Beyond surreal. The message to Moscow is that European defense is not a priority.
Can’t decide who this is worse for, the EU or the UK. But the real looser, of course, is European defence. So all of us.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests

I'm near speechless at this framing of overall immigration falling by, like, 60%
Asylum seekers now make up nearly half of net migration to the UK and the number housed in hotels has increased despite Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to end their use ⬇️
Asylum seekers account for almost half of net migration
New statistics showed a fall in net migration as British citizens and non-EU migrants left the UK, but the number of asylum seekers in hotels has grown

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

As political scandals go, a grubby backroom deal to, errrr, lift 450,000 children out of poverty is at least a novel one.

Looks like enough to broadly placate markets and lots of small things to please Labour backbenchers happy.
A safety first budget in terms of shoring up the government’s position.
But against a background of sluggish growth and a tough outlook for living standards.

A thing I got completely wrong is I thought Tony Blair's "the reason for defeat is nearly always because progressives don't 'own the future" was just him going 'let's have a hopey-changey bit for the base', but this government has made me realise it is 100 per cent true.
I hate the ‘more money in your pocket’. It’s so outdated and sounds like we’re still in 1987 with pay packets from the factory!
