At the University of Birmingham, discussing their international strategy. Lots of incisive questions!

@HighwaysSEAST The M25 anti-clock onward slip at J28 is closed this weekend but the physical signage shows it's still open, which is leading to traffic coming off and then going all the way round the roundabout when they realise. That's blocking all the roundabout exits.

Last week, @TheEIU published a free report led by my colleagues and I looking at Asia's exposure to a potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait. We'll also host two webinars to discuss our findings on July 13th.

China's export restrictions might be the kick that the West needs in terms of breaking its reliance on imported Chinese rare earths. See Japan, which diversified its RE imports over the past decade following similar Chinese export restrictions in 2010

@Wimbledon Is it correct that you’ve banned camping chairs from the qualifiers? There’s no seating at the BoE club so that is a huge change. Or is this rules erroneously copied over from the main championship t&c?

We have a long road ahead, but this weekend a friend’s son had to go to the hospital & she was incredulous that the doctors would not even say the word “Covid”. “There are many viruses right now” & avoided naming the one causing concern…. 😬 Thx for analysis @TheEIU_China

Good summary! And also shows the difficulties when you can't be comfortable with ambiguity and your policy process has no feedback and adjustment mechanisms

Honestly, when we sent her in undercover, we never thought it would work this well. As we celebrate/mourn today 100 years since the last Liberal PM, Agent Liz is ensuring that the Conservatives now get their opportunity to have a century out of power…

Blimey. Investors are now better on UK interest rates topping 6 per cent by the first half of next year. You can see the expectations rising literally by the minute…

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Worth repeating. Take all the tax changes coming in over next few years and:

If your income is < £155k, you lose

If your income is > £155k you win

If your income > £1m you gain more than £40,000
