Could we perhaps legislate to prevent hostile related features of the vehicles from being added by manufacturers? Maybe include hostile checks in MOTs.
Big changes for Birmingham city centre! 🚧 We’ve installed hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) bollards and upgraded CCTV at strategic locations to keep everyone safe in the city centre. These measures stop hostile vehicles from entering pedestrian areas, so you can enjoy the…
A massive 1 in 8 businesses appear to be confident enough to claim things will be better for them in Jan 2026. Well done Chancellor! Amazing!
13% of trading businesses reported their turnover had increased in Nov 2025 compared with the previous calendar month - broadly stable with Oct. For businesses with 10+ employees, 19% reported their turnover had increased - down 6 percentage points over the same period.
If AI-driven actors can be as good as the best, then the concept of actor-brand goes. Same for music. But live performance will still be the thing. At some point robotic actors will tread the boards though. And every city can see whatever show they want, the same evening.
BREAKING: Actors vote to refuse digital scanning on set as concerns grow over AI Equity members voted overwhelmingly for the refusal, which could have big implications for the UK film and TV industry trib.al/rirODCp 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube
Those smelly EVs, choking up the London air.
From 2026, drivers of electric cars will have to pay £13.50 per day of congestion charges when travelling in central London Managing director of electric car brand Polestar says this move from the government is "the wrong message at the wrong time"
As expected, the Bank cut rates by 0.25%, but it was a close call (5-4) with "subdued economic growth and building slack in the labour market" as key factors. In other words, the weakness of the economy and mounting job losses offset worries about inflation. Not much to cheer...
Maybe I’m missing something but please explain: how can a fall in the inflation rate in November be ‘a result’ of a Budget that didn’t happen til the end of November? Has Labour mastered time travel?
Really good news for the cost of living and a result of the decisions made in the budget.
BREAKING: 38 Labour MPs sign open letter urging the PM to drop proposed plans to do away with some jury trials. I have pleaded with the PM not to march us all up the hill to be marched back down again. Many more MP’s, not on this letter, have said they will rebel if necessary!
For all those celebrating the ERB, just remember that to get the rights, you actually have to get a job - which has now been made considerably harder. Future stats will be telling.
Justice delayed is justice denied, but summary justice is no justice at all. The Government's decision to scrap jury trials is an attack on one of the foundations of our society 👇
No doubt all those workers who do not hold stocks will be delighted with this news.
Something every British patriot should be proud of. Not sure why celebrating the success of our key markets has driven the level of right wing venom it has on my feed. We should all be proud 🇬🇧
Our Chancellor doesn’t know how inflation works. She says here it’s ‘fallen’. Prices have not dropped. They have RISEN by 3.2%. The rate of INCREASE has eased however it’s still 50% higher than the Bank’s target.
I know families across Britain who are worried about the cost of living will welcome this fall in inflation. But there is more to do. That is why at the Budget we froze rail fares and prescription charges and will be cutting £150 off the average energy bill next year.
How about pay nothing. Then our students go over there and spend money in their economies. Or, they pay us.
Sorry, these costings for Erasmus are nuts. Membership for the *first* year of Erasmus will be £570 million and that already includes a 30% “introductory discount”. We paid £296 million in 2019. Some discount…
It’s not just about farmers. It is all business owners. The policy is a disaster and misconceived.
I spoke up for farmers in Parliament yesterday. Labour Ministers sat there laughing - all whilst farmers watched on from the public gallery. This is the level of disrespect our farmers have come to expect 👇
Morning David Lammy. Another day, another 75 courtrooms sit completely empty while victims wait. Will you open them? Will you put judges in them? Can we hold rape trials in them please? Might it be an idea to do this - rather than restrict jury trial for thousands of people?
📈Today, 17 December 2025, 75 out of the 516 Crown courtrooms in England & Wales will not be sitting. That's 15% of them. #courtstats #CS17122025 courtstats.co.uk
An example of an MP not understanding basic economics.
Very welcome news on inflation showing a marked decrease which will ease prices for consumers and business. It is way below the 11.5% peaks we saw under the Sunak @Conservatives when country entered a recession. Its means better value for the money in your pocket. ✅
For people in secure jobs the ERB makes no discernible difference. For those trying to get a job, the legislative sludge will now make it even harder. This is why the ERB was opposed. Let’s watch the job figures and see what happens.
The Tories and Reform HATE WORKERS. At EVERY STAGE of the EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS BILL they tried to block it. But they FAILED. We EXPOSED them. We BEAT them. We HAVE DELIVERED it. THE greatest CHRISTMAS PRESENT working people could ask for!! That’s the DIFFERENCE with LABOUR. 🌹
Employment Rights Bill - Top tip: Always read the statute or ask a lawyer to explain it. There will be lots of misreporting, including claims by politicians, of all sides, which will be wrong in law.
Not quite. And not what Labour promised. Tip: Always read the statute - it cuts through the propaganda and misreporting.
This is the difference with Labour. ✅ A ban on exploitative zero hours contracts ✅ Sick pay from day one ✅ A ban on fire and rehire ✅ Stronger family leave
65 Labour peers didn't turn up. One even joined the exodus to live in Dubai. That's why you lost the vote, Angela. You can't even get your own Lords to vote for this dreadful Bill.
33 Tory hereditary peers voted against the Employment Rights Bill last week. We lost the vote by 24. That could mean some of the lowest earners will not get statutory sick pay this April. We must pass this Bill without delay.
