🔥 MUST WATCH: Andrew Neil RUTHLESSLY RIPS APART Andy Burnham’s Big “Devolution Revolution” Plans! “The fundamental problem, which is the opposite of what Mr Burnham is proposing, is that in Britain, as in many western democracies, government has got too big, tries to do too much, and as a... consequence it does almost everything badly! And if anybody can come up with a correlation or, even more important, causation between devolution and growth, I’d like to see it! Because I see none.” “If devolution meant economic growth then Scotland and Wales would be economic miracles. Instead Scotland is becoming an economic backwater and Wales has consolidated its position under devolution as one of the poorest regions in Europe. So where’s the correlation?” Something tells me Mr Andrew Neil isn’t buying these grand devolution plans at all, and he’s got one or two questions he’d like to put to the PM-in-waiting 😂show more

Really glad someone has made this chart. Lands a point I was making the other day. We've got to prioritise higher productivity growth in England's big cities—if national and regional leaders can make that happen then we will transform the whole country's economic prospects. Higher GDP isn't everything, but it's the foundation for everything else that matters, which is why this govt is focused on it and the Chancellor is leading on a bold plan for devolution and regional investment.

I volunteer to take up Hon. Rigathi Gachagua’s challenge. Let’s compare what devolution money (equitable share) has done in Wajir for the 8 years I have been a governor with any county of his choice in any region. Rigathi is free to pick any agency (governmental or non governmental) that is able and willing to do this comparison.For the differential in allocations we will appropriately prorate. As to whether devolution should have equalized kenya in 13 years that is a debate for another day. But you will agree with me that neither the tarmac road to his village nor the electricity connection of his wamunyoro home to the National grid is attributable to devolution. And one other fact Check: Rigathi has NEVER visited Wajir County as a DP. Let him say which date and where in Wajir County.

This is brilliant from Andrew Neil tearing through the BS on Burnham’s ridiculous “No 10 in the North”: “He’s gone to Manchester to deliver this speech, to show that London doesn’t dominate everything and that he’s going to spread power around the country. But he’s not going to take questions because he’s got to get back to London, which is the capital and where the power is. It’s all performative nonsense.” Says it all. Can’t face questions up North because he’s desperate to bolt back down South. The hypocrisy is unreal. Neil slammed it as purely symbolic, admitted everything will still run through London, and finished by saying Burnham needs to “grow up” because jumping from Manchester mayor to PM is a totally different job. Burnham ducks questions at every turn. He’s hiding from scrutiny for a reason. I’d love to see him sit down with Andrew Neil, but we all know that will never happen. His premiership would be finished before it even started!

Here are 3 ways that the current system screws over Wales. If politicians are not talking about these issues, they are not serious about fixing Wales' problems. ---------- 1. The Welsh Gov has less borrowing powers than a council. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Wales can only borrow £150m a year (and £1bn in total). That is the equivalent of just 0.57% of our budget. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland can borrow £450m a year (and £3bn in total). This makes it really hard for Wales to make big investments like building hospitals and schools unless we use super expensive funding models like PFI. The worst thing is, Scotland's borrowing rates have increased with inflation every year since 2016 whereas Wales' have been frozen! ---------- 2. Wales’ can’t even spend its own money If Wales makes good financial decisions and has money left at the end of the year, it is only allowed to carry over a very small amount. The total the Welsh Government can have in the reserve is £350m. While that might sound like a lot, it really isn’t in a government context. The Welsh Government’s budget is £27bn. This means that the Welsh reserve is just 1.35% of its budget. And that £350m isn’t per year, that is the total it can carry. This means that if the Welsh Government reserve is full, then any money that isn’t spent is just taken back by the Treasury in Westminster. What makes this system even worse is that the UK Treasury has imposed limits on how much of its own reserves Wales can even use! Of the £350m Wales can only access £175m a year. Scotland has a reserve of £700m AND it has no limit on how much of that it can spend. Plus yet again, Scotland’s was linked to inflation whereas Wales’ wasn’t. There is simply no justification for Wales being treated differently to Scotland. The UK Government isn’t able to get away with treating Scotland like Wales because the Scots wouldn’t stand for it. ---------- 3. Rail Because rail is devolved in Scotland, when the UK Government spends money in England on rail, Scotland gets extra cash. Scotland gets billions of pounds in extra funding because of HS2 (which is only in England). But because rail isn’t devolved to Wales, the Treasury can class HS2 as an “England and Wales project” meaning Wales gets nothing. It is worse than that. Because HS2 is counted as a Welsh project, it stops Wales getting extra money in the future because on the spreadsheet it looks like Wales has already had investment (even though it all went to England). ---------- You could have the best politicians in the world in Cardiff Bay but they still couldn’t fix Wales’ problems because the tools at their disposal are not fit for purpose. The challenges Wales faces are not because of immigrants, they are because the system of funding we have is set up so that we can’t fail to fail.

