Is that surprising? He can afford to. Nobody in the current or future White House knows who Ed Davey is and has no need to.
Born in Devon, educated in Hampshire, former MP of Portsmouth, can’t wait to hear all about her rich, longstanding connection to the capital.
So petty. I reckon we should improve the UK’s relationship with Europe but I don’t think offering tax breaks for London’s international schools does anything to achieve that.
‘48% believe Reeves should prioritise cutting taxes, 43% want more money for public services’ there’ll be many who have both in their top two because the UK is forever this:
EXCL: Polling by @Savanta_UK shows just 20% of voters believe Budget will be good for them.
And 48% believe Reeves should prioritise cutting taxes, while 43% would rather see more money for public services.
It’s all in the HuffPost UK Budget preview ⬇️

Good. Next actually deliver on planning reform and let’s get building.
NEW
Treasury effectively confirms debt rule loosening, by announcing its new “guardrails” to channel capital spending goes to a 10 year pipeline of major projects that generate economic returns that will help “depoliticise infrastructure”

Doing my civic duty by advising anyone who may want to watch this for the first time that no you don’t.
In the UK we used to have an MP like this, but at least Andrew Brigden received so few votes at the 2024 election that he lost his deposit.
Yes they can control the weather.
It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Weather manipulation is possible at small scales (for example, “cloud seeding”).
However, weather patterns in general are naturally occurring and cannot be “controlled”. Hurricanes and other large storms cannot be created artificially with modern technology.

The adult baby interview is off.
While prepping to interview Boris Johnson tomorrow, by mistake I sent our briefing notes to him in a message meant for my team. That obviously means it’s not right for the interview to go ahead. It’s very frustrating, and there’s no point pretending it’s anything other than embarrassing and disappointing, as there are plenty of important questions to be asked. But red faces aside, honesty is the best policy. See you on Sunday.
This whole discourse is probably one of the most tedious things about living in the UK.
