Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa

Longest night of my life. Thank you for everything once again!

Spent the day in Liverpool, and I have to say: I am seriously impressed by that city. I lived there for a year more than a decade ago, but it has changed in all sorts of subtle ways since I was last there.

The university campus is more or less the same, complete with hilariously dishevelled towers like the Roxby Building. But the city centre is now absolutely buzzing. It is immaculately clean and packed with some of the best places in the North to eat and drink. If you like Chinese food, as I do, it is close to perfect.

There is also much more of an artsy-fartsy atmosphere now, but I actually prefer it to places in London like Camden Town or Shoreditch. It feels less self-conscious and more relaxed.

Another thing that really struck me was just how clean everything is. Not just the streets, but the shops and cafés themselves. It is a total contrast to London, which increasingly feels a bit grubby by comparison.

Liverpool is also incredibly pedestrian-friendly. Everything is compact and walkable, so you barely need public transport at all. I genuinely cannot recommend the city highly enough.

Exceptional piece of journalism- I don’t often retweet but this really should be read. Not just insight into AB but truly thoughtful about real politics and the way it works in the world.

Obvious point: an ongoing needs test for social housing would operate much like a very high marginal tax rate, creating a significant disincentive to work.

Leaving Salah out against Brentford would be crazy. He has to start.

[John Stepek @John_Stepek]

Good to see a resolution here. Now, eh, dare I suggest our politicians consider taking a look at the complexity of our tax code and actually doing something about it?

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

This was stupid when the police were asked to investigate Zahawi and Rayner, and it's stupid now.

There's no evidence of dishonesty by Zahawi/Rayner/Polanski. The police should simply say that & not get drawn into these games.

Carelessly paying the wrong tax is not a crime

[James @TypeForVictory]

People anthropomorphise bond markets in a way that's quite funny. Forget the image of shouting traders, it's largely a bunch of quiet nerds with excel sheets pricing in expected inflation, with a bit of leeway for uncertainty.

@RalfLittle Be there for Thursday's show - looking forward to it.

LIVERPOOL - we’re at the Playhouse all week with The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (come along, I think you’ll love it - https://t.co/fHkpu9ljlc for tickets). More importantly though, the cast and I would love to play some football on tour. Last week in Sheffield the fabulous @FCCasablanca answered the call (thanks lads). So… would anyone in Liverpool be interested in/able to get 5 people together for a kick about during the day this Friday 15th May? Very VERY friendly, we’re mixed standard and age range, nothing too serious… just for a laugh and fresh air?

I haven't written about the tax impact of the £5m donation to Farage, because there is no tax. But people keep asking.

Should I write a piece anyway, setting out the reasons in full? Or is it a waste of time?

Liverpool FC have today released images of the new permanent memorial at Anfield which pays tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. The memorial will be stationed on 97 Avenue outside the ground.

I think the failure to instantly & unequivocally condemn a Reform councillor’s previous alleged comment that Nigerians should be melted down to fill in potholes is a watershed moment for Reform, and one they’ll come to long regret.
