Next budget is crucial. I hope this report and Lords’ Economic affairs committee one will persuade HMT that we need more investment .Markets will not be scared by dropping nonsensical rule that debt ratio must fall in year 5 irrespective of what happens in years 1-4.
Britain faces a pivotal moment. Our infrastructure is creaking, public services are collapsing, and we are falling behind other countries in the race to decarbonise. We can’t afford another lost decade. We need to start investing in the future.

Every now and again there is a piece of writing that I think everyone should read because of its significance and the moral authority of its argument. This article by ⁦@NesrineMalik⁩ is one such piece. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

"There’s an incredibly important conversation that needs to be had. But it's not about boats... and it certainly isn't about people attacking shops and looting Greggs." Historian David Olusoga talks to @JonnyDymond about the need for a conversation about immigration.

It's all in here: how to ensure housing meets everyone's needs without destroying vast tracts of countryside. Our report for the Labour Party in 2019. It's crucial that the structure and incentives of the housing sector are radically changed. landforthemany.uk/

The most useful thing I think I can do this morning is suggest questions to ask politicians in this election. A thread.

If number plates are so effective, why do drivers kill 600 pedestrians and cyclists every year? Men like Simon Heffer are ridiculous.

Reintroduce managed capitalism, fairly balance GDP between wage share and profit share, ban corporate donations to MPs, dismantle partisan think tanks, renationalise all public services, we need new political parties not addicted to neoliberalism.

One of neoliberalism's most cunning successes has been its ability to convince an entire generation that the route to a happier life comes via the individualistic hunt for new personal identity, rather than a collectivist fight for structural economic reform.
