Brilliant. This is a beautiful takedown by Prof Becky Malby, of most of the myths around taking water back into public ownership, including its cost. Also demolishes the idea it’s possible for ANY regulator to effectively function within a privatised water model. Join the…

I once asked a lawyer* why legal terms are in Latin & he pointed out that definitions in English drift & migrate through usage but using a dead language made it more likely that definitions would remain static over years & centuries. Rare example of a lawyer* making a good point.

Me if I was a BBC News commissioner: "I want a deep dive into Bezos' tax affairs, with a detailed analysis of his global tax payments comparing it to national and regional tax norms." BBC News commissioner: "I want wall-to-wall photos of who is wearing what in Venice."

The lack of self awareness or contrition from @EnvAgency is just gobsmacking. Formed in 1995 the EA has a primary legal duty to protect and safeguard this nation's salmon stocks. That's their job. A year after it was established 17,444 salmon were caught in England and Wales,…

“China wins a trade war with the U.S.” — Jeffrey Sachs China produces, while the U.S. consumes on credit. Trump doesn’t get it because "he never made it to the second day of econ class." "Our political system is in a state of collapse."

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

Why can’t Britain build anything anymore? The news this week of the £100m ‘bat tunnel’ gave us some clues. Here’s the story of this tunnel, which has been 12 years in the making, and some thoughts on what it tells us

One of the most remarkable images out of Spain yesterday is from this town in Aragón. That's a lot of water, but the dam — which was ordered built by the Emperor Augustus — held firm, just as it has for the past 2000 years. Roman concrete: Never leave home without it.

One phenomenon I've noticed recently, due to the rise of moustaches and mullets among white men across the Western world: it is no longer possible to confidently identify Australians at a distance.

Like individuals, businesses benefit from a functioning public sphere. Whether that's a health service where people don't have to wait two years for an appointment, colleges that haven't had to cut teaching time due to cuts, a criminal justice system that deters crime etc...

Pop star bringing £1bn to UK economy who received death threats gets police security in country where someone blew up the crowd at an Ariane Grande concert. In contrast Liz Truss spent £500,000 on a flight to Australia for 12 + £15,000 on food and alcohol.

There had been a terror plot in Vienna - this entire furore over Taylor Swift's security is utterly ridiculous, Little Englander, pathetic and damaging to the reputation of the country.

The great irony here is that Donald Trump is the ONLY sitting US president to have attended Davos in the past 24 years. Indeed, he went to the World Economic Forum twice while president, which was twice as many times as Bill Clinton...
