Lots of Gov EV announcements in last 24hrs

And lots of dodgy reporting

The best/worst being this gem from @BBCNews

"The average price of a new EV in the UK is nearly double the cost of a typical petrol car at £22,000"

Categorically wrong - here's why:

Progressive Realism will underpin @UKLabour's foreign policy approach.

It takes the world as it is. Not as we wish it to be. It is realist means for progressive ends.

Today I’ve published ‘The Case for Progressive Realism’ in @ForeignAffairs 👇🏿

The most powerful idea in British politics is "the economy".

Parties promise to "grow", "unleash" or "manage" the economy.

It tops lists of voter concerns.

But what if we had no concept of "the economy"?

Until the C20th, we didn't. And its rise has had major consequences...🧵

In this short @E_IR essay, I reflect on the activist origins of Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay’s international thought (and finally use my Gloria Steinem-meets-Kamaladevi anecdote!)

So true also beyond Oxbridge: “Casualisation, as this proliferation of insecure contracts has become known, works as a filter favouring the ‘gentleman academic’ – someone who is rich enough to navigate the instability, poor pay and opaque hiring processes for permanent roles.”

Extraordinary interview where the Secretary of State for education essentially confirms that universities have more than enough money to pay their staff, and that we should look at their accounts to see where the money is going…

We agree👏

Who was it who said the last line of defense for British capitalism is the Labour frontbench?

[Ali Miraj @AliMirajUK]

Spoken to 5 City financiers in past 24 hours who are all Tory voters. All have said they are going to vote Labour at the next election because the Conservatives cannot be trusted with the economy. All beneficiaries of the abolition of the 45p rate. Feels like an inflexion point.
