🇺🇳 António Guterres: “The scale of killing in Gaza is unlike anything I've witnessed in my years as Secretary-General.” FACT-CHECK: ❌ Under Guterres's watch since 2017: 🇸🇾 Syria: 120,000+ killed 🇸🇩 Sudan: 150,000+ killed 🇪🇹 Ethiopia: 162,000+ killed 🇾🇪 Yemen: 200,000+ killed

Fair enough. This is not remotely serious from the Lib Dems. But let’s not forget current govt claimed a “fully costed” manifesto on basis of c£8bn of tax increases. It has increased taxes by c£70bn. Pots and kettles spring to mind.

Brilliant analysis of Labour Israel policy by Labour peer Lord Mendelsohn spectator.com/article/the-pr…

Gordon Brown is right to stress the UK’s innovative strengths - but we must also incentivise UK pension funds to invest in our growth scaleups . Innovation is the answer to Britain’s elusive growth problem giftarticle.ft.com/giftartic…

mol.im/a/16116679 With the anniversary of the October 7 massacre less than a month away, it’s clear whose side Labour is on.

Killer chart from the FT... Yes, the cost of UK government borrowing jumped more than in the rest of the G7 in 2022. But that was FOUR years ago... The UK government's cost of borrowing has only consistently been the highest in the G7 (the "max" here excludes the UK) since 2024... 🤔

Chart of the Day The OBR's Brexit analysis assumed that the UK's global exports and imports, and hence the "trade intensity" of the economy, will be 15% lower in the long run than if the UK had remained in the EU. Here's what has actually happened, with the EU added for comparison... 🤔 My takeaways... 1⃣ in reality, the trade intensity of the UK economy has barely changed since Brexit (whether you start the clock in 2016, or later) and the trend looks much the same as most other countries (as well as the EU as a whole). 2⃣ at most, the UK's trade intensity could be a few percentage points lower than it might otherwise have been, but this is unlikely to have any significant impact on productivity or growth in an advanced and still highly open economy. 3⃣ even then, there may be other (non-Brexit) factors affecting trade, and especially exports, such as the UK's relatively high energy costs. 4⃣ if it wants to keep the 15%, the OBR will therefore have to claim that it is still too soon to judge the "long-run" impact of Brexit on the UK's trade intensity (even though the OBR's own forecasts out to 2030 only have a small fall from here), or that the UK's trade intensity would now be much higher somehow if Britain were still in the EU (even though no comparable country has seen a big increase since the UK left). 5⃣ in my view, the OBR should not be afraid to drop the 15% assumption. Just like the "4%" hit to long-run productivity, it was only ever an average of a number of external studies, most undertaken well before the final shape of the Brexit deal was known. 6⃣ at the very least, people should stop citing the OBR's numbers as gospel! ps. these numbers cover both goods and services (as did the OBR's).
