Badenoch’s pre-conference announcement was a promise to ditch the Conservative Party’s commitment to net zero

It’s a big move - with potentially bigger consequences

...which is much less than 1% of *total* spending.

Repeat one thousand times: public spending is not about Whitehall bureaucrats. Maybe that bill needs to come down, but proposing it as a route to fiscal responsibility is not serious.. And you may gut the expertise you need to do it properly 2/2

Really excellent @nestauk.bsky.social fringe on Budget choices: with @timleunig.bsky.social @jillongovt.bsky.social @chriscurtis94.bsky.social and @yuanfenyang.bsky.social .

Chris starts with a punchy point: he's a defender of the OBR but the *timing* of its productivity downgrade is terrible

if true, the tariff inclusive deal the EU got starts to look quite a lot better than the UK one unless we can get our 10% + MFN to apply to this too..

This would be a big deal for an important European industry - EU Commission seemingly confident that its trade arrangement with Trump also covers pharmaceuticals with a limit to 15%.

European Commission seems confident:

“The United States intends to promptly ensure that the tariff rate (…) applied to originating goods of the European Union subject to Section 232 actions on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and lumber does not exceed 15%.”
