Our founding essay: Rediscovering British Progress is a case for growth that drives shared progress, rooted in Britain's values and industrial heritage.

It all starts with a postcard from 1870 👇

Starmer just confirmed UK aid cut from 0.5% to 0.3% GNI to fund increased defence spending

This is so bleak - thousands in low income countries will die.

I get (and support) that we need to increase defence spending/capabilities in europe, but surely better ways to fund it 🧵
