#COP26 is not about climate. It's about asset stripping middle and working classes through the vehicle of carbon reduction. All it will achieve is poverty and enslavement

"Do you feel comfortable with that sort of approach from Nick Timothy?"
"No."
Sir Andy Street, former Conservative West Midlands Mayor, responds to the Shadow Justice Secretary describing a mass Muslim public prayer in Trafalgar Square as an "act of domination".

We have spent £180m on plans for a tunnel under Stonehenge.
The project is now scrapped.
You can be for a tunnel & think spending is a good idea (even if you think the cost of planning is silly).
You can be against a tunnel & think spending is a bad idea.
But *nobody* can be for spending on this scale with zero result.
And yet that is a peculiarly British outcome.
Nobody will be reprimanded. Nobody will see their career affected.
But that’s £180m of taxpayer money just wazzed up the wall. Totally without repercussions.
Multiply this by airport expansions & train route plans and Thames crossings and power stations and other examples you can think of yourself, and… soon you’re talking serious money.

@PippaCrerar Given they've broken every single manifesto promise, I can bank they will definitely campaign to rejoin.
Horrid.

Most senior Labour figure yet to openly call for party to put rejoining EU in next election manifesto.
Will others now follow? (Very few even say this privately - but it’s a long time until the next election)…

EXCLUSIVE. For the first time, @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan asks @Keir_Starmer to not only “rejoin the EU Customs Union and the Single Market this Parliament”, but also to “fight the next general election with a clear manifesto commitment: a vote for Labour means we would rejoin the European Union”, without a second #Brexit referendum. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 Full interview - with many other topics - tomorrow in @repubblica

@FraserNelson Again - imagining Angela Rayner (who didn't know that she had to pay tax) doing any deep fiscal and economic analysis to offer policy direction is - to be charitable - science fiction.
English
Significant story. Suggests a Rayner premiership would use OBR criticism to do more borrow and spend - on grounds that it would pay for itself.
Problem is that no other forecaster sees it her way. Nor would the markets

Exclusive from @breeallegretti Angela Rayner has privately criticised the OBR and suggested that Labour has 'over-corrected' in the wake of the Tories In a private call with City investors organised by BNP Paribas she said that the official forecaster had failed to recognise the benefits of increased public spending Rayner attacked the scoring methodology used by the OBR, which measures the expected cost and growth gains of government policies to calculate the amount of fiscal headroom, based on the chancellor’s rules She said that the government's drive to build more social housing was considered a cost without any recognition of the social benefits She argued that the OBR is 'preventing' the government from greater public spending because it 'doesn't account for the returns' properly Expect this to be a growing fault line as the elections in May approach thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@angrydadd @BurnsideWasTosh @somersetlevel Funny enough, that's what the top floor of my house is. And one bedroom is now an office.

@RadiumChaser @BurnsideWasTosh @somersetlevel Been saying that to my Mrs for a while. My kids move out fairly soon. If the bedroom tax comes in I’m knocking the whole upstairs through…
One bedroom for us. Large as fck, but still only one 😃👍🏻

I bought 90 cubic metres of firewood - 2,000 litres of diesel for my little Honda generator and enough Barolo and Habanos to last me until 2029.
Now I need to buy guitar strings and a few legs of Jamon Iberico and a couple of wheels of Parmesan.

Abortion up until birth. Assisted dying might be next. Neither were in the Labour manifesto. No mandate for either.
The next parliament will need to repeal every abhorrent law passed under this corrupt government.

@BurnsideWasTosh @somersetlevel They will charge you bedroom tax soon - wait it out.

@somersetlevel Add in the "mansion tax" and it will cost me £8,500 a year to live in my house. £19k of gross income. Might just get on with it and turn it into an HMO for Sudanese rapists now.

@AllisonPearson I am trying to find a reason why this is needed.
I can't.
Can someone help me understand?
English
I feel so sad that a pregnant woman can now take an abortion pill and stop the heart of a 35-week gestation baby.
Most people think that’s murder. Too many MPs and Lords are fine with it.
Most EU countries have an abortion limit of 12 weeks.
Britain is in moral decline.
David Frost@DavidGHFrost
I voted last night against the prospect of a new law allowing self-administered abortion up to birth. Sadly we failed to win the votes against this abhorrent practice, which will now become law shortly. It is deeply shameful that our country has gone down this awful road. Thank you to @DavidAltonHL and so many other colleagues who led this fight. This particular battle may be over (for now) but the campaign continues.

The real story is the sharp increase in unemployment among 18-24yo men - to a staggering 17.2%, up from 16.1% in last month’s data.
It was 13.8% in a comparable period a year ago.

@bigpicturepol Agree.
They could - easily and quickly - turn on North Sea gas and shield us from this shit but no, they won't. Even temporarily.
It's diabolical.
there should be no bailouts.
English
I'm going to pull my hair out if they announce another huge 50bn+ energy bail out. Surely they can't.
People are going to have to put a jumper on. That's the bottom line. Whatever happened to the British stiff upper lip?
Next up, consider whether you really want this idiotic government setting UK energy policy!

The Spectator@spectator
When Nick Timothy posted a critical comment on X about the recent public Muslim prayer in Trafalgar Square, which included the participation of London’s mayor Sadiq Khan, opinion split quickly. Many thanked him for articulating what they felt others were unwilling to say, while others responded with sharp criticism. In Britain, we fiercely protect freedom of religion, and any criticism of someone else’s faith can easily be smeared as discrimination or inequality. It’s not in our nature to do so. But Nick Timothy did not do that. He represented a widely held concern that many ordinary citizens have, and went some was to explaining why they have it. ✍️ Jonathan Sacerdoti Article | spectator.com/article/feelin…
