This is what economic suicide looks like;

Restore Britain will ban foreigners from voting in British elections.

Dreadful, America shouldn’t be allowed near the World Cup ever again.

Participants in our clinical trials have extended digital computer control to physical devices such as assistive robotic arms. Over time, we plan to expand the range of devices controllable via Neuralink.

Durable goods prices rising sharply and at the highest pace in decades outside of the covid supply shock. But Washington keeps repeating that tariffs have no impact on inflation...

I understand that former Bank of England deputy governor Minouche Shafik will be joining Keir Starmer’s 10 Downing St team as his chief economic adviser. This is an important appointment, because it will be seen as significantly increasing the authority and expertise of the economic advice the PM will receive

➡️My opinion on next steps for Israel in Gaza. The Gaza war is at a standstill. Hamas has no incentive to negotiate a hostage deal, in fact it is the opposite right now. At the same time Israel’s diplomatic support is eroding, its allies are losing patience and even American support is tenuous. The risks of continuing the war outweigh the benefits. Reservists and regular soldiers also need a break. Reminder: Hamas is at 100% at fault for everything. Nevertheless, here is my opinion of what Israel should do next: ✅Israel publicly declares a unilateral ceasefire. The IDF ends major military operations in Gaza. ✅The IDF remains in place along all of Gaza’s borders and the internal corridors it created, tightly controlling these areas indefinitely. ✅Flood Gaza with food, water, medicine, tents & other humanitarian items — but literally nothing else. Truly unlimited amounts of aid to collapse food prices and remove the financial benefit of hoarding aid. This will reduce or eliminate Hamas’ ability to profit from aid. ✅Announce and strictly enforce: Not one truck of reconstruction materials, literally not a single item beyond basic humanitarian needs, will enter Gaza. Nothing will be rebuilt, nothing will change, all of Gaza will remain frozen indefinitely, until all hostages are released and Hamas relinquishes power. ✅Military action continues mainly defensively: secure the controlled borders and corridors, conduct targeted raids as needed (like in the West Bank), hit rocket launchers, etc. Continue to actively identify and eliminate tunnels. Erode Hamas in a limited and selective manner to avoid civilian casualties. Hamas will not simply be given freedom of movement. ✅Incrementally expand Israel’s control around the borders to deepen and strengthen the buffer zones. Consider annexation of some area of Gaza if Hamas continues to refuse to release hostages. ✅Facilitate voluntary Gazan emigration, but only voluntary. Affirm that anyone who leaves can return, but only once hostages are freed and Hamas is gone. ✅Announce that Israel stands ready to create a brighter future for Gaza, working with international partners. But only once all hostages are released, Hamas relinquishes power, and Gaza is demilitarized sufficiently so it cannot pose a threat to Israel again. Reversal of any annexation action can be considered if a truly peaceful Gaza emerges. ✅While states recognizing a Palestinian state now is absurd and counterproductive, instead of raging against what appears to be inevitable, Israel should find a way to twist this into its advantage. For example, press those recognizing a state to affirm that with a state in hand, the so-called "right of return" can only be to this state. Creativity is needed.

Most migrants can get Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years. It means they can stay here forever. And claim welfare, social housing and free healthcare. Millions of recent migrants didn’t come to work. Giving them ILR will cost us hundreds of billions. We mustn’t do it.
