Singapore's then leader-to-be Lee Kuan Yew paid a visit to London. In a recent interview on the radio he told how he travelled to Piccadilly Circus by tube train, and as he emerged onto the pavement he stood and watched an unsupervised newspaper stall. He saw people stop and take…
Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground. Lawbreaking is out of control. He's not acting. So, I did.👇

Ever wonder why pubs are going bust and you’ve queried going out with your mates? It’s because THE GREEDY TREASURY and Prohibitionist lobby groups means YOU (🫵) pay 12x more tax on a pint than in Spain. H/t @Sacha_Lord for the graphic and numbers
The Inn I’m staying in doesn’t have a TV (or any audio equipment), which is very sound. But it means they’re not obeying the later opening hours :(

Meanwhile in Britain and almost 20 years later. We need to tear up the blockages to the planning system - it’s making us poor, unproductive, and relative economic luddites.
we have signed a deal for an additional 4.5 gigawatts of capacity with oracle as part of stargate. easy to throw around numbers, but this is a _gigantic_ infrastructure project. some progress photos from abilene:
Great to see @Telegraph now also covering the @ukonward Prosperity Package. The right thing to do for the economy - and popular with voters too👇 telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…
Britain is subsidising the no-hope lawsuits NIMBYs use to delay housebuilding and infrastructure. In this clip, Kent’s CPRE admit they probably wouldn’t have brought a lawsuit to stop a 160 home development if it wasn’t for the Aarhus Cost Caps.
Big thanks to @ASI and @JLPartnersPolls for their brilliant support. 📣 Labour peer Lord Mendelsohn: The Prosperity Package is “fair and modern”, and means the wealthy would “contribute to Britain, rather than just using it”.

A UK wealth tax sounds simple: "tax the super‑rich, fund public services" But it's not. Our 16,000 word deep‑dive shows revenues are fragile, it puts growth, investment and jobs at risk, and there's no revenue before 2029. Here’s the evidence:
The government spent £100bn last month. £100,000,000,000 Feel like you got your money’s worth?
The problem? Spending has exploded. The government spent £97.1bn in June, up 12.4bn 💷 The main causes for this? Debt interest +8.4bn Departmental spending +£2bn (due to pay rises and inflation) Social benefits +1.5bn
