@VicariousVillan @itvnews @ManCity I can tell you are not a City fan then! Both @ManCity times I had to pay BT Sport. Worth it though the 2nd time round!

@TimBaines1 @itvnews @ManCity That'll be because it was free to air you Muppet. This season is the first time it's hidden behind a pay wall. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

It strikes me as perfectly easy to have good relations with Trump's America
Just don't pointlessly send 1 guy with a Nerf gun to Greenland to pointlessly irritate him and impress your deluded Marxist mates.
He sees the world in a grown up way - not the way spoilt kids see it.

The small conveyancing firm that did Angela Rayner’s Hove house purchase say they gave her no tax advice — they’re not even solicitors and have no tax expertise.
The advisers who set up her trust (from where the Hove deposit came) say they were not involved in any aspect of the Hove purchase.
The tax barrister who said she’d underpaid stamp duty was only called in after the matter of how much she should pay became a matter of public controversy.
So from whom did the Deputy PM seek tax advice on the stamp duty she should pay on the Hove home?
English
In my view it’s clear @afneil . If she has written reputable tax/legal advice, based on the full facts, ie it’s good enough to sue them on, then she stays. Lots of us rely on that sort of advice. Anything else - she goes

I have tonight submitted a complaint to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office regarding Lord Justice Bean He should not have heard the Bell Hotel appeal I make this complaint in advance of judgment, because my concern is public trust and confidence in the Judiciary.

@IsabelOakeshott Don’t forget @IsabelOakeshott who DEFRA’s COO is? None other than @RachelReevesMP nearest & dearest Nick Joicey. Might explain why you can’t trust a word @DefraGovUK put out on this…..

What an insulting Tweet this is. You just royally screwed them. Now you say your “commitment is steadfast”?!
Defra UK@DefraGovUK
Food security is national security and the Government’s commitment to farmers is steadfast. We will never forget that farmers are the beating heart of this country. It's their hard work that puts food on our tables and stewards our beautiful countryside. #BackBritishFarming

@mortenmorland @thetimes Hi Morten great cartoon.
Sorry to say though that you forgot that when building the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Brunel ran out of money half way through and the project was stopped. Only completed after he died!

Exactly @tomhfh I’ve spent the last week in the Netherlands. Virtually no speed cameras/town traffic lights. Instead a clever combination of road markings, different road colours and surfaces, and small humps not only keeps speeds below UK, but driving slowly is a pleasure!

Yes exactly @ladylilo2 I stayed in pub/restaurant/hotel near Chablis recently and started talking to the owner. Since Covid it’s the worst situation he has faced in 30 years - he can’t get staff as they won’t do shifts. Now only open Fr/Sat/Sun - no connection to Brexit at all
Baroness Meyer, CBE@ladylilo2
I am in France and am struck how the French hospitality and retail industries are facing the same lack of staff as in the UK. Nothing to do with Brexit, but Remainers still can’t let go, can they?

Aren’t you forgetting that NI is also paid by employers @afneil and that was conveniently missed out. Now the IT cut is later and he doesn’t have to say why Ers NI (another jobs tax but via co’s) is not cut. It’s all a bit tricky for me - like Gordon Brown but in tight trousers
Andrew Neil@afneil
So let me get this right … Chancellor increases national insurance from next month by 1.25% … has same impact as income tax rise of 1.25% for most workers. Then says he’ll cut income tax by 1% in 2024 … don’t quite see the point …
