China is expanding its Navy. Russia remains a threat. The world is becoming more dangerous.
Labour’s response?
🇬🇧 Give away the Chagos Islands
⚓ Pay to lease back Diego Garcia
🚢 Wait until 2028 to decide how many new attack submarines Britain actually needs
Give away the base. Delay the boats. Send taxpayers the bill.
As Claire Bullivant asks: “Who exactly is Labour fighting for?”
Britain needs more ships, more submarines, stronger Armed Forces and more backbone.
British territory is not theirs to give away.

2/ ✅ Both are outperforming all other #emerging & #frontiermarkets this year. ✅ Both are racing towards #MSCI EM status.
✅ ✅ ✅ Both are street-level entrepreneurial, industrialising fast, & riding the global supply chain reset.
I dug into the parallels & why it matters 🧵
Who gains when #Trump imposes tariffs around the world?
Turns out, investors have already picked their favourites: #Vietnam & #Morocco.
Vietnam narrowly escaped a 46% hit now settling at 20%.
#Morocco? One of the few spared & rewarded with just 10%.

As #Morocco prepares to co-host #FIFA2030 World Cup, headlines spotlight mega-stadiums & super-speed trains. But behind the scenes, another kind of infrastructure is rising—one that could have an even greater long-term impact: https://t.co/RPPOgSe9Y7

Right now we are looking at the leadership of the Africa Finance Corporation but the United States will continue our public and private investments in the Lobito Corridor working directly with our partners around the region. - @StateDept Deputy Spokesperson Mignon Houston
If there are no winners in the global #tradewar, there are certainly least losers. #Morocco is one, #Mauritania another. In my latest op-ed for @MaghrebInsiderr I break down consequences for manufacturing, competitiveness and geopolitical realignments.
