I spoke to @EvanHD yesterday on the R4 PM programme about Russell Brand, and how I saw how he bullied those around him into silence and complicity. Starts about 10mins in

There is nothing more certain than uncertainty. Where risk management is professional and effective, surprises should be minor irritations. Well, that's the theory.🤔

@alexwickham@krishgm I read it differently.. he does not say we WON'T. I maybe wrong, but I think he is saying "we're not saying we will". Sounds like dancing on the head of a pin, but I tihnk he's really just saying "no timetable", not "no ambition to cut welfare".
While you wait for the budget, have a look at this thread and video.
I can't say I've fact checked it, but it will challenge your thinking about the privatised water industry. Brave of Steve to take this cause on!

It's been 3 years since my original thread and the prevailing narrative is still one of decline. I went through the latest numbers and put together this explainer video and thread to see what the new data shows.

Will be coming up on @BBCRadio4's @BBCPM shortly to talk to @EvanHD about how the @KMbappe story has gone down in China...

Worth saying in fairness to Rachel Reeves, that the OBR projection which Labour inherited was based upon dubious spending projections and a big projected cut in public sector investment.
It is a snag of the OBR system that the independent forecast has to take as given, whatever spending number the government chooses.
@TorstenBell This is really useful Torsten. I hadn't clocked this impressive relative performance. But.. worth noting that the projected UK fiscal consolidation is heavily dependant on current spending plans which are pretty challenging, even without finding 0.5 per cent of GDP for defence
@thinkdefence Very interesting bit of radio yesterday evening - @EvanHD doing Bottom Line ... pitching military vs civil interests, and pointing out the 'future war' is less about the future, and more about, um, now?

Just heard a lovely interview on @BBCRadio4 PM programme with The Pet Shop Boys. Great subject with some new music to commemorate Alan Turin. As ever @EvanHD created a lovely moment with them 👏👏👏
@tomhfh@GBNEWS Hey Tom.. what a promotion. Well done. You'll have a really interesting time. Careful not to get too much of a mid-Atlantic accent, because the Americans prefer native Brit. Like many others here, I hope you'll return
Will be coming up on @BBCPM in the next hour to discuss with @EvanHD perceptions of Trump in China, amid today’s high-stakes China-US summit

As the once in a millennium Bayeux Tapestry exhibition @britishmuseum opens its doors to the public, I wish everyone who visits in the next 10 months the same sense of awe and wonder I felt at seeing it up close with all its clear details and bright colours. Unforgettable
