Succinct, achievable and timely policy suggestion from a brilliant mind!

[David Lawrence @dc_lawrence]

Here are ten things Burnham could do in his first 100 days to boost growth.

🚎 Allow Mayors to approve & fund local transport through TWAOs
⏩ Introduce legislation to fast-track transport projects across the UK, like Mark Carney did in Canada
🏡 Let local communities approve new developments with street votes
🏘️ National policy to enable high-quality residential annexes and granny flats, which are delivering enormous benefits in places like California
🔌 Allow industry (incl data centres) to fund & build their own grid connections (£billions of latent investment)
⚡️ Implement all of the Fingleton nuclear recommendations in legislation
⚖️ Replace stamp duty with a proportional property tax, applied to new purchases
🚉 Use land value capture to self-fund new crossrails in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds & Glasgow
🔋 Move all energy levies onto general taxation to immediately reduce bills, scrap CCS & hydrogen levies
🏨 Quickly implement the draft national policy to enable high-quality dense housing around commuter stations in unaffordable areas

Together, these would deliver immediate fiscal headroom from positive OBR/bond market scoring.

Two years ago, Rory McIlroy called his shot and said Europe was going to win at Bethpage.

Today, they did it.

GOLF IMMORTALITY 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

RORY MCILROY HAS WON THE MASTERS AND COMPLETED THE CAREER GRAND SLAM!!!!

[Yusuf @YusufHTweets]

Craziest Masters final round I’ve had the pleasure to watch myself.

Personally wouldn’t mind a Rose win as he’s had awful luck on this course. Poor Rory will be devastated with letting the grand slam slip again.

“While Turkey has shaped the course of the Syrian conflict, the Syrian conflict has in turn shaped the dynamics of Turkish domestic politics and international relations for more than a decade - a story of mutual reshaping.” My latest for @ChathamHouse https://t.co/n0m1YoSyeB

[Dima Khatib @Dima_Khatib]

If you lived in Syria, you would know this is such an incredible moment. Try to think of Syrians as human beings, instead of geopolitics, just for a second. Imagine how people are feeling as their disappeared loved ones are being found in prisons, alive.

Reminded of Prescott's hilarious appearance on Top Gear. Fearlessly goes up against the live audience to bat for the M4 bus lane.

The shooting of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is the most significant historical event in our modern history.

This is the second….

[Joyce Msuya @JoyceMsuya]

Horrific reports emerging from #Sudan’s Aj Jazirah State.

Entire villages have reportedly been attacked, with civilians killed, detained and displaced on a huge scale.

18 months on, this war only grows more brutal. The parties and those with influence on them must end it now.

[DEI Petty @marcformarc]

I feel bad for Elon. We all should. To be the richest man in the world and still be so clearly hungry for validation and attention from men who were mean to you once is pathetic . Honestly a tragedy so refined it might as well be Greek. 6/6

This @ChathamHouse @XCEPT_Research paper by @Leah_de_Haan @IROAGHEDO & @el_khawaga discusses the Libyan conflict from a transnational perspective. It looks at the connections between Edo State, Nigeria, the movement of people & the Libyan conflict🧵1/8

[Remembering Srebrenica @SrebrenicaUK]

Today is #Srebrenica Memorial Day which marks the 29th anniversary of the Bosnian genocide in which over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in the space of just a few days and dumped in mass graves. To this day, a significant number of the victims' remains are still missing.

🎙️Speaking on @BBCRadio4's The Briefing Room, @MarsdenRosalind says: “14 months into the war, Sudan hasn't received anywhere near as much high-level political attention or international media attention as it deserves given the gravity of the crisis”

British paratroopers land in France to celebrate #DDay - but that doesn’t exempt them from customs checks and border controls 😂.
