So now we have it. Rachel Reeves's claim that a third runway at Heathrow Airport would boost economic growth comes from a report commissioned by .... Heathrow Airport. Instead of acting in the national interest, she's channelling corporate lobbyists.

Starmer’s Brexit reset crawls: EU optimism sours as UK clings to red lines, vague plans. Six months, minimal progress; Brussels lowers hopes. Global crises take priority; UK-EU ties stagnate in slow, unambitious talks.

I am a little bored with the 'What About Brexit?' bombardment tbh but you really can't talk about the UK's "deep economic scars" without bloody mentioning it. Unless you're the BBC, apparently. Its negative impact is not an opinion, it's counting.

A leaked government report reveals yet another attack on the right to protest; yet more plans to "monitor and disrupt" protests (as if the spycops scandal never happened); yet another conflation of protest with extremism and terrorism.

In 2023 BBC News reported that Brexit is the reason why the Vauxhall plant may close down costing 1,500 jobs
In 2024, there's little mention of Brexit being the reason why it's closing down. Why?

Hi from Oslo. Nice to meet up with Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Store. Like most incumbents facing tough poll numbers right now. But he is one of the smartest left of centre leaders. If anyone can turn it around he can.
