    Starmer’s digital ID plan is in meltdown. The public are against it, and companies like Palantir see rumours of their involvement as a reputational risk. Unusually for a ceo to disavow the project on ethical and democratic grounds. Quite an interview.

    Sweden has just ended restrictions on all over-70s - saying the cost of loneliness and isolation is greater than the risk from the virus. My @Telegraph column on what Britain can learn:

    Funny hearing Brexit blamed by companies who say they can’t find staff. What they mean is can’t find staff at the old, low salary levels. Adjusting to our new economic circumstances means paying people more. Painful, perhaps, but long overdue.

    This is an appalling, illiberal development - a solution without a problem. Tories trying to gerrymander

    If someone regards a trans woman as "a man who claims to be a woman" should they be allowed to say so? As editor of The Spectator, I published Gareth Roberts making this point. IPSO, the press regulator, has censured The Spectator for doing so. Its ruling is outrageous and
