After an eight or nine year hiatus, when the trail went stone cold, I have once again picked up the scent of a lost Glasgow photographer, and his missing archive.

The game is afoot...

Another telling chart from OBR.

Debt interest spending at very elevated levels - over £100bn a year every year going forward, reaching £120bn by 2029-30. Up by over £12bn a year since March forecast.

This is a very big part of the overall fiscal problem.

[Ben Zaranko @BenZaranko]

We've been asked several times how a £40bn tax rise would compare to historic post-election Budgets, so sharing here for info:

A £40bn tax rise in 2028/29 would be ~1.25% of GDP. Bigger than Osborne in 2010 (0.5%) & Brown in 2002 (0.9%), but smaller than Lamont in 1993 (1.4%).

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Why do Rory and Alastair think it’s important to connect politics and the people? A technocratic government could do the work for five years and the electorate could approve or reject via elections. Between elections we don’t need to know. Consuls not the circus.

Over at @ChptIII we’re clearing out our women’s product at 70% off. So much R&D and TLC put into it but unfortunately we simply don’t have enough female customers.

@nurijanian This is just Strunk & White, or any reasonable style guide, plus adding data. It’s good guidance but it’s not original.

From horror show to triumph! This is the moment when pianist Maria Joao Pires realises - as the orchestra starts to play - that she has learned the wrong piece for a concert. With no sheet music to fall back on, she has to keep calm and carry on. She is AMAZING. As is conductor Riccardo Chailly, who shows he’s surely the cheerleader we all want in our corner. Belief and bravery in action! Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor, my Stop the Clock piece @ClassicFM today…
