Over 40% of all passenger cars in Japan are K segment microcars (under 660cc). Around 40% of new cars in the U.K are massive SUVs. With regulation, you get what you invite.

Important contribution & reminder of high consensus on cause, impact & lessons of crisis. To butcher the quote, we must live life forwards, but can only understand it backwards. Not to learn the lessons of crisis - good or bad - would be unforgiveable. energycrisiscommission.uk/

Impressive numbers. But even more significant in terms of future economic growth will be the proposed change in the fiscal rules @RachelReevesMP outlined again today to allow for greater investment in infrastructure #Budget

Thank you for the mention!! I was so lucky to have many opportunities growing up within Lewisham, I hope my small success can be a catalyst for change to help open opportunities and doors for young people now living in the borough!

It’s not often I get to speak in Parliament as a Government Whip. So, when I can, I make sure to mention #LewishamNorth as much as possible. Thankfully, amazing constituents like our Olympian Gold Medallist @Lixsanyee make that easy to do.

Reeves says it’s very important the Treasury starts to account for the very important positive benefits of investment in its thinking - including how they account for assets / liabilities and any major policy shifts, eg planning reform, at @IPPR event.

We are now approaching a period when the value of the system of independent regulation that the 80s bequeathed us will come under considerable scrutiny, and rightly so. If it is survive, it must adapt, and in adapting it must unlock investment outside of its purview. /fin

When Labour introduced Winter Fuel Payment in 1997, pensioners were more likely to be in poverty than working age people. Since then pensioner incomes have risen faster than those in work & the situation has reversed. The gap is projected to widen further still.

Why should we stop freezing fuel duty? 1. It's a tax cut that helps wealthier households the most and poorest households the least

On 2 (taking tough decisions to fix things/get growth): a. Blair & Cameron/Osborne showed this tough message can be well received by the public b. but less well received by Labour's backbenches, at least some of whom appear in denial about how tough budget is likely to be

They say big trucks are just a reality if you want to make deliveries in the city. I say there's other ways to solve the "last-mile" problem... There's your beer kegs—sorted. #London 🧵
