A powerful intervention from the head of the Army. Something is coming, and government needs to wake up.
He says the public will have to make sacrifices so we can prioritise defence and security.
This is no time for “national security can’t come at the expense of social security”. Hard choices are coming whether ministers like it or not.
I have been clear where I would start: cut welfare spending and put the money into defence.

A separate Scotland would be free to use whatever currency it wanted, including sterling. But it could not print sterling — indeed the Scottish banks would have to stop printing Scottish pound notes — and the Bank of England would not be lender of last resort. It has no need to be that to any foreign jurisdiction just because that jurisdiction uses sterling.
So a separate Scotland using sterling would have no ability to create money and no central bank lender of last resort. But by far the biggest deficit in Europe to finance. Borrowing rates would be penal. It’s a Darien-style financial crash in the making which will pauperise the nation. And the real threat to Scotland’s pensions/pensioners.

“The motion passed by the Green Party today is an attack on the Jewish community. It is an antisemitic platform, based on a grossly offensive distortion and erasure of Jewish experience and identity.”

If Germany, or any other EU state, had truly wanted Britain in the EU, they would not have perfomatively sent David Cameron away empty-handed from the 2016 renegotiation. They were readier to lose their second-largest economy than to allow the slightest return of powers.

We wouldn't give much weight to the OECD's new GDP forecasts, but still interesting that...
1⃣ "Brexit Britain" is expected to grow as fast or faster than the euro area again in both 2026 and 2027 (France has now replaced Germany as Europe's "sick man")
2⃣ the euro area is expected to grow about half as fast as the US - why should the UK want to realign more closely with a failing economic bloc? 🤷♂️

People said "how can the Lords reject/delay something the Commons wants: isn't that un-democratic?"
But the Commons, presented with the same bill, and having heard the Lords, thought again and voted it down. Ours is a deliberative democracy: argument, reason, checks & balance.

Exciting day for NVIDIA and @huggingface.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. They allow every developer, startup, university, industry and country to build with, customize and benefit from AI.
Thank you @ClementDelangue for coming to me.
NVIDIA is going to be a great home for Hugging Face, its community and the future of open models. 🤗

Interesting from Sir Anthony Seldon’s new book “Sunak at 10” (and also “Truss at 10”) that I was TWICE almost made Chief Whip in Autumn 2022.
I would have been pleased to serve.
But one thing’s for sure - I wouldn’t have published a tell-all memoir about it!

Reminder that Dolly Parton didn't leave this world as some fragile lady, she left like a hot rockstar in heels & leather.

What a lady. In addition to the wonderful music, and the sharp wit, Dolly Parton’s literacy program, the Imagination Library, has sent *318 million* books to children under 5. Including 7 million in Britain alone. A fantastic legacy.

Sono favorevole alla chiusura dello spazio Schengen con la Spagna e ho piena fiducia nell’operato del Ministro Piantedosi. L’immigrazione irregolare e incontrollata rappresenta un pericolo per la sicurezza nazionale. Le immagini che arrivano da Ceuta dimostrano come la scelta del Governo di Madrid di dare la cittadinanza spagnola, quindi europea, ad oltre 500mila immigrati irregolari sia profondamente sbagliata e incentivi il traffico di essere umani.
