I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief. I want to pay tribute to Alaa’s family, and to all those that have worked and campaigned for this moment. Alaa's case has been a top priority for my government since we came to office. I’m grateful to President Sisi for his decision to grant the pardon.

@Keir_Starmer Maybe just maybe find out the problem..

Violence against women and girls is a national emergency. We're introducing dedicated referral services in every part of the country and trauma-informed care for children. These changes will make sure victims and survivors receive the reliable support and specialist care they need.

There's a line every Chancellor knows they cannot cross: you do not invent a crisis to plunder the public purse. Rachel Reeves didn't cross the line – she erased it. The facts are clear. On 31 October, the OBR told her she had £4.2 billion of headroom. No black hole. No fiscal cliff. No looming disaster. Yet on 4 November she strode out and spoke as if Britain were teetering on collapse, as if some unseen storm had torn through the nation's books. She talked of "difficult choices," of "consequences," of a shortfall she knew was fiction. That wasn't a slip of the tongue. It was a deliberate lie. She didn't raise taxes because she had to. She raised them because she wanted to. She froze thresholds, dragged almost a million more people into higher-rate tax, and cooked up the biggest stealth raid in modern times. All of it hidden behind a phantom crisis. The black hole was political theatre, designed to shield a welfare splurge aimed at pacifying Labour's restless backbenches. The story of a collapsing budget was nothing more than an alibi, and a clumsy one at that. Once you strip away the noise, the truth is plain: Reeves lied to the public so she could tighten her grip on their money. She even blamed Brexit, the Tories, inflation, global instability – anything except her own choices. And when the OBR published the timeline that exposed her, the Treasury lashed out, accusing the watchdog of breaching some sacred "private space." It was an act of panic. The OBR didn't breach anything. It blew the whistle. The only thing the Treasury wanted to protect was the lie. A Chancellor's authority rests on trust. She signs off every tax a family pays. She shapes the numbers that steer the markets. When that figure misleads the country about the state of its finances, the entire system is tainted. Every forecast becomes suspect. Every Budget becomes theatre. Every future tax rise is greeted with the question she fears most: what are you hiding this time? You cannot run a credible economy when the Chancellor has debased her own currency – the truth. Even Labour MPs can see it. Graham Stringer says the whole justification for the pain has melted away "like snow on a spring day." Others mutter that "it all looks a bit odd." When your own side begins edging away from you, the dam has already cracked. Kemi Badenoch is right to call for her resignation. Mel Stride is right to say she misled the country. And the public – those who will now pay more on their wages, their savings, their pensions, their fuel – can see the pattern for what it is. This isn't a one-off error. It is the first real glimpse of how this government works: panic the country, raid its pockets, and hope no one spots the join. Reeves didn't inherit chaos. She manufactured it. She should go. If she stays, it tells Britain that dishonesty is no longer a scandal in government but standard practice. A free people cannot accept that. A country built on plain dealing cannot live under a Chancellor who treats truth as a prop and the public as marks. Reeves should resign because the office she holds demands honesty, not stagecraft. And because a nation cannot build a future on a lie. "Reeves didn't inherit chaos. She manufactured it. She should go. If she stays, it tells Britain that dishonesty is no longer a scandal in government but standard practice."

This will be a tough weekend for the Chancellor. She knew almost six weeks before the Budget from the OBR there was no ‘black hole’. Yet she and the Treasury still stoked up the idea that there was — and it would take big tax rises to fill it. By Oct 31 she knew from the OBR there was actually £4bn headroom rather than a black hole. Yet still on Nov 5th she commandeered breakfast media to roll the pitch for big tax rises. Even by mid-November she was telling the BBC if Labour stuck to its manifesto commitments (ie no income tax rises) she’d need deep cuts to capital investment. None of what she said in the run up to the Budget was true. The Treasury select committee needs to ask her why she so misled the Parliament, the markets and the British people. She raised taxes to give herself some more headroom and to pay for yet another increase in (largely welfare) spending. The tax burden is going to all-time record level for a simple reason: the Labour manifesto said public spending would be around £10bn higher than Tory plans by 2028/29. In reality on the latest projections it will be £179bn higher!!! Nothing to do with filling in black holes.

& she only said what we were all thinking

To help them get elected, Labour told a lie. This is the story of one of the biggest deceptions in British politics.

$400 to someone who guesses correct score

BREAKING: The Office of Budget Responsibility has ‘accidentally’ published the entire Budget BEFORE the Chancellor has delivered it. Ironically, this is the most irresponsible Budget act ever perpetrated, and just about sums up this clueless Labour government.

Is this due to angry middle-aged white men putting up flags as well @GNev2?

5 Undervalued Tech Companies In a market reaching new all-time highs this year, driven primarily by the tech sector, several strong technology companies remain significantly undervalued despite holding dominant positions in their industries. 1. $PATH - UiPath 5-year performance: -75.5% UiPath’s automation models are trained on billions of workflow interactions, giving it an expanding proprietary dataset that new entrants cannot replicate. Its platform stands out as the only fully AI-native RPA ecosystem, seamlessly integrating RPA, process mining, generative AI, and agentic automation within a single low-code/no-code environment. This unified approach enables end-to-end hyperautomation without external tools, dramatically reducing complexity and cost for enterprise clients. UiPath’s Automation Fabric integrates across thousands of enterprise workflows (ERP, CRM, HR, etc.), making it extremely sticky once implemented. The company continues embedding GenAI into every automation process (“Clipboard AI,” “Autopilot for Developers”), reinforcing its leadership as AI-driven automation demand accelerates. Since launching its AI-powered automation suite, UiPath has supported nearly 1 million agent runs and over 170,000 process instances, with 450+ customers actively building and deploying AI agents, clear evidence of early adoption and real-world validation. The global RPA and intelligent automation market is projected to reach $30 billion by 2030. If UiPath captures even a modest share, its automation revenue could grow 3-4x over the next several years, yet its stock still trades near all-time lows.

Update: She lied.

ARE YOU ACTUALLY WINDING US UP? @SkyNews Interviewing an Illegal Migrant Sex Offender!!!!! He sexually assaulted a CHILD !!!!This is unforgivable!!! Absolutely shameful!!!! How low can MSM go ???? @pinkladies_uk @GBNEWS @TalkTV @RestoreBritain_

SAY HIS NAME: Wayne Broadhurst. A binman. A husband. A local lad who tried to help — murdered on his dog walk. His alleged killer? A 22-year-old Afghan who came here illegally in a lorry, then granted leave to remain by our own government. No coverage on ITV. No candlelit vigils. No lectures from politicians about “the epidemic of violence.” Just silence. Wayne deserved better. Britain deserves better.

It really is mental
