FYI, the IMF expects "Brexit Britain" to be the fastest or joint fastest growing major (G7) economy in Europe in both 2026 and 2027, as she was in 2025, but still well behind the US 👇

(And some people would have us align even more closely with the EU... 🤷‍♂️)

The Americans can't quite take this in. Which is fair. Because it is completely nuts.

Latest YouGov/Times/Sky poll:
LAB 24%(-3)
CON 23%(+3)
RefUK 21%(-1)
LDEM 12%(+1)
GRN 11%(nc)
Don’t read too much into this in terms of direction of travel.
Shows the Burnham Bounce post-Labour conference short-lived. No surprise.
Shows the Badenoch Bounce post-Tory conference. Also likely to be short-lived. But Tories will relish overtaking Reform.
Shows Reform still in the doldrums. Not short-lived.
Shows LDs and Greens badly need new leaders/new directions.
Polls in a month’s time will be more indicative of political trends. The conference season will be long forgotten but the Budget will be factored into people’s voting intentions. Plus the Burnham novelty will be wearing off in face of winter adversity.
Until mid-November treat polls carefully (tho this one gives no comfort to the ‘early election’ lobby in the Labour Party).

This, from DfT annual report, shows capital spending on roads, rail and HS2.

Spending on HS2 is, year after year, higher than on the whole of the rest of the rail network, and nearly twice total spending on national highways.

Just think what could have been done instead.

Amazingly @BBCNews is still quoting stats provided by the Gaza Health Ministry.

Any organization in Gaza is Hamas. Therefore, not to be trusted.

This week there have been bumper medical appointments. One NHS and three private. In each case the practitioners have been late. In one case an hour and twenty minutes late. The NHS appt was cancelled on arrival without notice. None of this is acceptable and cause for anxiety.

@Ostrov_A The Jewish contribution to innovation and better lives is remarkable. Israel is part of that.

Gaza is the most lied about war in history. There was no genocide, no famine, no intentional targeting of children. These are modern-day blood libels. We need to expose all the Islamo-left lowlifes who spread these lethal falsehoods, says Brendan O’Neill
