Important analysis out today re new productivity data. UK workers still less productive than French ones, but this gap didn't emerge post financial crisis. Hours worked more important than we realised for boosting UK growth. &OBR no longer look optimistic relative to post financial crisis trends.

The triple lock announcement today is essentially a shift to a long-run link to earnings. But with a minimum of inflation or 2.5% in any given year. Most importantly that removes the permanent ratchet above earnings.

Andy Burnham to LP conference. Adequate for you, for pro-Europeans? Three small points: Firstly it looks like he's reaching for language on this, which is possibly a reflection of not being clear in his mind. However... 1
Net migration down more than 80% since the peak of the Boris Johnson era.

Conference, we make these changes but we will always grateful – always, and we thank them – to those whose who have come here and are contributing to our country.

Than you, to them.

But control over immigration was weakened when we lost collaboration with our European partners.

And we are still having to work hard to bring it back.

Later this year, there will be a UK-EU summit where one of the issues on the agenda will be how we best work together on immigration.

And beyond that we will work to secure gains for our industries most harmed by Brexit.

Conference, these are important concrete steps.

But they are not enough.

I say this to you and the country.

We will not give Britain the clear path we need into the rest of the century until we decide on a long-term relationship with what is still our largest market.

I cannot say to you truthfully that where we are is good enough.

Brexit has done more harm
