I am now waiting to hear what the moaning back bench @teamlabouruk.bsky.social MPs will now moan about.

I’m sure they will find something for the Right Wing Press to then jump on to beat Starmer up.

Starmer could have scrapped child benefit cap last year - why did he wait?
Keir Starmer has always said he wanted to end the benefit cap but the money was not available - until now.

I am struggling with those saying that p/mile EV charge will deter sales of EVs.

You won’t be able to buy a new ICE car from 2030 so you will have no choice but to buy EVs from then so how will the new p/mile charge deter sales & most EVs are bought by companies due to tax saving & running costs

I generally interpret an area with a mass of St George flags as an intimidating police ‘no go’ area.

If that is not the intention of the flag hangers then that is a communications issue created by the Far Right’s use of the flag & the flag hangers should communicate their opposition to its use.

Nathan Gill aggressively refusing to answer a simple straight question - is #NigelFarage a #RussianAsset ?

#ReformUK #PutinPuppet
Reform love free speech while being perpetually offended any time someone asks them a very basic question.

It's a curious paradox.

Why doesn't he just laugh and say, "Of course he isn't" instead of getting so cross.
‘Is Nigel Farage a Russian asset?’
‘Are you seriously asking me that?’

I see that the #OBR chief has ‘launched an investigation’ into its #Budget ‘error’.

Of course that has nothing WSE to do with the chief wanting to hang onto his salary for a few more weeks whilst he looks for a job.
November 26, 2025 at 3:56 PM
#OBR error is very serious

I expect sackings and / or very senior resignations

The buck stops at the top.

Another good reason to avoid USA.
Don’t encourage the Home Office - they’ll implement a £5 tax every time a foreigner looks at the Green Belt.
The Interior Department has announced it will charge $100 per head for non-US residents to visit the most popular 11 national parks.

Stupid and self-defeating. Millions have visited those parks and left with with affection for America. No more, except those who can afford $400 per family per park.

Sounds like common sense to me given the strain on public finances, case backlog and the courts. Hope they can find enough judges / magistrates

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pretty obvious that #ReformUK have something they wish to keep hidden.
Reform UK is increasingly using SLAPPs and other forms of legal intimidation to try and suppress negative coverage of party leader Nigel Farage and other Reform politicians.
Reform’s ‘Trumpian’ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media
Ultimatums sent to publications appear to intensify as Nigel Farage’s party rises in polls

Throughout history the terms that we now see as offensive were originally defended as ‘banter’.

Of course @thetimes.com knows this.
Bossy headline from The Times letting Farage insist his “Hitler was right” racism was just ‘banter’.
If that were true, his politics now would be different and he’d apologise. He’s defensive because this is what he is and always has been and he’s angry with us for knowing that and for minding.

#Rubio is lying. There’s a shock
Oops! Ukraine not involved. It was originally written in Russian which neither Witkoff nor Trump speak. Europe also not involved. And Putin has now disowned it. Those secondary sanctions on Russian oil that Trump promised for 21 November - totally vanished.
The White House said that Rubio and Trump envoy Steve Witkoff worked on the widely leaked 28-point US-backed peace proposal for a month, with participation from both Russians and Ukrainians.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.

Take great care @churchofengland.org

Being viewed as aligning with Far Right fascists is not a good look. It could well drive Christians in England back to catholicism and Rome.
