@hoffman_noa Not dissimilar to what was tried recently by conservatives (VVD) in NL, and completely backfired, they got outflanked on the right.

Some Tory MPs saying if the Lords try to hold up the emergency legislation the PM should call an election and fight it on Rwanda. They say they'll still lose but less so than if they waited longer...

@benrileysmith Can someone ask the new Foreign Secretary his opinion all this

"... in terms of 'notwithstanding' the conventions relied upon in today’s ruling - that it cannot succumb to judicial intervention. And it needs to come at all possible speed to convince an exhausted and frustrated public that we are deadly serious about this promise.” 2/2

NEW: Tory MP Simon Clarke calls for PM to toughen up new emergency law Tells Tel: “This was a welcome statement from the PM but we are in the last chance saloon here. The emergency legislation being prepared must be so robust, specific and unambiguous - ideally written..." 1/2

@TheseTimesPod @TomMcTague @Carra23 Excellent pod. Also enjoying the salt of the average Unherd reader in the replies here.

🚨 "I'm not sure there could be anything worse than being a Tory" @Carra23 shares his thoughts on the Tory Party with @TomMcTague - and how the people of Liverpool would rather he play for Man United, than vote Tory Listen to full interview below 👇 unherd.com/these-times-wi…

@sundersays Excellent in challenging Greg Hands on Susan Hall.

About to go on BBC politics live

@rolandmcs If anyone has a spare invite, time to get out of here.

@theipaper @SebastianEPayne @ipaperviews It's basically a reasonable wealth tax, excellent policy and long overdue.

It is a distraction from what needs fixing in our education system Labour has already scrapped half of their pledge, now they should scrap the other 🖋️ @SebastianEPayne for @ipaperviews trib.al/4zcIDg0

@GallonHS Surely Deathlord is excellent vs rogue?

Played a bit to get it back with Warrior. Great against zoo, teched to be much more solid vs rogue. If you're struggling against Rogue as warrior, or any matchup really, the title of the deck will help.

Hi @PostNL, UT445277188NL has been sitting somewhere in transit for 2 months today. Any update?

@ShankerASingham @Mij_Europe @edvaizey UK underperformed in past decade+, unique in G7, with flatlined productivity that is now significantly below US, Germany, France etc.

@Mij_Europe @edvaizey Not really. As the Growth Commisson has noted, poor growth in Western Europe, Japan and indeed most of the G7 has been a problem incubating since the early 2000s. The US has been marginally more robust but it is also on a sluggish track.

Incredible from the likes of Hannan and Frost "Britain is now a poor nation" Yes, and they are partly (largely?) responsible for making it poorer

@daringfireball You'd think an Apple advocate would be more perceptive to the privacy nightmare that is Threads.

@gideonrachman @GeorgeWParker It's a repetition of the Rwanda migrant plan argument, which is simultaneously safe and a huge deterrent.

Well if the single market is an illusion, presumably you won’t object to us rejoining it?

@unherd @TomMcTague Not necessarily a fan of Rutte or Merkel, but having been in power for at least 8 years each since that centrist meeting can hardly be described as a failure.

Mark Rutte, like David Cameron, was the future once | @TomMcTague unherd.com/thepost/farewe…

@GoodwinMJ The GE of 2019, in which a minority of 44.4% supported Cons + DUP?

We did Leave the EU ... just. And only because the people, through popular sovereignty, had to do in 2019 what their politicians proved incapable of doing. And that doesn't change my point. Voters in EU simply have much less influence over executive power than they now do in the UK. Only in Brexit Britain did "No" mean No --an answer the EU had until then refused to accept. Ask the Greeks, the French, or the Dutch.

@drunkenoaf @CamCavendish Your maths on Blair is way off. Cameron had a much higher rate.

@CamCavendish Cameron was PM for 2191 days Blair was PM for 3222 days That's a Lord creation rate of 0.1 per day for both Prime Ministers.

Tony Blair put 374 people into the Lords - the most of any PM. Cameron created 245. That’s what Keir Starmer means by “other opportunities”. It’s mad.

@katyballs While undiplomatic, it's not false.

White House diplomacy latest

@JAHeale @katyballs Great, now go ask Sunak. Higher odds he needs a coalition partner.

Keir Starmer refused seven times today to rule out a deal with the Lib Dems but such questions are unlikely to go away any time soon spectator.co.uk/article/starme…

@MattChorley @SebastianEPayne Polite way of saying that the piece is pretty horrendous, an unfortunate fall of Payne since his FT stint.

I think this is pretty compelling by @SebastianEPayne on some of the issues in the civil service. But one missing piece of the jigsaw is just how bad government has been recently. Endless changes of policy and personnel Skills & continuity cut both ways thetimes.co.uk/article/e42102…
