Andrew Marr opens the New Statesman party by saying of the last year of Labour government “friends, it has all gone really really badly. It has been terrible.”
He adds, belatedly, “nothing is irrecoverable”.

Interesting Fact of the Day: If Robert Jenrick were to catch 50 fare dodgers a day, recouping £2.90 each time for the taxpayer, it would take him well over 1,000 years to recoup the amount the taxpayer lost when he helped a major Tory donor avoid a £45m tax bill back in 2020.

Apart from the NFFO (fishing lobby) I can't see a single business/group that does not welcome the UK-EU reset. BCC, CBI, IoD, UK Steel, UK Hospitality, British Meat Processors Association, Morrisons, BAE Systems, Salmon Scotland(!), Port of Dover.

I just spoke with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. We’re both determined to strengthen the trade, security, and economic relationship between Canada and the U.K.
At this consequential time for our nation, partnerships with long-standing, reliable allies matter more than ever.

Kemi Badenoch mentioned how much the UK's debt interest is costing us. She's right, it's becoming a big problem.
And a very substantial portion of that debt was added to the UK government's balance sheet during the Conservatives' period in office.
UK debt 2010: £1trn
UK debt 2024: £2.8178trn

Honoured to lay a tribute at the opening of the Commons Garden of Remembrance and meet VC recipient Johnson Beharry.
I dedicated my tribute to John Astin, from Bierley, who in WW2 flew Photo Recon Spitfires deep behind enemy lines, and to all in Bradford South who have served.
