In politics, you don’t get many days like today - when a campaign you have worked on for eight years finally wins. The 2 child limit is going, 1.6m kids will benefit and 450k will move out of poverty. Take a moment, everyone: we did this

If you complain that we need to stop sending money abroad to look after our own instead and then complain at the two-child benefit cap being lifted, they're a four-letter word beginning with c to aptly describe you.

So that three weeks of breathless nonsense was for nothing?? Thought so. Has anyone done a welfare check on Chris Mason? #UKPolitics #Budget #RachelReeves

You just can't win with some of these plebs.

"I don't like the budget. The Chancellor must resign." - Kemi Badenoch.

Two child benefit cap - gone! Online gambling tax introduced! Yes.

Reeves 1 - Polanski 0

Out of class just in time for the budget. Hoping for some good stuff.

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Nice to see the Daily Express reporting a Reform surge in London and a blow for Sadiq Khan as new polling shows Labour still with a ten point lead. Terrific journalism, as always. Knobs.

Ewww. Johnathan Pie being a text book misogynist. His reaction rather proves her point. She was aiming it at people like him, who make a living out criticising others without the credentials to do so. That aside, "sugar tits" is a phrase that makes me want to projectile vomit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is a crime. Political uniforms, a literal blackshirt.

I'm free on weekday evenings and the weekend if she needs a ride to the airport.

Shoutout to Greene King and their lack of Blue Light discount on Sundays :(

Tusk slips the knife in right at the end.

Britain has set a new wind generation record. "At 7:30pm on 11 November wind turbines...provided enough clean electricity to power more than 22 million homes" "Wind was delivering 43.6% of all power on the system which means three quarters of Britain’s homes were effectively running on wind alone"

Just seen someone raise a good point on Facebook. If the police commissioners are going to have powers transferred to to mayors, how will that work for Humberside police? Their area spans East Yorkshire and parts of Lincolnshire.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I can assure this person that Chernobyl is not healed, and there were a lot of efforts by humans to avoid an unimaginable catastrophe occuring.

BREAKING: UK’s response to Covid was “too little too late”. Acting faster could have saved 23,000 lives in England according to the public inquiry. Boris Johnson presided over a “toxic, sexist, chaotic culture” in No10, where rule-breaking seriously undermined public confidence.

So this is where we are in America: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has just stated that Trump does not want Democrat members of Congress executed.

Burnham could probably win any Labour seat in Greater Manchester. He's popular enough to beat the current polling. Not a chance in Norfolk.

One of my Year 7s told me off today for always printing things for lessons that we never end up using. Can't even argue she is absolutely right I really gotta stop printing so much

This is impressively accurate youtu.be/iRu0b9SNBbM?...

"unseat" lol

Went to a fancy event a few weeks ago. Just seen this picture of me with some of the others there- I do not own a suit that colour. Someone went out of their way to edit me to be wearing black

No, Shabana, the oligarchs, the media barrons, and the social network algorithms convincing everybody that illegal immigration is tearing Britian apart, is what is tearing Britain apart. Address the problem by all means, but your strategy is repulsive. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

I once waited on Boris Johnson at a dinner in Bristol. I poured some of the drip tray into his pint. It's the closest I've come to national service. You're welcome.

This is why I can't stand the hard left in this country. Why do people think that politicians of opposing sides need to hate each other? Do people not realise just how unhealthy that would be for democracy? www.instagram.com/reel/DQ_t3wz...

School a friend of mine works in had a lockdown yesterday. False alarm after a pupil was on the far end of the field and they thought it was an intruder. Hull Live reporting on it and apparently we never had school lockdowns before we opened our borders.

It's almost like forming a political party over the issue of Gaza and ignoring all other policy areas which the MPs disagree on was going to be a bad idea. Who'd have thought it?

Finally. A pointless post that in the past was adequately dealt with by councillors. Created by Conservatives because it was the only way they could win elections, on a micro-turnout where no one cared about the outcome.

One of my year 10s had her last day today. I asked her to come see my at the end of the day to say goodbye. She arrived with her best friend, both clearly had been sobbing. Managed to get one word into my goodbye and I set them both off 😭

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

There's an absolutely lovely teaching assistant at my school, but every day, at around 3:20, she pops into the training office and tells the four of us to get ourselves home, and we just dont have the heart to tell her we will be leaving at 4 at the ABSOLUTE earliest 😭

This is the Labour I voted for and the Labour I'll be voting for again.

If Liz Truss lives long enough, she might end up spending more days at the Cenotaph than she did as PM.

Hard fucking left? Please piss off 😂

Good luck with that. God the hard left is tiring. 😂😂😂😂😂

Hi Bluesky, God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny. Thanks, God

I love how much Truss hates Starmer. Proper reminder he made her look an idiot and then again… Everything she deserves. A reminder Starmer saw off Johnson, Truss and Sunak, and they hate him for it 🤣 but a reminder that even if he does go he’s already done what very few Labour politicians do.

Four suspended UK Labour MPs have had the whip restored today: Neil Duncan-Jordan, Chris Hinchliff, Brian Leishman, and Rachael Maskell. (Mirror)

Mission statement.

The world's largest offshore wind farm could boost the UK economy by £6.1bn, according to an economic report. Dogger Bank wind farm, off the coast of north-east England, will be made up of 277 turbines when it is fully complete in 2027. Better with Labour 👍

If I didn't live in California I'd move to Illinois.

Love how some people are so obsessed with this that they actually ignore the ones who do want to privatise the NHS.

These reforms sound great. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on such a clear win in New York. His victory shows that boldness and a story of economic change in the interests of the many not the few, defeats the politics of division and despair. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
