Zack Polanski has Chancellor and Labour “Rattled”. That’s a cute use of the word ‘rattled’, what they really mean is scared and has them running for the hills.

Is the "If this is a million... then this is a billion" since Zack Polanski got some traction with it, now a thing? I just saw Richard Burgon do it with pasta.

Zack Polanski nails the reality: the gap between a millionaire and a billionaire isn’t “a bit more money” - it’s a completely different universe.
This is why taxing extreme wealth matters. 👏

They are terrified of how Zack Polanski is resonating with voters, especially young voters who have been so disillusioned by Labour. The infantile insults and so-called ‘jokes’ show just how desperate they are about Zack and the Greens. They know Labour is a lost cause.

Rachel Reeves is asked about how the 3p a mile electric vehicle charge will work for new cars, when they don't have to have an MOT for 3 years. So who will monitor the mileage in order to calculate the tax owed during that period?
Reeves doesn't know.

"Starmer says scrapping two-child benefit cap was ‘long-standing ambition’"
He literally stripped the whip from 7 of his own MPs just last year for daring to stand up to him not ending it then.
Does he think we're all stupid or what? And why isn't the media coverage mentioning that recent context?

Labour are so hopelessly inept that they're forcing through the least appealing aspects of Green and Reform respectively without delivering anything in return. So they've lost any and all attack lines they could have for either.

Labour's growing authoritarianism is deeply sinister.
This week, they've:
- Swapped judges last minute in the high-profile Palestine Action ban review
- Proposed removing the right of trial by jury for most offences
- Planned to abolish appeals in the asylum system
