‼️🇭🇺🇪🇺 Here is a potted timeline thread marking some of the key milestones that built Prime Minister @PM_ViktorOrban illiberal democracy in Hungary over his 16 years in power. His tenure looks likely to end tomorrow. The table stakes for Hungary and Europe could not be higher 1/

I can barely believe this from you. And to think you used to portray yourself as the acceptable face of UKIP, as you figured Nigel Farage was too extreme. Shame on you for this blatant racism.

Thrown out of my west London home by an interior design team and suffering from a mild ear infection, I’m inspired by the incredible true story “The Salt Path” to walk the entirety of the Exmoor coast path

M & S , Sainsbury’s call for EU Deal on food & drink
12 retailers incl.Morrisons, Lidl, Ocado have written to @MarosSefcovic saying that since #Brexit ‘unnecessary red tape’ meant moving food and drink had become ‘significantly more expensive’

Fascinating on how erecting trade barriers can impact investment, based on Brexit experience of UK

[Raoul Ruparel @RaoulRuparel]

Thread on what Brexit might tell us about how US tariffs could impact investment. We saw 2 key impacts:

1)UK FDI into EU went up (but in a very particular way)
2)Business investment in UK flatlined

US hopes a version of 1) will happen. What does Brexit experience suggest?...1/

@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump I wonder what changed

[Peter Foster @pmdfoster]

@British_Airways on a rare BA flight BA712 to Zurich. First no crew. Then after hour, decide we need to de-ice. Like no-one spotted that? Then taxi. Now held because, per captain, the flight plan “wasn’t filed correctly”. Seriously, utterly hopeless.

[Lucy Fisher @LOS_Fisher]

Growth – and damn the consequences?

How far is Rachel Reeves prepared to prioritise the economy over the green agenda, nimbyism and other competing priorities?
