If printing money created prosperity, Zimbabwe and Venezuela would be world powers. The limit isn’t spreadsheets: it’s productivity, our economy and bond buyers' trust in our government. All of which are shot to pieces.

So this is where we are this morning. Keir Starmer's position literally is: a) Matthew Collins was asked to provide additional evidence on the China threat by the CPS. b) Collins failed to discuss this with either his boss, or Ministers. c) Collins unilaterally cut and pasted…
