Japan, like the US's other "allies", is now obliged to resort to the stratagems of the colonised. on.ft.com/47JuXQQ

No surprise Vieira has been sacked at Genova. Went to see the game on Wednesday and they were terrible for Serie A. I saw Accrington Stanley a couple of years ago against Torquay and both of them were better.

But fabulous atmosphere at the stadium. Noisy, colourful, young and fun.

This is not a doom loop. It is how you move the Overton window. Seems like, on tax at least, and despite the frequent complaints in this place, Labour’s comms are getting it right.

German economists come to the same conclusion as American political scientists.

Found some tourists taking their photo in here. I mean, if we’re going to keep these around, shouldn’t we maintain them like icons?

Trump sees almost everyone else as a serf. Which is how he makes a complete fool of himself here with an ABC reporter who isn’t.

The FT’s Martin Wolf here is beginning a journey that the UK generally needs to take - especially the two generations of economists who were formed in a country where active industrial policy was verboten.

This passage strikes me as true of judges in general when making law. Certainly in the UK. They dislike confrontation with the executive. Prefer to find a path that’s not black and white. Trump is moving the legal equivalent of the Overton Window and it is going to be effective but not completely so

It’s not really bailing out Europe, is it, when actually what you’re doing is keeping your own factories open.

Kennington, south London. I have two friends who live round there. In both cases, all the signs on the residents’ parking bays nearby have been systematically vandalised.

I’m interested in this observation from @davidallengreen.bsky.social

Not because Team Trump seem legally inept, but because they seem politically inept. We’re used to MAGA having a honed line, however unreal. It’s obvious “courts bad, govt good” won’t fly. So does MAGA have a problem with law?

On the NHS reforms, this is how @stephenkb.bsky.social, concludes this morning's politics newsletter in the FT.

It can't be said often enough, in Labour we've finally got a government that is putting effective action, however difficult, ahead of concerns for short-term political gain.

👏👏👏👏👏
