If Labour are willing to bin their manifesto pledges on tax rises, why not on Brexit? That would win them far, far more votes than raising taxes ever will. Indeed, tax rises are likely to crater their weak support even further. What's so magical about Brexit that it must remain untouchable?

To be part of the largest UK trade delegation ever sent to India was an incredible honour. This is devolution in action. Mayors working with the government to secure the jobs and investment that will put more money in people’s pockets back home.

I've already 34 requests for peer review this year, and it is exhausting. I've done a third of them, but the current system is simply not sustainable. It's insane to keep asking people to work for free while multibillion pound corporations pocket the rewards free labour

This is awful. I know some brilliant hardworking people whose grants were cancelled. The loss of their research puts U.S. lives at risk, hurts our economy, + gives EU & Chinese science & biotech a BIG a leg up on us. We in USA will need to buy foreign drugs & vaccines. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
