    If I were Starmer, I think I’d launch my own energy saving campaign. I’d ask other prominent voices (Martin Lewis?) to collaborate. I’d focus on things people are less likely to know, like flow temp on boiler, or the relative energy use of boilers vs lights.(1/3)

    “The Conservatives have lost moral authority and lack the democratic legitimacy to form an effective administration. At the earliest opportunity, leadership candidates should commit to holding a general election within six months” James in Telegraph.
    Why general election Armageddon is a risk worth taking for the Tories

    You know what people never complain about? Gail’s. I have four posh pastry shops - breakfast easily matches a big mac - within five minutes walk of my house. Too posh to ban?

    apropos of nothing, one of my favourite anecdotes in Blair’s autobiography.

    I HATE these stories. When Starmer goes to the G7 will he stay in a hostel?On diplomatic missions will labour give the other side bread and water? You just make it harder to govern and stoke disillusionment, and it won't help you win ('all the same')

    I think it would help show I was a government in waiting not a passive opposition (which remains their big risk) (3/3)

    Adult education is a perfect test of government. It bores journalists to tears, so no shiny Westminster village wins. It won't show big results for quite a while. But if you deeply care about opportunity, then you cannot have a system that offers one chance (1/2).

    This is one of the most catastrophic political interviews I have ever seen.

    ‘We were fantastic actually’ probably not such a good tactic for the Tories.

    I did find the defaults on this fascinating. Of course health is baked in at increases way above economic growth, and of course education is 0. Because redistribution to older people is 100% baked in.

    Want to get an idea how difficult it is to be Rachel Reeves in setting a UK Budget... Play the delightfully slick FT "can you run the UK economy game" ig.ft.com/chancellor-gam…

    I was unconvinced until he showed me the paragraphs he’d written on what the public had gone through. I now think he’s right.

    I’d say I know some of this might seem obvious, but if everyone does it, it will make a huge difference. I’d say the risk is without advice, more people will do things that damage their health. (2/3)

    Why wouldn't you try to explain to people how to reduce their energy use if they want to? It saves them money, saves the taxpayer money, reduces risks. I find it baffling. You don't need to make them do it. It's just not an example of nanny state.

    I think the Whitty/PM exchange is government working well. PM asks questions. Experts reply. He probes. Experts reply. He accepts their guidance. Isn't this exactly what an elected politician + expert civil service is supposed to do?
