Energy security is vital for economic growth and prosperity.

Jane Cooper, of RenewableUK, said the deal would "drive down costs for billpayers".

Closer European integration is vital in these uncertain political times.

Self interest over party and national interest. And I say this as someone who generally likes Burnham. This is a terrible decision.

NEW: I tracked all Chinese lithium battery factories announced or built in the past decade 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 China's borders. The truth is, companies like CATL & BYD are so technologically advanced that there's little international competition. European and Asian countries are welcoming them with open arms.

The Fag Ash Fuhrer is a coward.
Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...

We may be weak individually, but collectively we’re stronger than we think and have tools we can leverage- military based, bond markets, overflight rights, Diego Garcia, trade deals, sanctions. Trump is a corrupt, authoritarian leader - we’d have long ago sanctioned his type in other countries.

Find some spine, UK and Europe. Where’s that fabled spirit of resistance? Tell Trump to sod off. Close his golf courses. Take the gloves off. Badenoch kicked out Jenrick before he quit; what are we waiting for with Trump? Do we have to suffer abject humiliation? Enough. Enough already.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Here's the thing, if one firm laid the foundations for a skyscraper, but another firm built that skyscraper then most people would be fair in saying the second firm had gone further than the first. That's the case with a lot of what Labour is doing, building on already hostile policies. 2/

Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

Unpopular opinion: the obsession with whether Nigel Farage is taking Russian money is obscuring us from the far more troubling reality of where he's actually taking money from.

Yes, Russians have used Tether to launder money. So does everyone.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
