Going to the Investing in Ukraine event today in Canary Wharf. I’m hoping to snag a blue and yellow lanyard.

Gosh the strike price for onshore wind in CFD 7a is only £72.24. Quite a lot lower than the c£90 for offshore. We should probably do a lot more onshore.

Also Ed Miliband is getting it done!

Greens are the anti environment party. Pretty much all their voters are much closer to ‘conservationist’ than environmentalist. Which is why they constantly have green leaders campaigning against solar farms and new energy infrastructure like pylons, or insisting we should bury all cables etc.

Starmer could take off the table the possibility of a Reform government by doing electoral reform. He won’t because he believes it’s just Labour can rule us all with 32% of the vote.
itcouldbesaid.substack.com/p/it-could-b... This was meant to be about Labour's alternatives to Starmer but I just wrote & wrote about what a moral disgrace he is that I realised that was the column. Starmer is a bad man doing bad things for bad reasons. Quitting now is the only way to prove me wrong

There’s a certain cadre of left wing persons in this country who look at what’s going on and conclude it’s all Nick Clegg’s fault and everyone else is basically blameless

The authors "estimate that by 2025, the Brexit process had reduced UK GDP per capita by 6 to 8 percent, investment by 12 to 18 percent, employment by 3 to 4 percent, and productivity by 3 to 4 percent. These effects grew gradually over time." www.nber.org/202602/diges...

My Trade Secrets today, in which it's fair to say I go off on one.

The Labour party is famously "a moral crusade or it is nothing". On aid, immigration and trade they're going for the latter option, with betrayals of principle both repugnant and pointless. 1/n

A block containing a collection of the most militaristic cultures ever to walk the earth with 5x the people and 10x the gdp can translate that into a decisive battlefield advantage for Ukraine with the one weird trick of trying a little bit.

Just read Newsom's comments and couldn't be any more angry. The US inflicted this lunatic on us and he has the gall to say Europe looks "pathetic ... at least from an American perspective". It's like a man who willingly lives in a pigsty claiming that someone who trod in dog shit smells bad.

The reason Farage has bailed on public appearances is probably because someone reminded him what happened to Lord Haw Haw the last time something like this happened.
