It’s a big moment in the post #Brexit politics of #NorthernIreland. The Assembly is returning with Sinn Fein taking role of First Minister. facebook.com/share/v8kAwwFV…

Politics as demographics, very striking; the polling suggests the Conservatives are only ahead among the over 70s

It's a fascinating piece of research on post #brexit trade between UK and EU and non-EU countries

Interesting new poll findings from @IpsosUK from which IPSOS understandably headline #RishiSunak’s increasingly unfavourable ratings. But what really struck me from the research was how no political party in UK has an overall favourable rating. Ouch!!

If you’re interested in economics and why the #UK isn’t and hasn’t been growing as fast as it might, it’s really worth listening to this excellent and very accessible analysis from ⁦@PJTheEconomist⁩. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

#JeremyHunt laid out the British govt’s tax and spending plans ahead of an election due sometime in next 12 months or so. Mr Hunt said the economy had turned a corner, but the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast low growth and high debt. my report for @bbcworldservice

Final Reminder. Come and rock, sing and dance this Sunday night - and all for charity. If you’re in Hoxton area this Sunday evening, I have organised and am playing in a gig to raise money for Age UK and MIND. Great hits from the 60s to the present. ticketweb.uk/event/charity-…

Here’s my instant report for @bbcworldservice on Supreme Court ruling that asylum seekers can’t be sent to #Rwanda for fear they might be deported to their home countries without proper consideration of whether they are genuine refugees
