As an LD member I don’t agree. Parliament is not an executive.

Could always dollarise the global economy by running trade deficits? πŸ˜‰

Always a useful summary. Thank you

At last, something more practical than the mankini, and its blends with my headgear. I’m all in.

I plumped for PGHT over IBT in the end. Not sure it was any better tbh

Hi @ft.com it’s a Royal Fleet Auxiliary, not a warship. Hence why it can be built overseas.

Always good to get his thoughts after a history of being a corporate governance advocate

Stop with the sensible ideas. They won’t fly with @hmtreasury zero-sum thinking.

As a veteran the last people I’d want involved is a uninformed mob in the HoC

Being a convention doesn’t make it a good approach. That was a political ploy for Blair to appease his party. Worked brilliantly didn’t it?

This is true but that does not mean parliament has to vote on military actions. It’s not equipped or informed to act as a pseudo executive. It’s a legislature.

As a veteran and LD member I disagree. Parliament is a legislature not an executive. Such decisions are for the government.

Renting a place to pay someone who’s renting money is so true

He’s drip feeding laxative. This is just chat between doses to reassure the patient

An inconsistent ally is an unreliable ally said FT’s Martin Wolf. An unreliable ally isn’t really an ally imho. I’ve gone from Atlanticist to Gaullist faster than I could ever imagine.

I was amused how some don’t believe you can be both left or centre as well as into free market capitalism

It’s always been ethical. When push comes to shove with unreasonable people willing to use violence to end democracy, the rule of law and freedom of speech unfortunately military force can be necessary.

Tesla isn’t euphoria imo, it’s a brand/meme/cult stock with no relation to fundamentals or business reality. It’s a β€˜I believe in Elon’ stuck and nothing more.

I’m agree but wonder how many are baying for more
