Morning Call: The dangerous relationship

1 week ago | morningcall.substack.com | Freddie Hayward

Good morning from Washington DC. It’s Freddie here. Westminster’s reaction to the Maga movement is bemusing. It’s as if the radio waves crossing the Atlantic get scattered, transforming President Trump into a Union-flag-waving royalist with a holiday home in Aberdeen. Thoughts on the US-UK trade deal below. Peter Mandelson’s brief grimace was the only sign the government knew the ploy was a stretch.
Morning Call: Who will win the fight for Labour’s future?

1 week ago | morningcall.substack.com | George Eaton

Good morning, it’s George here. Across Westminster, the political fallout from Labour’s election defeats is reverberating. Below I explore the renewed backlash against the winter fuel payment cuts and the dilemmas they pose for Keir Starmer. In 1976, as Harold Wilson announced his surprise resignation, Labour was wracked by questions over its future direction. A vivid new play, The Gang of Three, depicts the fate of a trio of modernising candidates: Denis Healey, Roy Jenkins and Anthony Crosland.
Morning Call: Would a wealth tax work?

1 month ago | morningcall.substack.com | Will Dunn

Good morning, Will here. Like a hungry passenger on an early Ryanair flight, Rachel Reeves has just been served a deeply unpleasant breakfast and she’s going to have to eat it. This morning’s fiscal gruel is served by the Office for National Statistics, which reports that the UK has borrowed £132.2bn so far this financial year (since 6 April 2024), almost £15bn more than the same period in the previous year.
Morning Call: What the public thinks about benefits

2 months ago | morningcall.substack.com | Will Dunn

Good morning, Will here. As George wrote yesterday, Keir Starmer faces a rebellion by Labour MPs, particularly those on the left of the party, who disagree with his planned changes to the benefits system. However, new polling by Ipsos, shared exclusively with the New Statesman, suggests the public is more conservative on benefits – though it might not agree with Labour’s plan to fix them.
Morning Call: The axewoman cometh

2 months ago | morningcall.substack.com | Harry Clarke-Ezzidio

Good morning, it’s George here. The last week has been dominated by foreign affairs but that has sharpened rather than ended Labour’s domestic dilemmas. Below I explore those confronting Rachel Reeves as she prepares to deliver her Spring Statement on 26 March. Rachel Reeves and welfare have a complicated history.
Morning Call: The return of the Americosceptic Tory

2 months ago | morningcall.substack.com | George Eaton |Harry Clarke-Ezzidio

Good morning, George here. In his 100-minute address to the US Congress last night – the longest in American history – Donald Trump declared that he was “just getting started”. Below I explore the new domestic divides that his presidency has already opened. Joe Biden’s presidency left no lasting imprint on British politics and culture. Labour embraced “Bidenomics” as a model of state intervention. Conservatives chafed at the president’s Irish sympathies.
Morning Call: Was Starmer’s Trump meeting really a triumph?

2 months ago | morningcall.substack.com | Freddie Hayward

Good morning from Washington DC. It’s Freddie here. My report from yesterday’s historic day at the White House is below. You would be forgiven for thinking that Keir Starmer had restored the “special relationship” of legend. He’d just finished his remarks in the White House’s grand East Room, when Donald Trump turned to him and praised his “beautiful accent”. It was already going well and then Trump made warm noises about a UK-US trade deal – Boris Johnson’s great chimera.
Morning Call: The Iron Chancellor’s steel dilemma

Feb 13, 2025 | morningcall.substack.com | Will Dunn

Good morning, and happy Bake Your Own GDP Narrative Day. The UK economy is growing! Sort of: GDP was up a whopping 0.1 per cent in the last quarter of 2024; BUT per-capita GDP seems to have fallen (BUT this is based on projections that will be revised); BUT real wages seem have grown; BUT business investment is down. So, if you’re on one side of the house you can claim the UK’s economy is stagnating, and if you’re on the other you can say that the economy has grown since Labour won the election.
Morning Call: Oligarchy in America

Jan 21, 2025 | morningcall.substack.com | Freddie Hayward

Apologies for sending a paid-for edition of Morning Call earlier today. The newsletter can be read in full below, and will continue to be free of charge in the future. Good morning from Washington. It’s Freddie here. As you wake up, the parties in America’s capital are only just dying down. Those I’ve met in the hotel lobbies and dive bars tonight are ecstatic. Donald Trump’s second term heralds a new age – but is it as revolutionary as everyone says? I’m doubtful. My thoughts below.
