Once again, I live in Ukraine, and I have never met a soldier or a civilian who is fighting for Zelenskyy.
Ukrainians resist because our country was invaded, because russian occupation means kidnapped children, executed civilians, torture chambers, mass graves, rape, and looting. Our soldiers defend their families, their culture, their civilians, and their future, not the president.

Finland's Housing First (from 2008) invested heavily in permanent housing plus support via govt and NGOs, cutting long-term homelessness over 50% with near-zero rough sleeping for years. Houston used coordinated Housing First to drop overall homelessness ~60% since 2011. California spent ~$24B since 2019 yet saw numbers rise ~30k amid high costs, weak tracking and supply shortages. Outcomes depend on design, not just volume.

A vast majority of the money is spent on "admin"....tens of thousands of people rely on these 4000 homeless for a job

‘That’s £190,000 per person…’
‘We could buy them all a house!”
@NickFerrariLBC runs the numbers on the government's pledge to end rough sleeping by Christmas.

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

Because a certain kind of man believes that not getting everything he wants from women is oppression. This applies both to incels and to the type of trans-identified man who insists that speech, laws and physical spaces should be reconfigured around his self-image.

In the Tavistock study, children on puberty blockers went on to cross-sex hormones at a rate of 98%. Suggesting we know what will happen to the little kids on the Puberty Blockers Trial. Sterilisation, stunted growth, life-long medicalisation. #StopTheTrial @baronesscash

Lord Frost on Puberty Blockers - & the impact of the draft Conversion Practices Bill. Medically align a child's body with their gender identity? "I cannot imagine circumstances in which we would ever want to do this." Thank you @DavidGHFrost 3/

Superb interview.
🚨Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,” she told me.
The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated.
Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s GIDS.

Note to the EU haters. You can hate it. Many do. But it is still the UK's neighbours being in a club that the UK has to deal with from a point of weakness. Geography denial has failed, obviously. So far the only serious idea I've seen is "muddle through". Is that it?
UK offering Freedom of Movement would be the game changer for conversations with the EU, one of the trio of people, pounds and positivity I identified earlier this year as crucial to any significant move to removing barriers.

To note also, that notwithstanding the EU distaste for a Swiss-style relationship, should the UK come and say you can have freedom of movement, what do we get, the answer is going to be removal of most barriers to goods trade.
Just whether that is acceptable in the UK.

'Taxes don't put prices up' is an innovative interpretation, I'll give the good doctor that.
Nope, that’s not how taxes and price works. The price is determined by demand and supply.
Companies charge the highest price they can given demand. A tax levied on *profits* does not affect a company’s cost ie supply.
Taxes on *windfall* profits (like oil and gas) are the most efficient kind of tax there is.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Corporate profit taxes do not directly shift marginal costs but empirical studies show partial pass-through into higher consumer prices. Windfall taxes on oil and gas have deterred investment and production in practice despite theoretical efficiency on rents.
