🌊 Good News: The canal has been lowered in Loughborough 🌊 This was agreed at my flooding roundtable and it is brilliant to see this in action so quickly. Thank you to CRT and the EA for collaborating on this. However, water levels are still rising – we need to prepare.

A climate change consensus used to exist in Britain. It is a shame how much the Conservative Party has changed.

Today, we pause to remember all those who have died in service of our country and express thanks for all our brave personnel who still serve. I remember all those from Loughborough, Shepshed, and the Villages who have served. We will never forget their sacrifice and service.

Significant fall in gilt rate this morning. They fell because labour market stats release make it more likely MPC will cut rates at next meeting. Again, no changes in fiscal policy this morning.

Progressives need to stand up and fight for climate action. It is the route to better lives for people today, and security for future generations to come. https://t.co/Z37JsWXeLB

Britain is becoming more and more divided. Some of us can afford a decent life, a lot of us can't. We see different worlds through our screens. The places we live in look and feel increasingly different. Our task is to help unite this nation again.

The bond rate fell substantially today as 4 MPC members voted to cut Nothing to do with fiscal position. All to do with Bank of England. Reminder: The UK government bond rate = demand for investment + expected inflation + political risk* *(usually 0, sometimes you get Truss)

Glass like these whisky bottles needs lots of electricity to produce. Our supercharger scheme increases the discount on electricity network charges for sectors like steel, cement, chemicals and glass from 60% to 90%. This is our modern Industrial Strategy in action.

The lesson from last night's results: Win on affordability, and you win the election
Voters in New Jersey and Virginia who said the economy was their number 1 issue voted 63-35 for Democrats last night. That’s a sharp reversal from 2024, when Trump won economy voters by 60 points https://t.co/ZFr4J742OQ

Punishing people doesn’t get people into work. We get people into work by creating good jobs.

We used to agree on climate change, but now the Conservatives are turning their back on future generations. They’re becoming more radical by the day.
