Yep, this is bad. And aso looks like incompetence when the Tories have condemned Reform for doing the exact same thing.

I share Ganesh's irritation with "Good Growth" but I find the rest of this rather facile, honestly. If your solution to the UK's sluggish growth is "Cut pensions, spend it on tax cuts" I do need you to articulate to me why we're not living through Jeremy Hunt's utopia. www.ft.com/content/3b92...

At least Burnham doesn’t pretend to care about growth

Unlike his predecessors, Britain’s prime minister is a fairly honest stagnation-ist

You know, children, there was a time, not so long ago, when serious journalists - even right wing propagandists cosplaying objectivity - would applaud an experienced, even-tempered Foreign Secretary, like Hague or Hammond, being a bit dry, rather than jumping on stuff as if they were Perez Hilton.

I spend my week crossing london on a bike and increasingly that means cycling alongside Wayve/Waymo robotaxis. it’s uncomfortable. they give you so much space, don’t do a close pass while accelerating as lights go red. So unnerving if you cycle on assumption everyone’s mental and wants to kill you.

I don’t know. You can over complicate these things. Much easier to just ask ‘is there a negative output gap?’ If the answer is no, you probably don’t want more expansionary fiscal policy.

Every single person who rides an ostentatiously noisy motorbike can just fuck off. Those who do so in London or any town or city, and especially those who use chainsaw-volume engine revving as a “warning” can then fuck off all over again.

More of this nonsense in the "British expat press". As I've said, these articles are the font of the misinformation that is poisoning Euro-UK relations. Genuine pro-Europeans have to get a handle on this Some points: α. The UK chose Brexit A 🧵

“We want to restore the dream of retiring in Spain and end the heartache of Britons forced into the nightmare of leaving because of the 90-day rule"
“In an ideal world as part of the alleged reset between the UK and the EU, we would see a return of the freedom of movement, but one step at a time.”
New Prime Minister urged to rebuild UK-EU ties and lift restrictions on Britons overseas

It is not historically true. Rebound/Jevons is a brain worm that is based on muddy thinking. Even Jevons himself misunderstood the issue. Steam engines had many advantages over competing technologies. It wasn’t just efficiency.

It's not about the doping control but about the timing of it. Doesn't seem weasely or even that strange to me. You need to be ultra sharp to ride a mountaineous Tour stage, doesn't help if your sleep gets disturbed. It's more weasely to compare Pogacar to Armstrong based on this imo.

It isn't that France haven't turned up. It's that Spain basically rendered them irrelevant. Best performance of the tournament so far, by a distance. Just imposed their game on them. Deschamps also got it wrong, too. They knew two on three in midfield was a risk.
