Not sure who made this but I love it *sound up*

Progressives have to relearn their ability to argue *for* the things they believe in; not just *against* the things they fear. We have to regain our faith that people can handle complexity; that the conscience of the people can be won - through serious and respectful engagement.

This is pure gold. I’m starting to think JD Vance is a worse VP pick than Sarah Palin

Anyhow this review has the ability - if not the guarantee - to be very consequential for allocation, adequacy, and UK pension market structure. It is telling that the government hasn't waited long to kick this off - it suggests to me its thinking (in opposition) is fairly well advanced.

As it’s the final round of #TheOpen in Royal Troon, Scotland today, here’s the incomparable Robin Williams discussing how golf was invented in Scotland. Genius. ⛳️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

the term greybelt is deeply worrying....even scrubland has value as carbon capture and wildlife habitat....we need more homes in appropriate places....we can't keep pushing Nature out....or we bring about our own demise.

@RevRichardColes I was stuck on the same train as you. It taught me that no one normal knows what a “vestibule” is. So I spent the time in Derby pondering if people can leave a place they cannot define.

Supposing Jimmy Anderson's run-up is about 19 yards, and he's bowled 40,002 deliveries in Tests... Well that's 760,038 yards, or 430 miles. Which is, by chance, the distance on foot to walk from the Utilita Bowl to Chester-le-Street via every Test venue in England.

The 4 million votes won by Reform yesterday are only slightly higher than the 3.9 million won by UKIP in 2015. The Tories were able to cannibalise those votes when the question was "Brexit Yes or No". Ironically, "getting Brexit done" has reopened the political space for Farage

My most centrist trait is that I’m all for panic but I do like to panic appropriately, and maybe wait for the detail

Mick Jagger is 80 years old.. let that sink in

Every major pension industry in develop world is hugely overweight its domestic equity market - by an average of 2089%. The UK is 41% underweight its own. Even eliminating the anti-home bias would be constructive. And we wonder why we have an investment & productivity problem

My favourite Liz Truss moment? Not "pork markets" Or even "innovative cheeses" Or "barking dogs can deter drones" Nope - it was when she got lost leaving the room, after launching her own leadership bid. There's 100% a metaphor there...

Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed. It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long. (Location: Bournemouth Beach)

ITV News Economics Editor @ITVJoel breaks down how new Brexit rules will push up fresh fruit and vegetable prices

The Blackburn admin response 🤣🤣

A total £290m and not a single person deported there…

Few know the history of the violent explusion of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948: it is not taught in schools, and instead many- myself included- were taught outright lies about Palestine being an empty desert, "a land without a people for a people without a land." As ideas for a second Nakba are being drawn up right and discussed right now, as you read this post, it is vitally important we remember this terrible history, and Britain’s role in it, and do everything in our power to stop it being repeated, with the full support of our ignorant, bigoted, cowardly and sometimes outrightly Islamophobic leaders.