Poland’s conservative President Karol Nawrocki tells Maria Bartiromo that Poland is thriving. Not just because of economic growth, but because they REFUSED to make the same two mistakes as all of the other countries in Western Europe. “This economic growth of Poland, which is noticed by all the countries, not only in Europe, but all over the world, is very radical.” “Poland also safe and secure, which is important. We did not make the mistakes about illegal migration, which affected west European countries.” “And we’re not going to repeat these mistakes.” “We do not want to make mistakes of Green Deal, which also has an impact on the economic life.”

Blueface opened up about whether he is still beefing with DJ Akademiks, saying he doesn’t see Ak as someone he has beef with because everything he says and does is only for content👀 “The way he moves is like less encountery with the people he talks about. He’s more like a come around if he has control over the environment—when it comes to snitches and people that were PC in jail and not be a tough as me, I really don’t get too threatened to beef or be like I wanna do something to you. I see it as content.”

They’re not hanging about are they? A full cabinet… a flurry of policy announcements…a speech from the Chancellor and a tour of all four nations by the Prime Minister. No time to sit in a dark room, pour a stiff drink and recover after the general election campaign. And to be honest, you can see why. The incoming Labour Government has built almost their entire economic strategy around one thing: growth. If you ask them how on earth they can improve public services without putting up taxes or breaking their fiscal rules, this is the answer they give. Growth. The problem is… it’s quite hard to get growth. You can’t just click your fingers and it comes. And it’s unpredictable. It’s a bit like when I try and follow a recipe… I put in all the right ingredients but I’m never sure what’s going to emerge at the end and what it’s going to taste like. It’s the same with growth. You can do all the right things… but a big international event, or an unpredictable national crisis happens and that changes everything. Every Government wants growth. But it’s not that easy. So you can see why Labour isn’t hanging around. Today Rachel Reeves is pulling out all the stops to try and get growth back into the economy. She’s bringing back housebuilding targets, overhauling the planning system, and ending the ban on onshore wind farms. And they need it to work. Because without growth, they’ve got a big hole in their economic plans. Video 👇

Do we need a Secretary of State for Wales? Andy Burnham has just named a new Sec of State for Wales. Jo Stevens the previous one has resigned and has been replaced by Stephen Kinnock. But what is the Secretary of State for Wales? And should it even exist any more? So the Welsh secretary is supposed to be the “voice of Wales in cabinet”. The idea is that they can advocate for Wales inside the UK Government. But for a long time, it’s just as often been the voice of the UK government in Wales. Here is a bit of an explainer:

Annie Jacobsen on How the Government Plans to Survive the End of America "What happens after anarchy is an actual government plan called devolution. The name devolution is unclassified. The program is classified. A secret government disappears off into a bunch of bunkers called hot sites, warm sites, and cold sites to hunker down so they can rebuild the government once everybody dies. It is a pre-chosen, predestinated list of people. Who is on that list is classified. How that list is determined is classified. The president does not get moved to a big bunker like Raven Rock or Mount Weather. He gets moved to a cold site, really far away, by himself. That's the end of democracy!" Annie Jacobsen

Marc Andreessen explains the 3 Necessities for Start-up Success: "The general criteria for a successful high-tech startup, in my view, you see different sort of rules of thumb from different people. But the three big things you always come back to are, is there a big market? And by the way, that comes in two parts. Is there a big existing market that you think you can go after and sort of displace incumbents or do you believe there will be a new market that will be big? So big market. Is there a fundamental technology or economic change that causes you to basically justify having a new company? And that's really important. And the way I always think about that is, is there a 10X change happening in the technology landscape? Is something 10X faster or 10X cheaper or 10X better? And if it's not 10X, we as both VCs and entrepreneurs, we really have to ask ourselves like, is it really worth doing? Because it's really hard. I mean, it's really hard to start new companies. new companies generally shouldn't exist. Existing companies are usually pretty good at what they do. And so for a new company to exist, it not only has to like come in and go into business and bring a product to market, but it has to bring a product to market that's so much better than what already exists that it punches through the sort of status quo. And most customers in most markets are pretty happy buying from the current suppliers and so there has to be a real kind of edge on the thing and we look for that in either a technology change, usually a technology change or an economic change. which are often the same thing. And then the third is team. Is the team outstanding? And if you think about this as an entrepreneur, it becomes a question of the founding team. Some companies are solo founders and they can work, but generally most of us, like myself, we're human beings, we're mortal. You want to have a founding team of complementary skill sets. And so you want to have at least one super strong technologist, quite possibly more than one. Some of the best startups are actually more than one founding technologist and then it often helps to have somebody who's like a product or who's a market or sales person or has a sort of really good understanding of business on the team, certainly helps a lot. And so we sort of look at market, product, and team. And the reality is you need all three. I would say, interestingly, if you're going to compromise as an investor, if we're going to compromise on one of those, it would actually be the product. And the reason I say that is because a great market is a lot easier to make up for with iterative product execution than a poor market. Because the problem with a poor market, a small market, is even if you do a great job on the product, there just aren't that many customers. It's hard to ever get big."

