It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

Did you know that a #rainbow makes a full 360 degree circle?
In this photo, an entire rainbow was captured over Cottesloe Beach near Perth by a helicopter.

Alas, poor Paul 🎻
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is.
