@AndyBurnhamGM Really? And you think now is the right time for all the disruption of a Labour leader election, rather than maintaining a laser focus on the economy…
Not getting enough attention amid the Starmer soap opera: UK economy had strong start to the year: 0.6% growth in Q1. Month on month 0.3% in March alone. The UK economy is developing a habit of strong growth in Q1 then petering out. Look at last year. And 2024.

Extraordinary allegations from @benhabib6 !!
Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson.

@BBCSteveR Now, why would Putin think that cutting the internet in Russia when needed is essential? Or put it another way, what does this tell you about what Putin is doing with the internet to other countries…
He's been rambling incoherently for 50 minutes straight. Right now he's talking about mental institutions and how his mom once told him he could be a great baseball player. He's completely gone.

Listen to Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full.
Canada isn’t trying to appease Trump. They are leading the fight back and saying in public what others only dare say in private.
