- thereโ€™s a bizarre lack of public interest in the rescue/nationalisation of Bulb Energy - given that the ยฃ6bn rescue cash could have been spent on public sector pay rises or NHS or defence budget increases etc

The Tom Petty estate and our partners were shocked to find out that Tomโ€™s song โ€œI Wonโ€™t Back Downโ€ was stolen and used without permission or a license to promote Kari Lakeโ€™s failed campaign.

The first order problem Russia has is simply defense industrial output. Even with increased shifts, missile production is very slow relative to use. The second will be when they burn through stockpiles of components, and find access constrained, the third is likely machine tools.

The issue is not just likely stockpiles, but that these instruments take time to have effects. For narrower defense applications they slow down acquisition & make it costly, but wont necessarily deny access. @maria_shagina makes this argument well in: foreignpolicy.com/2022/08/22/rusโ€ฆ

Judging by use rate, the stockpiles of missiles are likely dwindling, but expectations that sanctions might quickly affect Russia's defense industrial production also strike me as unrealistic. Many of the early stories about production line shutdowns did not appear credible.
Dr Maria Shagina@maria_shagina

How was Russia able to launch its biggest aerial attack on Ukraine, if Moscow's stockpiles suppose to be dwindling? Janes: Russia likely stockpiled microchips and other technology necessary to build precision missiles before invading Ukraine in Feb, possibly starting years ago.

The Conservative Government have totally botched up the transition from the old farm payment scheme to the new one, risking putting thousands of small family farms out of business. Today, I urged the DEFRA Secretary to pause the phasing out of BPS and protect British farmers.

if this government was really serious about insulating homes it wouldn't be lifting expenditure on this in *squints at notes* three years' time

Today's Cost of Conservative Chaos Budget is forcing taxpayers to pay the price of repeated Tory mistakes. Services have already reached appalling levels and ordinary people are now having to pay more just to stop them from getting even worse.

yes it's an eye-watering Budget but no point in pretending this is happening in isolation rather than the consequence of pandemic, Ukraine, Brexit in no particular order

what they're basically doing is saying "hello markets behold our fiscal prudence" while leaving the really painful cuts to the next government

- this chart shows the extent to which the fiscal tightening comes *after* the next election - and that thereโ€™s actually a substantial ยฃ9.4bn spending surge next year on health and education
