RT by @Lugey6: The problem is that OBR numbers have not been worth the paper they have been written on for some time.
Putting the economy on autopilot from the OBR computer is a recipe for endless stagnation.

On @SkyNews to discuss why last week's by-elections offer an opportunity for the Government to take the fight back to Labour - if they can flesh out a clearer vision of genuine reforms for the country

@AnnieEaves You assume that football fans are not conservative? You assume we don't watch football and talk about it? Weird.

RT @HughRBennett: The Windsor Framework makes several welcome steps forward, but it is not the conclusive resolution to the Protocol it claims to be - and did not justify the dropping of the Bill

RT @HughRBennett: Six key tests for any deal on the NIP:
1. How green is the green lane?
2. Is there treaty change?
3. Does it restore UK tax & spend powers?
4. Can UK goods be sold in NI?
5. What happens to the ECJ?
6. What happens to the Bill?

RT @DavidGHFrost: This is correct from @SimonClarkeMP.
There is no deadline for these talks, so the best thing would be to keep negotiating and meanwhile push on with the Protocol Bill, so that our negotiators are in the strongest possible position.

It seems a random topic to get into, but its already causing quite the stir in the US over the politics of ESG, particularly with Republican politicians. I find it surprising that there isn't more debate of it here in the UK. https://www.ft.com/content/cd226411-f0db-4027-90cb-f067381817fa

Recently got back into putting pen to paper.
ESG might seem like some sort of investment gobbledigook, but its directing big bucks into companies (to put it simply) on the basis of "ethics". Ironically the industry itself might not be as ethical as we first thought ⬇️
