I’m hoping that @RachelReevesMP can find enough in her budget to extend the taxpayer funded subsidies to @DraxGroup. With its latest buyback announced this morning, and since the subsidy regime began, Drax will have paid out c. £1.3 billion to its shareholders through dividends & share buybacks (or c. 6.5% of Ms. Reeve’s black hole). 🙏🏻 💨 💰£DRX @hmtreasury

should the United States immigration and naturalization service show any mercy to people who, apparently inadvertently, misused the green card program, or should it ban them from permanent residence in California? asking for a friend
If you're a criminal, the law should show you no mercy.

Trump: It must be because of my relationship with M.I.T., very smart, I say, what would happen if the boat sank, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater…. Do I get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark?

Sorry is the hardest word
"On reflection, that was a mistake and I apologise." Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says it is important that the story of him leaving D-Day commemorations early yesterday is not "politicised". trib.al/i12Uy6J 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

interesting structural theory that Conservative austerity pushed regulatory obligations onto business as cost saving
Replying to @Adam_Grant_Bell
Which is that Cameron and Osborne's austerity project failed to meaningfully engage with the reality of this regulatory state, and rather than seeking to reduce the number of these entities simply starved them of funding. /9

I wrote here that many mistakes are inevitable and thus forgivable, whilst others are not: stumblingandmumbling.typepad… Sunak's is the latter type.

Jeremy Corbyn could also head a 10% national party if he wanted to. He and Nigel Farage are exactly parallel in perceptions: an asset to 6-10% parties - because a quarter of people like them- but a liability to 40% parties - because 6/10 people do not
