Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his decisive election success last night, and to the @GOP overall for what looks set to be a big night of wins across the board!

A very good article that has so much read across to a whole swathe of taxpayer funded programmes, on both sides of the Atlantic.

MRP poll of 6,300

There’s a huge chasm between public perception of politicians, and the very many good people who go into public service. Martin is right.

How would any Labour politician know if Musk or any of the companies he’s involved with have a ‘global investment programme’ underway if they didn’t invite him…

Answer: they don’t. They didn’t invite him because they’re obsessed with ideology and can’t stand anyone who…

Paul Johnson of the IFS tells @TimesRadio that raising employers’ NICs would break Labour’s manifesto

“It seems to me that would be a straightforward breach of a manifesto commitment… it says very clearly we will not raise rates of national insurance.“

Elon Musk’s companies are amongst the most innovative, and capital-investment heavy, in the world. In the last week alone they have demonstrated their huge ambition.

It is utterly baffling that he wasn’t invited to the UK Investment Summit by the Labour government because they…

It is hard to move on from this major @spacex accomplishment. Not to sound hyperbolic, but I believe we got a proof point today that the Starship program is on par with the largest publicly funded engineering feats—like landing humans on the moon or the Manhattan Project.

Pleasure to be at @BorisJohnson book launch earlier this week, catching up with friends and former colleagues.

A good few chapters in now and it doesn’t disappoint! Well worth a read.

And what about all the ‘Old’ Towns, like Burnley, still waiting on confirmation of their ‘Long-Term Plan for Towns’ Funding so they can continue to drive economic growth and regeneration?

Earlier this year I visited Israel, and saw for myself the aftermath of the horrors inflicted on 7th October 2024.

12 months on and more than 100 people taken hostage that day have still not been returned.

Today we remember them, those who won’t ever come home, and those who…

Labour think they can pull the wool over the eyes of the public. In July tell them there’s a £22bn black hole then just a few months later spend £22bn.

There was no black hole. Labour are just (rightly) ashamed of their choices. Whether it’s buying off union donors, spending…

As Chris well knows, CRAG has major limitations because there is no requirement for the government to make time available for Parliament to debate and vote on treaty ratification. Perhaps he’d like to guarantee time for a debate?

There’s a short window during which Parliament…

An appalling decision of geopolitical vandalism which will have major consequences for the UK and our allies for decades to come. And as if it wasn’t bad enough the announcement includes a requirement for the UK to set up and capitalise a new fund, and make an annualised…

Disappointing to see that less than 100 days into this new Labour government, they have managed to hit investment into the UK on top of all their other disastrous decisions.

Today Calastone (a global investment funds network) has released its latest index showing that the UK is…
