This from the OBR is potentially a serious problem for Reeves and Starmer. It says that real household disposable income will be 1.25% lower at the start of 2029 than it expected in March, before the election, with 85% of this fall "explained by policies announced in this budget"…
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to…
This morning, I really thought 'well, this is a fun anecdote that it is a good opportunity to use, and will have absolutely zero afterlife'. Shows what I know: ft.com/content/a47ce1…
Well…blimey! I think this could actually be the point when the Tory party ceases to be a movement contending for government. Lib Dems now have a very serious responsibility and opportunity to fill the gap. This is our moment.
Conservative Party Leadership Election - 4th Round Result: Badenoch: 42 (+12) Jenrick: 41 (+10) Cleverly: 37 (-2) James Cleverly has therefore been eliminated. Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick progress to the member's vote.
“It is time for honesty. Erecting trade barriers against our largest trading partner was always going to make us poorer. Ideally the party should admit Brexit was a mistake, apologise & move on” — Former adviser to Chancellors Javid and Sunak in @ft on.ft.com/4dTTCnd
Classic Mr Scruff selection (and tea anecdote) @huwstephens @BBC6Music and I liked the gig shout outs for the weekend ahead. Sound idea for this slot I'd venture.
MP decries kangaroo court that victimised Boris Johnson
This message needs to be repeated loudly and often. Brexit is ONE OF the causes of the pain that will be felt by everyone as austerity bites. To turn things around, it will be necessary (but not sufficient) to join the single market and customs union. We need to face reality.
“Without Brexit, we wouldn’t be talking about austerity this week,” Michael Saunders tells me in his first on-air interview since leaving the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee. Says it’s not just the City of London but the whole UK economy that’s been damaged by Brexit
I wouldn’t mind them being so awful if they were at least a bit bright. Sunak is going to regret this appointment so much. And quite quickly.
The funding of the ERG comes from the taxpayer. It’s a lobby group within the Conservative Party - payed for by us, but secretive and unaccountable.
'I turned round to see that my every move had been watched very carefully by Her Majesty the Queen.' Former PM @theresa_may reduced the whole House of Commons to laughter with a story about the Queen and some dropped cheese during a weekend at Balmoral. itv.com/news/2022-09-0…
What an exceptionally beautiful thing this was. Thinking of the entire family at Balmoral 😔
New Education Minister, gives a middle finger salute to members of the public outside Downing Street. If there is one image that captures everything that is wrong with this Government- it’s this.
The reason the UK will have the lowest growth in the G7 next year is Brexit. We're not going to reverse the decline until we begin to remove the barriers - economic, social, scientific - that we chose to erect with the rest of our continent. That's not rocket science. Just say it
Under this Tory government, Britain’s growth has ground to a halt. And they are too distracted by their own failings to deal with it. Labour has a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis and build a stronger, more secure economy.
I'm waiting at customs in Heathrow, having paid £700 to get our equipment in & out of the country. We are off to Italy. Before Brexit there was no charge & no customs delay A real world example of Brexit making things more expensive, inefficient, difficult & less enjoyable
Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide
Law Society warns @DominicRaab's new Bill of Rights wd "grant the state greater unfettered power over the people, power which would then belong to all future governments, whatever their ideologies.” #WaughOnPolitics on the Govt's pattern of power grabs inews.co.uk/opinion/boris-…

Boris Johnson may think he’s Henry VIII, but his own MPs are tiring of his power grabs
As the PM 'takes back control' from MPs as much as Brussels, he risks gathering power for power's sake
