The IMF thinks the UK is growing strongly. *And* we are directing that growth to make life more affordable for all. Payments to get down bills and investment in clean energy. 'Cos the last 40 years has shown us that growth does not automatically go to all people and places.

Great to be out in Shepshed canvassing for the excellent Jane Lennie, ahead of the by-election on 15th October. She’ll get stuff done for Shepshed.

After a decade of the triple lock being in place, pensioner income has caught up with that of non-pensioners. I completely support changing the triple lock so it doesn't keep ratcheting ever higher and higher and higher and higher and ....

You were right. We are resetting our approach. We are calling our settler violence in the West Bank. We are calling out ethnic cleansing in Gaza. And we are matching words with actions. Great to hear Ed at conference.

Listening to Miatta's speech this afternoon. I'm proud to be working with the Secretary of State to tackle climate change and secure our energy for the future. We've made incredible progress on clean energy, but we need to go further.

I don’t wake up thinking about how to cut taxes for billionaires. I wake up thinking about how to make life affordable for working people.

What this article fails to mention is that 40% of Universal Credit recipients *are working*. Deindustrialisation means there are lots of low-paid jobs that don’t pay enough to live on. We top up those wages so people can afford a decent life.

This is a really powerful piece by Rishi and one I agree with. Being British is about our intertwined culture, communities that come together, and the values forged in the Second World War that we now hold in common. My longer thoughts are here: renewal.org.uk/blog/a-unite...

Britain can't be bought. Reform UK have accepted over £70 million of donations from crypto billionaires, whilst promising to cut taxes for… you guessed it, crypto billionaires.

📈🎉 Real wages are rising 📈🎉 Pay is growing faster than prices, and faster than last quarter. When workers have more cash, they spend more. And more spending means more growth.

Nigel Farage gets a £5m donation from a crypto billionaire. Then Reform promises to cut tax rates for ... crypto investments. And now two crypto billionaires are giving Reform *£72 million*. That's a lot of crypto coincidences.

AfD's support is highest in Germany's manufacturing heartlands. Same as Reform's support in the UK. Deindustrialisation in 1980's -> fewer good jobs (for non-grads) -> rise of the Far/Radical Right today. That's why we need to create good jobs for all.

Confessions of a Fiscal Credibility Hawk
Somaliland taught me to get the numbers right
000
Dr. Jeevun Sandher MP @jeevunsandher.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Bond rates are rising worldwide as spiking fossil fuel prices -> higher inflation. This is why we're fiscal credibility hawks. Our strategy has two pillars: 1) Getting inflation down directly (through energy bill cuts) 2) Fiscal rule commitment (a credible path for bond traders)

The reason fossil fuels are making us poorer might surprise you… (and this is how we're fixing it).
082
Dr. Jeevun Sandher MP @jeevunsandher.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
The more dependent we are on fossil fuels controlled by foreign dictators, the poorer we will be. Wars abroad lead to higher bills at home. Which then leads to higher inflation and then interest rates. And a burning planet ain't good for business either.

Bond Rates and Debt 101
Why does the bond rate move? And what's it got to do with debt?
150
Dr. Jeevun Sandher MP @jeevunsandher.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
We can’t control U.S. Treasury yields. But we can control our exposure to expensive and volatile gas. That is why we’re investing in clean power *and* lowering inflation directly by cutting bills. Making life more affordable and getting borrowing costs down.
171
Dr. Jeevun Sandher MP @jeevunsandher.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Gilts have risen today - along with bond rates *across advanced economies*. This is primarily for two reasons: 1. Higher inflation expectations, because of higher gas prices from the war in Iran. 2. Rising U.S. Treasury yields, forcing up yields of other nations’ debt.
