JUST IN: Bentley unveils its first-ever EV, the Torcal, capable of going 0–60 mph in an estimated 2.9 seconds & charging from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes.

🟢EXC: Former Labour Mayor Jamie Driscoll will release a 200 page report tomorrow aimed at boosting the Greens' credibility on the economy after joining Zack Polanski’s party last year. The report, called Hostage Nation, will argue the UK has become hostage to the idea we can't afford the things that will make ordinary life cheaper. It will say the UK has outsourced financial security to the global markets for the past 40 years and suggest a range of ways that UK financial markets could be used to rebuild Britain, including scrapping self-imposed fiscal rules. While wanting to show there are figures within the Greens thinking seriously about public finances, it is hoped the document will also catch the attention of Andy Burnham ahead of the budget. The pair were previously close colleagues when working as Metro Mayors together. Speaking ahead of the report launch Driscoll told me: "A lot of people very much like the values of the Green Party... but before they are going to vote for Greens they want to see, how would they run the economy? "I' ve looked under the bonnet of the economy, the money is there, the powers are there, but the political bravery is missing." Full details will be released tomorrow. While this isn't official party policy it has been presented to the Greens' economic working group with the hope it could be adopted by next year. It comes amid efforts within the party to break with the current fiscal regime and offer a credible economic alternative to attract the left wing vote. As @EthanCroft98 reported last week, that includes a motion to be voted on at conference which would drop the use of interest rates as the main means of controlling inflation.
