📺MUST WATCH: Former Cabinet Minister, 85-year-old John Gummer (Lord Deben), brilliantly & movingly points out the problem with the assisted suicide Bill: it changes the way we think about old age. People are “always valuable”, even at the end of life. He hopes the Bill fails.

We don't need the state to do this. Parents can feed their own children. TAX THEM LESS, and REWARD HARD WORK. That's your answer.

More and more farmers and local farm shops are using social media to sell their food. Fair play to them, because it’s bloody hard out there with supermarkets who pay them pittance for their food and a government who punishes them.

First time I’ve managed more than 5 mins of QT in years. An aged Kenneth Clarke clearly hasn’t lost any of his mental faculties, intelligent and polite. A reminder of times when politics had many statesmen and intelligent people of integrity. Look at the shitshow now.

Well @SteveBakerFRSA predicted everything which is happening now because he understands the basics of economics.

Outgoing politician speeches are often piercing and insightful. This one from July 2024 is 🎯 especially on house prices and the economy. I recommend watching, to the end.

So the point of the BBC in your view is to stop Farage/Reform. Can you explain why the 30%+ currently telling pollsters they plan to vote Farage/Reform should, by your logic, continue to pay their licence fees? How can the BBC claim to be impartial and yet be tasked by people…

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be a chance for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and not give in to those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it. We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

This is why the BBC never changes. Because when it’s caught being manifestly in the wrong, its establishment friends come rushing to its defence and claim it’s the victim of smears and unjustified attacks.

NEW - Lib Dems @EdwardJDavey writes to Starmer, Badenoch and Farage urging them to defend the BBC. “President Trump’s assault on the BBC is a serious threat to our national interest, and I urge you to join me in standing up against it.”

Probably the most clarity I've heard the issues around #JeffShi and #Fosun at #Wolves discussed on a big outlet 👏🏼👏🏼 #wwfc


Just wonderful.

The King's Guard, famous for never moving, just knelt and broke all the rules. The 6-year-old boy, Tom, had been waiting all day for this moment. His dad had promised him he’d see the "real-life toy soldiers." But in the massive London crowd, Tom got separated from his parents.…

I find it unpardonable that Ryanair has refused to refund Stephen Crean , 61, who couldn’t take a flight to Austria to watch his beloved Nottingham Forest due to his mutiple knife injuries incurred courageously saving the lives of passengers on that Huntington train. Ryanair…

The removal of Progress 8 is a damning indictment of Labour. This is the *best* measure of not just progress (obviously), but also measuring the extent to which schools lift students out of economic disadvantage and into opportunity. Social mobility. Resign @bphillipsonMP.

Apparently not. @bphillipsonMP is unfortunately determined to ruin our schools and the life-chances for the poor. They are lowering standards big time. They have just been clever at hiding it. 😫

Having to deliver a justificatory prelude to her Budget later this month ought to persuade Rachel Reeves that she was wrong to postpone the date. It is damaging to confidence. And the nearer to Christmas, the more grinch-and-scrooge she becomes. Not helped by having all the…

Damning indictment of the state of the British economy there from Rachel Reeves. When she catches up with whoever's responsible for managing that economy there'll be hell to pay.

IF I GET DEMENTIA….. I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things. 1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Dad - it’s Amanda.” NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety. • If I…

The unfairness of this beggars belief. The subsidy to the 6m will not come from general taxation, which is broadly progressive, but from the energy bills of other households, many of whom are not that much better off than those getting the subsidy. Interesting he doesn’t tell us…

We’re determined to tackle energy affordability for families. This winter, nearly 6 million households will receive £150 off their energy bills through the Warm Home Discount. If you're eligible, look out for a letter telling you what to do next. 👉 gov.uk/government/new…

The Office for Budget Responsibility has told the chancellor it will cut its productivity predictions by about 0.3 percentage points. Long overdue. Every 0.1 percentage point reduction in OBR’s medium-term forecast adds between £7 billion and £9 billion to the level of…

Mad Ed Miliband will soon be a busted flush. A new report by the Scottish TUC concludes that for every £1m spent on wind power in Scotland just ONE job is created. That’s right. ONE job. Hot air indeed.

I have moved from being shocked and disappointed at the Treasury to being angry. I spent some time with an elderly client today who is confused and distressed over what to do, and a huge portion of responsibility for her upset rests with unprofessionalism from the Treasury.…
