@GuidoFawkes No doubt paying a big re-entry bill whilst simultaneously paying the EU exit bill. At what point does a UK govt learn not to uselessly spunk away other ppls money?

In the face of an energy crisis, the Chagos Negotiator prime minister will now - for no reason at all - manage Britain's reentry to a bitter and vengeful bureaucratic bloc that itself has a massive energy shortage. #labour #thick
Ed Conway@EdConwaySky
The problem with casting a closer relationship with Europe as the solution to the world's current economic malaise is that it kind of misses the point. The key problem at present is a shortage of ENERGY. Europe has an energy deficit. Up until 2022 it filled that gap with gas from Russia. Now it fills that gap with gas (and oil) from the US and Middle East. It swapped one dependency for another. We can debate whether that dependency is inevitable, the extent to which it's a function of geology and/or political decisions taken years ago. Regardless, right now Europe is highly exposed to the problems in the Gulf. And without US energy imports it is in BIG trouble. A closer relationship between the UK and the EU does not solve this conundrum.

❗Doubts are swirling over both Tuchel’s technical wisdom and his ability to motivate this team
❌ Tuchel led England to a first-ever defeat to a team from Africa, and now to their first one from Asia
🤦♂️ Bleak realisation dawning that Tuchel no closer to forging a collective identity than when he started

@LeonardBriscoe3 TBF to Lammy, the big risk in jury trials is getting a far right adjacent jury having the wrong opinions and giving incorrect verdicts.
English
The trouble with all of these is that they rely on people, they assume that people have the intellect, upbringing and content of character to do the right thing.
People like Keir Starmer and David Lammy have these qualities, the public don’t.

Local elections - cancelled Jury trials - scrapped Mayoral elections - cancelled Im sorry - but this is a dictatorship If an eastern country was scrapping elections and fair trials - they would be called a dictatorship This is what this is

@ShippersUnbound Financial institutions should be up in arms about such market abuse. But then again she didn't touch them in the budget in return for new jobs in Birmingham and canary wharf so she gets away with it.
English
No one in the real world will rightly give a stuff that journalists were misled. Though I don’t ever recall such behaviour ending well for any of the govts I’ve covered. But workers will care that THEY were misled about the need for tax rises to pay for a benefits bonanza
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford
BREAKING The OBR says it informed Rachel Reeves as far back as ***September 17*** that the downgrade in productivity forecasts was offset by 'increases in real wages and inflation'. The deficit was in fact just £2.5billion By October 31 that deficit had turned into net positive of £4.2billion. That basic forecast did not change from that point So from what the OBR is saying it looks like Rachel Reeves and the Treasury were briefing ahead of the Budget that there was a £20billion black hole in the public finances that didn't actually exist The £30billion worth of tax rises in the Budget are predominantly a consequence of her decisions to increase public spending, particularly on welfare, and have £21.7billion worth of headroom As @Peston @PippaCrerar @hzeffman have all pointed out, it makes the Budget build up - and the narrative that big tax rises were coming because of a deterioration in the public finances - look frankly surreal in hindsight

@afneil @BBCr4today Sounds like BBC bosses need to go on an Unconscious Bias training jolly
English
Interesting to watch from the outside.
Efforts to make the BBC live up to its duty of impartiality (on Trump, Transgender issues, Gaza et al) are met with the BBC unleashing its flagship @BBCr4today show + allies elsewhere in the Left media to smear it all as an ‘attempted right-wing coup’ of the BBC (which only proves even the BBC is not immune to ridiculous conspiracy theories).
If efforts to improve impartiality (without which there is no future for a publicly-funded BBC) = right-wing coup in the eyes of leading BBC editors and journalists then the impartiality deficit is even more systemic/fundamental than Michael Prescott’s damning report on BBC bias indicated.

@JohnRentoul @SamCoatesSky if you are part time 4 days a week and get £40k pa you are a "working" person, but work 5 days on the same job and get £50k you are "non-working". Does Labour just pull words randomly out of a hat when making announcements?

This is what happens if politicians try to make words mean what they say they mean

@soppystern I remember Ruth Lawrence's dad accompanying her to all her seminars/ lectures in the mid 80s, but then again she was only 12!

I find it exhausting that university applicants now tend to bring their parents with them to university open days (generally encouraged to do so by the universities).
But, while I was delivering a recent training course to one university team, one of the participants explained that, six weeks into the current term, they have a student whose mother is accompanying them to every single lecture and seminar.
We have lost the plot.

@spectator Has any recent uk politician not weaponised grievance? Labour are past masters at it
English
Steve Reed, Secretary of State for housing, communities, and local government, accuses Nigel Farage of weaponising grievance and tells Michael Gove that Labour would 'localise' politics in Britain's forgotten towns so people's voices are heard.
Does the party have what it takes to win back voters' trust?
