Mohamed Bakkali, the logistical brain behind the Paris and Bataclan attacks that killed 129 and wounded hundreds more, is allowed penitentiary leave by the Brussels court. If Bakkali continues his “calm and good behaviour” according to the court, he could soon be freed indefinitely.

The Netherlands actually a great example of why Brexit was a mistake and UK growth would have been much higher had me remained. Let me happily explain. The Netherlands has an economy much more like Britain than France of Germany with a strong orientation to services, finance and science rather than manufacturing. It's an incredible economy we should be emulating in fact: with an astonishing trade to GDP ratio of 170%. It's managed to achieve of this inside the EU. Now had we remained in the EU, I am confident, as the research from OBR, NBER and other suggests our growth rate would have tracked more closely to the Netherlands than France or Germany. Both of which have specific problems neither the UK nor the Netherlands share to do with either in France with their labour markets and company formation, or in Germany with overexposure to the China and Russia shock due to a larger manufacturing sector.

I condemn the deadly attack on a mosque in San Diego. My thoughts are with those affected. I know many Muslims in the UK will be shaken by this, worried about their safety when going about their lives and attending mosque, and what it says about the times we’re living in. I understand those fears. Violence like this does not happen in a vacuum. It grows in an environment where division and anti-Muslim hostility are normalised. That is intolerable. We must all come together against it.