French Army General and Chief of the Defence Staff Thierry Burkhard Chef d'état-major des armées: "Russia is a lasting threat. The war in Ukraine is existential for Russia. And it is determined to achieve what it has set as its goal, or at least what Putin has set as his goal, with the ultimate objective, in military terms, being to weaken Europe and dismantle NATO. That is Russia's goal, it is Putin's goal. To achieve it, through the war in Ukraine, it has reorganized itself quite quickly and effectively, setting up a war economy that is now running at full capacity. This war economy, I believe, is currently one of the key factors keeping the Russian economy afloat. And so, there is no reason - and even a kind of impossibility - to abruptly stop this. This means that Russia will continue to rearm at this pace. And so, despite the losses it is suffering, the incredible losses it is suffering, we estimate that by 2030, it will once again be a force that will pose a real threat to our borders on the eastern flank of Europe. It is clear that what is at stake in Ukraine is, on the one hand, the security of Europe, but I also think that it is, in fact, the place of European countries in the world, in tomorrow's world, in the world that we are shaping today. And if the outcome in Ukraine were a Russian victory and a Ukrainian defeat, we often say that would be a Western defeat, I think that it would be, and is increasingly becoming, due to the American stance, something that would be a real European defeat. And this European defeat is something we would have to endure and absorb. So, Ukraine, of course, must be defended as such. And I think that defending Ukraine is also, in a way, about how we see ourselves and what we are willing to do to shape Europe as it needs to be in the future, and live in today's world. And you understand that, if that doesn't happen - to use an image that has already been used - we would become something like herbivores in a world of carnivores. And that's not a very comfortable position — being at the bottom of the food chain. So for that reason, we must remain extremely vigilant."

It is extremely sad that Northern Kenya continues to lag behind 13 years after devolution, not because of a lack of resources, but because leaders choose to take everything for themselves while leaving their people to suffer without schools, hospitals, or even basic infrastructure. Everything is taken to Nairobi, while communities are left in poverty, neglect, and hopelessness. We, as the government in waiting, are making a clear commitment to the people of Northern Kenya. We will right this grievous wrong. We will ensure that devolution works for you, that public resources are invested where they belong, and that no region is left behind. Northern Kenya deserves dignity, development, and leadership that puts people first.

Andy Burnham has styled himself as the champion of devolution. But Labour have just posted a video of him in Cardiff talking to the public where he makes commitments to changes in areas that are devolved to Wales. As Prime Minister he doesn't have the authority to directly change education, housing, business rates or social care. Clearly this is just a two minute video coving a two hour period. TBF at one point he does distinguish the "English social care system". But it's concerning that the man about to lead the UK isn't reflecting the reality of how the UK is governed in his messaging. If Boris Johnson had done something similar when he was Prime Minister, the then Welsh Labour Government would have been apoplectic.

As Prime Minister he doesn't have the authority to directly change education, housing, business rates or social care. Clearly this is just a two minute video coving a two hour period. TBF at one point he does distinguish the "English social care system". But it's concerning that the man about to lead the UK isn't reflecting the reality of how the UK is governed in his messaging. If Boris Johnson had done something similar when he was Prime Minister, the then Welsh Labour Government would have been apoplectic.

An ideal economy is one in which there is as much growth and prosperity and wealth creation, ideally in a balanced way that benefits most people, happening at the same time as there's not too much inflation. Both inflation and growth matter. I was recently asked to explain the concept of stagflation and how it relates to the monetary situation I believe we’re in, and I wanted to share it with you.

#WATCH | Cyprus: On PM Modi's visit to Cyprus, Manish, High Commissioner of India to the Republic of Cyprus, says, "I am trying to push the economic agenda between the India-Cyprus Economic Corridor. We have a policy to become a ‘developed India’ by 2047, and they have ‘Vision 2035’, so there is a synergy there, so we have to see how we can use each other’s strengths and work together to achieve them. I think Cyprus’ advantage is that it can serve as a gateway to the European Union as well as the larger region around it. Cyprus also understands that it has to work with India and it is quite evident that they are reaching out to India to build better relations, to focus more on economic issues, because they know that India is the fastest growing economy in the world. And similarly, if you see, Cyprus is the fastest growing economy in the European Union and they have their own advantages. We have our own strengths and advantages, so we have to work on every aspect of economic engagement…"

Elon Musk: If you wish to visit the grand cathedral of bureaucracy, visit EU headquarters in Brussels. “To be totally frank, EU headquarters in Brussels is essentially a giant cathedral to bureaucracy. So if one wishes to visit the grand cathedral of bureaucracy, visit EU headquarters in Brussels. I do think that Europe probably needs government efficiency more than the US does. And this needs to happen at the country level and at the EU level. And actually I think the job is more difficult in Europe than it is in the U.S. I think overregulation has inhibited a tremendous amount of progress and innovation in Europe.” WELT Economic Summit, January 28, 2025

China remains a developing country despite its progress China remains a developing country though it has achieved a miracle in economic growth and global trade gains, says Zhou Yongmei, Professor of Practice in Institutional Development at Peking University's Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development. Even as China's economy rises, its per capita GDP is only one-sixth that of the U.S., and there are differences in wealth across regions and between urban and rural areas. Zhou notes there is still much to be done to raise the overall development of the society.
