Michelle Mone would rather you did not see this £75mn restraint order

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government. Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums. https://bit.ly/46RjgY4

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

Ed Davey, "Nigel Farage helped cause the small boat problems, because before Brexit we had 27 return agreements with the EU" - maybe call them Brexit boats?

This is a significant moment for the UK, reported in Bloomberg: Italy's GDP per head has caught the UK. As the article points out, this is a result of inflation, low productivity and low-skilled migration, among other things. But underlying it all is Brexit. 1

So, back doing a little bit of work down in Spain before congés. Been here a lot this year This is a remarkable country. Here are five reasons to love Spain: α. Spain was a dictatorship and basically a theocracy in living memory. Yet it has built a vibrant liberal democracy and healthy society 🧵

Brexit:

Happy Daniel Hannon Day to all who celebrate it. I hope you all enjoy the fireworks as we mark perhaps the worst piece of political forecasting going. www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

MORNING ALL! Today is the 9th anniversary of the Brexit vote. How do we all think it’s gone so far?

I guess the only question that matters, nine years on to the day from that #Brexit vote is this: Do you feel that you have "taken back control" in any meaningful way? ~AA

A truly terrible development, for everyone. Things will not be ok in this country until liberal conservatism returns, but by God there isn't much sign of that.

I wonder what happened in 2016? …another picture to save to your phone and share everywhere.

Whatever way you swing this, this is excellent. And the figures for trust in the euro are particularly impressive. www.reuters.com/world/trust-...

Asked this weekend, 66% of Britons said they supported a closer relationship with the EU, and 53% said they supported rejoining the EU yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Not the biggest news, but by rejoining the pet passport scheme Starmer will save a quarter of a million pet owners* £300 every time they travel to France. Until Badenoch reverses the decision out of pure spite. (* that's how many Brits used to travel with pet every year before Brexit)

This is lovely. Chuffed for him.

My take below 👇 There's a chance here to really do something, if only UK can cast off the self-imposed Brexit shackles. Incidentally, dynamic alignment was always - always - going to happen. bsky.app/profile/nial...

It’s time to rejoin the EU: Britain deserves a new say on a broken Brexit

The easiest and best way for the UK to promote free trade would be to rejoin the EU. But Labour won't do that. Until it does, columns in newspapers about promoting free trade are just a waste of ink. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
