I’m old enough to remember when sunak was getting pelters for moving this target
EXCL: Ministers are expected to make steep cuts to the government’s electric vehicle targets this week, in a move that will relieve carmakers but alarm many Labour MPs who are worried about the government’s commitment to the green agenda - @kiranstacey reports theguardian.com/environment/…

Rattled. Ashcroft (note Wording is different to most) has been a leading indicator in last 6months
This is totally dishonest polling by Tory donor who isn’t even a member of the British Polling Council. He had us at 21% in May and we achieved 28% - his polling has been proven as bogus time and time again.

Who’d have thought someone that was head of resolution foundation would be propose something like this. thetimes.com/article/d77bce8…

Can someone tell me is there any precedent of spending more to save more from government policy in last 25 years?
We'll need to spend money on Neets to get benefits down, Andy Burnham tells Times Radio’s political editor Anna Mikhailova. “I am prepared to take difficult decisions … there does need to be quite radical change in the way we support young people.” @AVMikhailova | @AndyBurnham

This is gunna be a must watch. Hope they do it.
SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight. If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact. This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.

Who would have thought piling on loads of added regulation increasing cost of building homes (many are close to break even now) would mean the target would get missed?
The Government is going to miss the 1.5 million homes target. Homes are now getting built slower than under the previous three Governments. We need a new wave of planning reform to get back on track.

I’m still bullish on AI despite mid terms and issue over data centres. Perhaps a buying opportunity
Absolute insanity. In just 40 minutes, the S&P 500 has now erased -$2 trillion in market cap. The entire post-Midterm Election rally has been erased in a matter of minutes. This is one of the fastest market cap losses in stock market history.

This point is damming of governments of past and present (although present has made it worse) Rationing of energy, planning, labour all contributes.
The subtext to the whole MPR is “the UK can’t grow particularly fast without generating inflation”. That is why the MPC felt they had to act to a supply side shock.

That trend of Badenoch since late summer early autumn of last year is quite something. Trying finding a historical precedent for it and am struggling.
Replying to @LukeTryl
After a downer last week, party leader approvals are up. Burnham is up 2 to +10. Badenoch jumps even more to +8 her highest net approval we’ve recorded. Davey is up 1 to -11, Lowe up 2 to -16, Farage up 2 to -26 and Polanski up 2 to -34.

Next week he’s going to be very clear that he didn’t say this.
🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham attacks the Tories' proposed £36bn cuts to the welfare bill "They're putting a number before people... if they were to do that, there'd be another big number for the utter chaos that they cause in people's lives"

Honestly how many times has he had to be clear when he’s not been very clear.
"I've been very clear that we do not support reparations." Prime Minister Andy Burnham on whether more UK taxpayers' money will be directed to Commonwealth countries as a result of the government being open to an apology for the UK's role in the slave trade.

Spring election off the back of that. Good luck is all I’d say
The latest predictions for the January Price Cap - AWFUL, up 28.8%! This is our internal MSE document where we average three forecasts and how its changed over the past few weeks as wholesale rates have continued to rocket. PS Jan prediction is getting much more locked in as we're 85% through the 19 August to 17 November 2026 assessment period. April & July predictions are much more crystal ballgazing.

Genuinely don’t understand why they’re doing this and I’ve read the article

So today we’ve had a party want to bailout a private business and a party say employers aren’t working people.
