Nigel Farage to give speech at $25,000-ticket Trump fundraiser in Florida

When a politician tells you that what you saw is not really what you saw then perhaps you might begin to question what that politician tells you about other things too

It is moments like this that really bring home how unutterably awful it was to allow events* to create a national mood in which Boris Johnson & Liz Truss could become Prime Minister. Imagine they were in the post right now…

Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis.

And all within Starmer's red lines.

Check if you can get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) List of nationalities that that can apply for an ETA now or will be able to apply later.

From 8 January 2025, citizens of 48 countries, including the USA and Japan, will need an ETA to enter the UK for short visits.

From April, EU travellers will be snared by the new scheme too.

Crazy, isn’t it?

Sterling close to its highest value against the Euro since the Brexit referendum. Markets appear to be rewarding the prospect of long term British political stability. Not something you’ve been able to say for a while.

Land barons reap the rewards of new agrarian populism Farmers' protests at the budget's IHT proposals raise many questions

“wealthy billionaires and corporations… hoard land as an asset, Britain now having among the highest concentrations of land ownership in the world.

Half of England is owned by less than 1% of its population.”
