Today’s @FinancialTimes front page: Spending across the West End is up 13% after we pedestrianised Oxford St. Once again data shows active travel boosts business.

Farage is basically wrong about everything, always. He will end up on exactly the same political scrap heap.

Tory MP James Cleverly attempting to argue that we can’t rejoin the largest trading bloc on the planet (that could provide a 6% inc. in growth), because we’d have to leave a trade agreement on the other side of the earth that gives us about a 0.08% boost to GDP #politicslive

As we head into Oxford Street's first traffic-free weekend, evidence is already showing the benefits to businesses. Market Halls footfall is up 29%, and sales are up 25% year-on-year ⬇️

One week on, Oxford Street is already showing what a traffic-free future can look like. Some businesses are already reporting huge surges in both footfall and sales.

Brexit, despite being forged by lies, has had it's chance. It's an utter failure, a betrayal of country and people, thrust on us. It's time it was finished with.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The problem with the new Tory IHT proposal is immediately obvious to lots of people - it's a shame the Tories didn't spot it.
I really like Kemi Badenoch, but today’s proposal on inheritance tax makes no sense to me. If your principal private residence is completely free of IHT when passed to your children, it creates a huge incentive to maximise the amount of wealth tied up in your home. Why invest in AIM shares, private companies or other productive assets and potentially pay IHT, when you can put the money into a bigger house and pass it on tax-free? Tax policy should encourage investment in productive assets, not create an even bigger incentive to pour wealth into residential property.

Almost dream like happenings….
Monday morning outside Rotterdam Centraal, thousands of cyclists stream toward the station in a choreographed flow. What you’re seeing is the power of systems thinking—the bicycle and train succeed because they work together seamlessly; each mode extends the reach of the other.

I mean, yeah, Brexit has knocked eight percentage points off GDP. But once Britain has free trade deals with Narnia, Utopia, Middle Earth, Freedonia, La-La Land and Big Rock Candy Mountain, the full benefits will be obvious to everybody.
