What he said, including the part about Americans being right to be pissed with us @matthewsyed // “Decadence has sapped our defences. We need more than military service” thetimes.co.uk/article/11899…

How were you before the fight? “Terrified.” How was your pre-fight camp? “Didn’t have one—got injured and couldn’t walk ten days before the fight.” What a champion // Tom Aspinall: 'I Have Achieved What I Set Out to Achieve' | UFC 295 youtu.be/69XkuP2jR5w?si=P0nx… via @YouTube

No, it really doesn’t depend on the outcome of the match. Decisions are judged on the knowledge available at the time. What did the probabilities say? Disappointed by this foolish commentary // “Did England bat too long?” @BBCSport

@matthewsyed Not so sure. Doesn’t that require change in human nature? Great leaders project confidence & focus orgs on pts of leverage. Uncertainty is for behind the scenes // The words I’d love to hear from a G7 leader: ‘Honestly, I don’t know’ thetimes.co.uk/article/9d96d…

Very proud. Reminds me of Canada v New Zealand in 1991: come up against a juggernaut and courageously go down swinging.

@mathewparris3 I think you’re going on easy on yourself calling this satire! How about ‘silly strawman argument’? Can you please elevate the conversation by talking about the important underlying issues? 1/x ‘Growth at any price fails the fairness test’

Here’s a starter list: upside-down demographics; failing gov’t in spite of unsustainable spending; wanton money printing; the productivity paradox; 15 yrs of anaemic growth; rising inequality; living in denial … ‘growth, growth, growth’ is one solution; what’s yours? 2/x

It’s a good article @Dannythefink but the plan doesn’t have to add up (does any politician’s?) to be good policy because it could still constrain the state, incrementally grow the economy and increase revenue (relative to a statically scored budget) w/o 100% paying for itself.

Liz Truss’s growth plan will only add up if she wins a mandate for deep spending curbs to match her promised tax cuts | ✍️ @Dannythefink

You could reframe it in another way too: supply side tax cuts are an ‘investment’ (a concept politicians have devalued!) in growing the size of the economy relative to the state. Even if the economy and state grow at the same rate you are in effect constraining the state.

While too much of Defence is hollow, spending in haste before we have absorbed the lessons of Ukraine, and analysed how we will defeat the threats of the future, could well result in an expensive lost opportunity. My article in today’s DTel…
