs have been massively better than domestically in the CL but there’s such a huge divergence in results

None of this will be good but it'll be bad in the normal ways rather than the current "threat to the foundations of global capitalism"

Harris had a whole bunch lol

You do not get Liberals trying to revive the party's venerable position pre-1918 of denying women the vote

Non-racist rural residents vote Lib Dem 🙂 or SNP/Plaid

Hate how nobody lists even a salary range. Just wastes everyone’s time and increases the likelihood you’ll get badly-suited candidates

There is a lot of chat about whether this will be "as bad" as 2022. From inflationary pov, unlikely. And CBs shouldn't be too worried about wage-price spirals, despite the endless overshoot. But my worry is that it tips labour markets over - and that risk is bigger than in 2022

I have NOT spent the last week crashing out at how idiotic his latest war is,,,

they defeated woke net zero and doubled down on fossil fuels

I hope you're ready to uh. Fly back via America?

Just one look at those who want to join it is enough to make me a Europhile

Tory MPs genuinely seem to be delusional about their own party

It would be one thing if the approach was working…
