Growing the economy and providing jobs outside the South East with wages significantly above the national average.
Apart from a culture war there is absolutely no benefit in Reform or the Tories attacking net zero. And by the election, the net zero war will have been won!

A medieval port, once grander than London, was slowly devoured by the sea. Its ruins are gone, but the echoes of its past still linger.
The English city that slipped into the sea
Once a thriving medieval port, Dunwich now lies beneath the waves – its lost streets haunting the deep

The most important thread you'll read today. In brief: Europe has the power to save Ukraine and slip into the leadership position America has vacated. It must grasp it. And Europeans must pressure their governments to do so.
Ok folks, deep breaths.
There is very real reason to worry about the dynamic emerging between Washington and Moscow when it comes to Ukraine. But there is also very real reason to believe that Ukraine and Europe can create a better outcome.
(A rather long 🧵, obviously)

Insurrectionist supporter, Vance, lectures European leaders on democracy.
Who the hell do these people think they are? They supported a violent coup to overthrow a democratic election in their own country, pardoned the guilty and now lecture us?
Unbefuckinglievable. And yet also, tragically, not.

JD Vance, vice president of a regime currently overthrowing its own democracy, lectures Europe on the "retreat" from "some of its most fundamental values".
He cites the Romanian Constitutional Court annulling its recent presidential election.
He doesn't mention this was because Russia interfered.

NEW: Starmer comes out strongly in defence of Jess Philipps and against Elon Musk who he suggests is "far right".

He says those who are spreading "misinformation" and "lies" about Phillips and child sexual abuse "are not interested in victims, they are interested in themselves."

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.
