The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me when David (& other independent experts) argue that unlimited mass immigration when we were in the EU did not keep wages low whilst at the same time arguing that we need mass unlimited immigration going forward to prevent wages rising.

Now more than ever, we must stand with Israel.

For over 70 years, Israel’s very existence has been threatened. Tonight, Iran attacks Israel as their leaders have promised for so long.

Thinking of our military personnel in the region and the people of Israel tonight.

The people of Israel are resilient. Now and always, we stand with them. Am Yisrael Chai; the people of Israel live! 🇮🇱

Important piece by Prof Richard Ekins KC on the consequences of the recent ECHR judgment - a huge power grab by Strasbourg

Frost: an elite obsession with ‘net zero’ and low-cost migrant labour has added to the current economic decline of both the UK and the West. EU membership—and, particularly, single market integration from the late 1990s—distorted the UK’s economy and labour market, and led to its…

Thoughts and prayers tonight with Israel 🇮🇱, a tiny beacon of light and democracy battling for its survival in a difficult and scary neighbourhood; attacked relentlessly by Hamas on one side and Hezbollah on the other, and now threatened directly by the puppet-masters themselves…

She was right. The OBR has become a perma block to change. A means to prevent democratically elected Government's delivering their policies. And Labour plan to strengthen it's powers if elected.

Andrew Gant, the councillor in charge of consolidating LTNs in Oxford and introducing ANPR-camera-supported gates across the city has come out against traffic restrictions in his own ward. LTNs are for affluent, well-connected people to arrange the city to suit their purposes.

The problem is that much of the British establishment “still lives in the mental world of EU membership.”

Excellent interview with David Frost

FYI, the UK has suspended tariffs on a wide range of imports from today.

Allianz Trade suggests that this will reduce #inflation by 0.6 percentage points (more than offsetting the 0.2pp increase they attribute to #Brexit checks on agricultural products).

I’ve received several messages like this in reply to my piece in the Daily Telegraph.

It reflects a big misunderstanding. Nobody is against British food production.

The question is how to best guarantee supply and low prices: diverse global food supply chains.

This very foolish ruling, extending the court’s jurisdiction from legislating against state violations of fundamental rights to demanding positive action to achieve abstract policy goals will make calls like this to ditch it far more credible.

This is the latest example of the expansionist doctrine practised by the justices of the Strasbourg Court.

By viewing the ECHR as a “living document” they continually stretch its reach in ways no signatory ever agreed to.

It’s profoundly undemocratic.
