Rejoin the EU? Not so sure. For a start - it’s not a library. Would take years of diplomacy. We’d have a worse deal: no veto, the euro, freedom of movement. Would the EU emerge ‘unscathed’ in a post-Putin/Trump world anyway? Labour are taking us to a Norway+ style and I’m good with that.

I think it's a fantastic idea. It does 2 things. It encourages enrollment in the military (severely needed) by giving it a go with no long term commitment. It also gives a purpose to kids who have no idea what to do. Giving them new skills, confidence, friendships for life in civilian jobs too.

Tory-run Slough has “lost track” of 500 people living in temporary accommodation, meaning it underestimated its spending by £10m. It blames staff turnover and incompetence, and a new IT system; but while the blunder was spotted in October 2024, officers have only just fessed up to councillors.

London's FTSE 100 climbs as miners, defence outperform in data-heavy week
London's blue-chip FTSE 100 finished higher on Friday, clinching its strongest weekly gain in nearly two months, as mining and defence stocks outmuscled a drag from homebuilders, in a week packed with major economic data locally and in the U.S., plus a rate cut.
