Dear @PeterAttiaMD - I sent you an email, about a possible piece in @Telegraph. DM me if you would prefer me to DM you the idea. All bests.
Jumbo Visma may be winning the Vuelta but by refusing to back the brilliant Sepp Kuss to victory they will surely destroy their own team.

NEW: Food prices are the new frontline in the cost of living crisis - this summer they’ll overtake energy prices as the biggest hit to family finances resolutionfoundation.org/pub…

UK cost of living is 🚀 up. I’m not badly paid at all but myself and middle class friends have no disposable income now. My energy bill is 3x what it was in 2021, mortgage is up by £400 a month and a quick shop in Tesco is £60 when it used to be £30. How are you all managing it?

This move is inexcusable 😠
Shaped by our ancestors over centuries, our paths are a national treasure, telling the stories of our history & our heritage 🥾✊

Last year, @yolafawehinmi, a journalist at @Telegraph, came to us and said she wanted to make a podcast for black writers.
We developed the idea with her, provided one-to-one presenter training sessions, composed the theme music, then helped her bring the idea to life...

No sign of a recovery of productivity growth in latest UK figures.
This 15 yr long stagnation underlies all the UK's difficulties, stagnant wages, difficulty funding public services.
Why would we expect this to change, if we don't start doing things differently?
Hello @RichardvReeves - might you be able to spare me a little time for a piece I'm writing on the theme of your new book? Hope so. Tight deadline of course! DM me and I can explain fully. Many thanks in advance.

Another one of those @resfoundation charts that always gets me. In the last 20 years pensioner poverty has been slashed (good) but child poverty is barely down at all. And this is absolute poverty not relative.

The moment the mother of Iranian protestor Mohsen Shekari, age 23, learns he’s been hanged for “waging war against God”. The regime told her to stay silent to win his release. This execution was meant to deter further dissent, but likely does the opposite. xitter.cf/1500tasvir/status/1600…

On this meme, I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that Arabs, in general, are not offended by light-hearted references to the Crusades. As someone pointed out, they won. A significant proportion of my Uber rides in the ME start "Hello Qalb al-Assad" (Arabic for "Lionheart").

Smart move, chap. Really thought that one through, didn’t you.

Higher net migration underpins OBR growth forecast. =Without these workers, Britain would face even bigger tax rises and deeper spending cuts.
=Having accepted this economic reality, ministers must speak honestly to voters about economic benefits of immigration.

1/ Since leaving Number 10, I have been building a new campaign focused on tackling Britain's biggest problem: economic growth (or at least, the lack of it.)

Gotta be amazed at instincts & wonder at how they evolve. Did this happen in steps, or all at once?

Very convincing analysis. I'd add defence spending to the list: my bet is that the Johnsonian fringe will use 3%/Ukraine as first excuse to challenge Sunak-Hunt plans.
My piece for @ConHome on why the right of the Conservative Party bears much of the responsibility for the mess the country and party now faces. And how they may be about to make the life of Rishi Sunak impossible on taxes, Europe & immigration. conservativehome.com/2022/10…
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace now to update the House on Ajax this week. Is he about to put Britain's £5.5 billion military disaster - which I wrote about this week - out of its misery? telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/10…

By very visibly doing his job while looking after his baby, Guy does a dual service. #1: dads can & should juggle too. #2 work and parenting can & should go together.
So: 👏🏻, but let’s hope that one day something like this is mundane & unremarkable.

6 fringes, multiple speeches, meetings and more … with a small one! Thank you #Birmingham #CPC22 #onwards
Hello @HadfieldJane - am writing a piece on NHS training and apprenticeships. Might you be able to spare a few mins to bring me up to speed? I do hope so. Many thanks. DM contacts etc. Thanks!
