Im sure it won't be on the front pages of the tory press

Badenoch's master plan.. No more increases in the minimum wage and work for pennies...

I knew Philp was an oleaginous bastard but not that he was quite this much of a fool.

Going to be fun watching them try to figure out a way to say "oh we didn't mean dual citizenship with a white country" without sounding like massive racists.

I want my kids to be able to do whatever they want, not have it mandated by some out of touch politicians trying to placate an online fan base

Oxfordshire County Council is “urgently reviewing” its use of X, formerly Twitter, as a result of “very recent news regarding Elon Musk and his use of his platform”. Devon, Southampton, and Warwick councils have all recently quit the platform.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

Great idea not to mention that the entire saving was made in the year ending March 2025, two months before Reform took over.

The Tories should never govern again

Brutal attack on the decision to leave the EU from the leader of the L̶i̶b̶e̶r̶a̶l̶ ̶D̶e̶m̶o̶c̶r̶a̶t̶s̶ Conservatives.

The UK and EU countries should summon the American ambassadors and tell them to mind their own bloody business

Otherwise we follow the lead of the abysmal Remain campaign of 2016, life is terrible unless we reform which we probably can't so vote to stay in the EU...

The likes of @telegraph.co.uk will never admit to their readers that Brexit was instigated by the likes of Putin

More evidence of how the interests of Putin and Musk align...

What Reform and their cheerleaders really want is a sycophantic media where impartiality means only agreeing with them!

Bbc QT debate about immigration.. BBC - We will have panellists and an audience with a wide range of views including Zia Yusuf of Reform Ltd for the 3rd time in a short space of time Reform Ltd and GB News - its a disgrace to have 2 refugees to hear from them their experience of the asylum system

Farage is a coward and a grifter! He refuses to answer media questions. They may be getting Tory defectors but Farage is in deep political trouble. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#bbclaurak The media + newspapers went after Angela Rayner in order to get rid of her, they tried to get rid of Jess Phillips + now they are trying to get rid of Rachel Reeves.There is a pattern here against women.She isn't perfect but the budget we just had was the first good budget in a long time.

Scrapping the two-child cap is both anti-poverty & pro-learning. Children don’t come to school ready to learn if they live in poverty. Teachers can’t focus on teaching if they’re plugging gaps elsewhere. What goes on outside the school gates makes a big difference inside them.

Badenoch utterly terrible on Sky News this morning. Just whining incoherently

It's genuinely hard to find the line in Reeves' speech that would justify the claim she told "lied", a term that has traditionally had a precise meaning. If she "maintained the perception" that tax rises were necessary and coming then - on £4.2bn of headroom pre-measures - they really were...

"Rachel Reeves will have to resign because of the markets" is apparently the new "Labour will need an IMF bailout because of the markets".

YOU WANTED NET IMMIGRATION TO COME DOWN! THIS IS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE!

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.

narrative shift: "Democrats flipped over 50 county legislative seats across the state. Republicans flipped one." www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Rather unusual for a chancellor to be told to resign for not increasing taxes as expected in light of better-than-expected revenue forecasts.

@bbcnews.bsky.social and @skynewsrss.bsky.social with breaking news that 'Labour U-turn on giving workers Day 1 rights against unfair dismissal' Failing to explain that.. - The 2 year current period is still being changed to 6 months - It was changed as a result of business and unions consulting

The front page of @thesun.co.uk is inaccurate and a total lie This is the ridicolous media this government is up against

It takes, what, half a million children out of poverty? What better value could possibly be had from the money?

I'm hearing criticisms of the end to the two child limit, because it was done just to mollify Labour backbenchers, at a cost of £billions. I remember another govt delivering a referendum on EU membership, just to mollify restive backbenchers. That's costing way, way more... A little perspective?

The UK has become a significantly higher tax and spend country and Reeves made a far more explicit case for that today than last year.

Flashback to Labour’s 2015 manifesto: “a Mansion Tax on properties worth over £2 million”. Torsten Bell a key player then and today.

A good day for Ed Miliband: mansion tax introduced, green levies moved off bills to taxation, ban on new North Sea oil and gas licences confirmed.

Lest we forget... 🤦‍♂️

Ummm....i had forgotten about this..

If Farage had just admitted, apologised and repented his teenage racism - water under the bridge. But the fact that he has denied the truth and maligned those saying it NEARLY FIFTY YEARS ON, indicates to me not only his untrustworthiness, but that these antisemitic beliefs are not so historic

This guy is a crank. Unfortunately, he’s in charge of public health for our country.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism". These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Zia Yusuf is a gullible, clueless, thin-skinned mug: -Oswald Farridge is a Putin-fellating Russian stooge -Oswald Farridge will happily throw Zia Yusuf under the bus at some stage without giving it a second thought

How tetchy....

Speaking to Labour MPs tonight, most seem pretty happy about the Budget. Relief, plus delight at the two child benefit cap being scrapped. One showed me their local CLP whatsapp group popping off with happy members and offers to help canvassing. Which they'd not seen for...a good while.

Several non-London MPs pointed out to me that almost no one in their constituencies would be affected by the Mansion Tax. It's a clearly redistributive policy - largely moving wealth from London to council areas outside the capital. Easy sell for Labour MPs outside London (prob. even within tbf).

This chart of course is one you won't see in UK Media. It shows that under Labour, UK Government borrowing is down vs Tories, & will decline rapidly over the course of this Parliament due to Labour's common-sense Budgets & the fiscal rules Media were desperate for Reeves to drop.

For the benefit of the half dozen readers who don't yet understand: "Gilts" represent the cost of Government borrowing. When the Gilt market panics, due to thinking the Government is incompetent, reckless or irresponsible, the cost shoots up. When they are happy, the cost drops. Good Budget today!

Badenoch calling for Reeves to resign shows how the Tory Party are an unserious party and unfit to govern any time soon

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

Badenoch's response was like having the snidest Richard Littlejohn Daily Mail piece, read out by a foghorn.
