Congratulations, James!
"Navigating Brexit has always been about trade-offs, and if Labour is ready to move then it should be ready to fight for what delivers the most benefit for the longer term, not what appears easy in the short-term."

Keir Starmer’s stated preference in today’s big BBC interview for greater EU single market alignment - and access - rather than a customs union deal is a significant choice which, in terms of economic growth, would probably do more good. ukandeu.ac.uk/thinking-swi...

Interesting article on whether folk in the UK should now be looking towards the Swiss model for EU relations - something that wasn't necessarily available a few years ago given EU attitudes, but might be now if UK folk are ready to make the effort. ukandeu.ac.uk/thinking-swi...
Away ashes defeats since 2005, ranked from most to least wretched:

Delighted to publish this personal essay by me and John: Getting Britain out of the hole.
We wanted to write something quite readable that covers the big picture of the UK’s economic struggles. Hopefully we’ve managed at least one of those!

Have to admire the chutzpah of academic publishers.

A decision by Russia to build nuclear power plants in Iran won't be a business decision. Rosatom took a USD 3-digit million loss at Bushehr-1, Iran proved a difficult client, & company management by itself would not be very inclined. en.mehrnews.com/news/227056/...
“And the CMPR goes “almost certainly due to… very likely tied to… probably perceives”, which reads like a super-educated guess. This not meant as critique, but rather to note how murky it still seems.
Difficult to think of a driver that *wouldn’t* fall into one of the categories in the Aug 24 DIA description, no?

Yeah he’s done you up like a kipper there.
Was there more than pictured, or is his tweet text supposed to be a paraphrasing of what’s in the picture?

Worth recalling how little we know about Syria’s former nuclear weapons effort. Whoever rules Syria next stands to inherit whatever documents the Assad regime retained (and let’s hope that’s all it is) assuming they haven’t been/won’t be destroyed.

Six months ago I handed back my body armour after 30+ years covering conflict for the BBC. How have our ways of surviving on the battlefield evolve over those decades? Here’s a bumper 🧵of hard won personal experience
