This Labour govt has already fucked its advantage over its predecessors on improved EU relations. The new reset will be a failure. And the govt will blame Europe because it’s shite.

Got 3 wrong.

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

So the immediate effect of abolishing stamp duty is that house prices rise, with a disproportionate benefit for people in £10m+ homes. Abolition would literally be handing them £1m+

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

Labour's clearly inadequate plan for government was evident within weeks. So, wahey, Kemi Badenoch does even less and it is a great speech? Come on folks, this isn't serious politics.

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company, PPE Medpro, has just been ordered to refund the Government £122m from a PPE contract. There are two very odd things about PPE Medpro that may affect the odds of the Government ever getting that £122m... Thread:

This is Robbie Williams waxing lyrical about how *he( is treated in Israel - and how it 'annoys' him to be used as part of a 'narrative'. It echoes what comics are now saying about being part of the Riyadh Comedy Festival. So disingenuous. It's not about how *you* are treated - it's how others are.

Another hero that does not wear a cape. Please share to show this paperreading constable that should get a clue by doing this to an completely peacufull young lady.

Yes. That was always there. But ownership of British press was big factor & its outsize impact on the BBC. Other outlets did some great work but the lawsuit stopped all reporting dead. And it’s why the correct response to a SLAPP is a) protect your journalist & b) keep going.

Ooh, ooh, I know, I know. It won’t!

Obviously, anyone who talks about an "open borders experiment", whether Syed or Starmer, is talking arrant nonsense. But, had it actually happened, to describe it as "statism" (rather than libertarianism) is just doublethink. Beyond stupid.

Yes it does.

The major political parties, broadcasters, and institutions should all leave X. It's an extremely dangerous disinformation machine, and staying there only legitimises it and the chaotic agenda of the richest man in the world. Who is a raving fucking lunatic. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I have a feeling the digital ID stuff will burn Labour badly. Logic: 1. A lot of people hate the idea. 2. A lot of people who don't hate the idea "in theory" will hate the specific way that Labour have chosen to frame it all about immigration. That doesn't leave much potential for happy people.

Aside from the lack of history, decentralisation, constitutional protections and that the UK has a winner-takes-all political system, The Home Office is institutionally predisposed to abuse any system it can, and government procurement means it is highly likely to be disastrously implemented.

There *are* good things about digital ID, but as an enforcement mechanism for immigration, as something that can be *demanded* rather than something you can use to enforce your rights, it’s a recipe for a whole range of disasters. 10/10

I should have mentioned: most European countries, including Norway, have constitutional protections for privacy that prevent (or at least reduce the likelihood of) the possible abuses. We don’t.

Next, do not assume ‘digital’ means error-free - rather, it means that people in enforcement will assume there are no errors. ‘Computer says no’. This is a patten repeated again and again. 5/10

That in itself is a recipe for discrimination, intimidation and worse. Remember who will be enforcing this, and their record on racism, bias, unfairness and incompetence. This last part matters, because if enforcement is biased, then errors will also be biased. 4/10

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Oh great, just reading that a key part of Labour's next relaunch will be "reindustrialisation". Because the manufacturing fetish has worked so well elsewhere. Demonstrate you don't understand a modern economy in one easy step.
