If #ITFC play like that for the next two games, that should do it.
As I was saying…
The upcoming spending review will be a crucial moment for the next government. @PJTheEconomist speaks to @DavidGauke and @Gilesyb, two experts who have been at the heart of the spending review process. 🎧 Listen to the latest IFS Zooms In podcast here: ifs.org.uk/articles/ps600…
If there is a prospect of a confidence vote, we will hear claims that Sunak would be willing to go straight to the country & that rather than face a vote of confidence from MPs, he would choose a vote from the public. My @NewStatesman piece. newstatesman.com/comment/2024/0…
Rishi Sunak may gamble on a summer general election if he fears being removed by Tory MPs. 🖊️ @DavidGauke newstatesman.com/comment/2024/0…
This is an excellent podcast. 40 minutes of @PJTheEconomist @DavidGauke and me explaining to you lot that things need to be paid for- what more could you want?

IMO the very last thing our country needs is greater political influence over the choice of judges. The situation in the US should serve as a warning, not an example to follow
Agree wholeheartedly with @DavidGauke on this. Short thread to explain:

*her* policy. She wanted a more diverse judiciary (as she says in the book) but I’m very confident she never pushed for the LC to take back control of judicial appointments.

@DavidGauke @BNHWalker @NewStatesman Yes I see that - and have heard similar. And they've never made enough effort with her to expect a lot of help
This is an excellent podcast. 40 minutes of @PJTheEconomist @DavidGauke and me explaining to you lot that things need to be paid for- what more could you want?
NEW PODCAST: The £600 billion problem awaiting the next government @PJTheEconomist is joined by @DavidGauke and @Gilesyb to discuss the upcoming Spending Review, a crucial moment for the next government. 🎧 Listen here: ifs.org.uk/articles/ps600…
Agree wholeheartedly with @DavidGauke on this. Short thread to explain:
My @ConHome piece on Liz Truss’s thoughts on her time at the MoJ. She calls for the Judicial Appointments Commission to be abolished & that senior judges should be appointed by the Lord Chancellor. That’s a bad idea & not a policy at the time. conservativehome.com/2024/04/22/dav…
This is very good indeed.
I’ve taken a closer look at Truss’s chapter on her time at the Ministry of Justice for @ConHome and, in particular, her plans to politicise the judiciary. Proper British conservatives should have nothing to do with them. conservativehome.com/2024/04/22/dav…
What a superb quote from this acid review of Trruss' book.
A “messy and chaotic battle against some deeply embedded vested interests & those on our own side who seek to appease them” cannot be avoided, says Truss. “VOTE TORY FOR MESSY & CHAOTIC BATTLES” is quite the election slogan. My @NewStatesman piece. newstatesman.com/culture/books/…
I don’t doubt the difficulty faced by police on these situations or the fact one one officer said the wrong thing under pressure but this seems to be the Met saying we are sorry we said what we said but we are actually right.
A pleasing demolition of Liz Truss‘ new book by @DavidGauke highlighting a key point: Some of her arguments get v.close to conspiracy theories. I would argue that propensity to fall for, or, worse, promote those, is a bigger threat to the West than the failure of Ms Truss agenda.
“...the tale of a politician with a simplistic mindset and a reckless temperament who should never have reached the top of British politics and whose ministerial career culminated in personal humiliation.” 📖 Book of the Day: @DavidGauke newstatesman.com/culture/books/…
Obvs rum for @trussliz to moan about leaks. But I DO have sympathy for the lack of support -- hair & make-up appointments, getting cough meds etc. Don't think it's a lot that a prime minister should have that stuff taken care off so they can focus on the job. Might do it better!
A growing culture of leaks, you say? Hmm.
@DavidGauke Make that ‘23..! I’m too exhausted to know what year it is
@anandMenon1 A draw is not enough… can you please lose like Leicester?
Correction: Referendums are no way to run *this* country. Our politics and media are too infantile.
From @DavidGauke: Referendums are no way to run a country conservativehome.com/2024/04/08/dav…
Typically astute take on the long term by @DavidGauke newstatesman.com/politics/conse…
A relatively sensible Conservative Party should indeed be capable of saving many of the Blue Wall seats. But the pressure from the Right-wing media and factions on the Tory Right to embrace Faragist policies make it less likely to happen
“Recovering the Blue Wall should be within reach for a relatively sensible Conservative Party.” 📫 @DavidGauke newstatesman.com/politics/conse…
The weird thing about this is the doubling down on the strategy that from a polling perspective has already proved disastrous. Reform voters won’t believe it and the left of the party will be more inclined to vote for Labour / the LDs.
SUN EXCLUSIVE Britain will quit the ECHR if that’s what it takes to stop the boats, Rishi Sunak declares. “I believe that border security and controlling illegal migration is more important than our membership of any foreign court.” thesun.co.uk/news/27100198/…
