Fascinating by @SebastienAsh, @laurapitel and @KanaInagaki in today's @FinancialTimes, on how VW in Osnabruck may pivot to producing defence components.
My report for @AlexFerry_UK on how UK defence spending can create good industrial jobs is here:

[Alex Ferry Foundation @AlexFerry_UK]

In an era of geopolitical turmoil, the UK’s defence sector is emerging as a vital engine for economic growth. 
Read this new report to see how increased defence spending could revitalise industrial communities and secure high-skilled, well-paid jobs across the UK.

[Tim Page @TimPage1]

How can the UK government create good jobs in industrial communities through its promised increase in defence spending? My new evidence-based report, supported by @AlexFerry_UK, explores this question. @RachelReevesMP @JohnHealey_MP

I would say Marx.

[Branko Milanovic @BrankoMilan]

@tonyannett I would say Hayek.

Great to give a guest lecture on industrial policy and workplace democracy under different models of capitalism at @IIPP_UCL yesterday. As always, the students were the stars, with their penetrating questions and brilliant observations!

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

New Reform candidate Matt Goodwin has claimed that being born and raised in England doesn't make you English.

These Luton workers proudly disagree.

@DSEDunn Sending best wishes to Mark!

Rest in Peace, Billy! A legend of our club who will never be forgotten!

We unveiled the Billy Bonds Stand six years ago today 🥹🏟️

Hard to take this in.

Ricky was much loved by so many in Greater Manchester.

He was the kind of person who would always turn up for people, supporting so many causes.

He made us smile and made us proud.

We will find a way of honouring him properly.

Rest in peace, Champ. 💪🏻

Great to be in Brighton for a flying visit to #TUC2025. Enjoying catching up with so many friends and former colleagues.

Many congratulations, Ann!

"The reality is now we have a government that's very much on our side, is in listening mode and has listened. So we very much welcome the strategy. There's a lot of very, very good things in there, particularly around energy"

"It's fantastic news and a testament to the workforce."

Lovely catch up with my friend and fellow trade unionist, @Kate_Dearden, Labour MP for Halifax, in Westminster yesterday.

Very sad news! I worked with Dougie Rooney when I was a young researcher at the AEU. Lovely guy!

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

Very sad to hear of the passing of Dougie Rooney this morning. A former TUC president, and official for the AEU, Amicus and @unitetheunion who was a key player in the energy industry. Condolences from all at the TUC to his family, friends and former union colleagues.

Thank you, @SKinnock, for sharing your knowledge and expertise as I was producing this report for @CommunityUnion. Your rock-solid support for the steelworkers in your constituency will be appreciated too.

[Stephen Kinnock @SKinnock]

At a difficult moment for our steel industry @CommunityUnion's timely new report sets out a compelling vision for a future where Britain can seize opportunities.

Defence, new infrastructure & offshore wind are driving demand for more steel, which simply must be made here in UK.

[Tim Page @TimPage1]

US tariffs on UK steel are obviously very disappointing, but we must carry on arguing for a positive future for the sector. My blog and the new @CommunityUnion report, 'Steel Reforged', put the strong case for UK steel.
