Asked in 2019 how he could cut tax rates while raising spending, Boris correctly cited Ibn Khaldun’s insight that lower rates lead in time to higher revenues. Sadly, the converse is also true. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/07/02/wealthy-families-flee-britain-tory-tax-raids-take-toll/

If governments won't act to slim the state, markets do it for them. The second option is far the more painful. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07/01/britain-far-terrible-statethan-anyone-prepared-contemplate/

By the way, have the @Conservatives appointed a new chairman yet? Because I reckon I've got the ideal candidate...

"Somme," said a German veteran afterwards. "The whole history of the world cannot contain a more ghastly word."
The horror began #OTD 1916 with 20,000 British fatalities - the single worst day in the long story of our Armed Forces.

@BorisJohnson @RTErdogan @NATO Sheesh, the replies here. I hope to God this country is never reduced to whingeing because foreigners talk of "Londra" or "Gran Bretaña" or whatever.

@BorisJohnson @RTErdogan @NATO I am every bit as Turcophile as the PM, but what is this "Türkiye" business? We have a perfectly good English exonym, and we should use it. In fact, I rather regret that we have dropped "Angora". ?s=20&t=tDf6kmlfXvXYeg4xb_O_6A
RT @DanielJHannan: Unpopular, I know, but people should use exonyms. The French should call Dover Douvres. The Germans should call Bratislava Pressburg. We should say Kiev - no…

Yes, of course I can see the funny side of @Keir_Starmer being toppled by a lockdown violation row that he insisted on stirring up.
But it would represent the triumph of partisan policing. Durham police, like the Met, would have changed their position under political pressure.
