I started my new stint as MP for Clacton the way I mean to go on - with a massive lie. I said I was advised not to attend the count by Essex Police, which they then confirmed is bollocks. In fact I just chickened out because I didn't want photos of me next to Count Binface.

☘️ This beautiful sculpture was built by the Irish people to honor the American Choctaw Indian tribe. They were grateful because in 1847 the Choctaw people sent money to Ireland when they learned that Irish people were starving due to the potato famine Co. Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏 PM Keir Starmer

hardly anyone will watch Starmer's appearance at Labour conference today but it was probably the best speech he's ever given he clearly signposted what he stands for - a diverse, tolerant, decent Britain - and how be believes progressives are in an existential fight with the populist right

Worth noting Labour bringing back Sure Start should be getting more headlines. A brilliant Blair-era policy scrapped by successive govts. It gave kids the best start in life, backed by evidence, and its removal hit families hard. Good to see it return. Credit where it’s due.

Starmer never promised miracles – that’s the sort of thing Boris Johnson did. But things are improving slowly but surely.

This book is essential. It's like tearing off a set of blinders. You won't look at economics or politics the same way again.

A very nice write up about my book in L'Express: www.lexpress.fr/idees-et-deb...
lexpress.fr
Le constat choc de Diane Coyle : "Les Occidentaux ont accumulé des dettes dont ils n’ont même pas conscience"
Pour cette économiste britannique de renom, nos outils statistiques, tel que le PIB, sont aujourd’hui si dépassés qu’ils ne parviennent plus à capter la valeur économique réellement créée.

I know this won't suit everyone but I don't remember seeing a list like this happening under the Tories. They may not be prefect but things seem to be getting done.
