It’s good to see the media picking up these criticisms of Farage and running with them for a change, rather than brushing them off. May there be many more worrying days for Farage ahead

🚨🚨"Whatever the reason Witkoff is prolonging the conflict. He is not promoting peace. If this were a normal American administration, he would be fired immediately. But nothing about this negotiation, or this administration, is normal at all." @anneapplebaum.bsky.social's damning verdict on #witkoff.

Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

Isn't it interested how the supposedly liberal biased BBC is haranguing Labour for "tax rises on working people" due to freezing tax thresholds - but they didn't say the same when the Tories did this every year since 2021?!

Budget 2025 live: Households face 'truly dismal' rise in spending power says IFS
The chancellor extended a freeze on income tax thresholds until 2031 - meaning millions will pay higher rates - and also ended the two-child benefit cap.

NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

I'm doubling down in my view that other governments would have given broadly similar budgets and be castigated by the electorate as a result for not delivering the miracle that are promised but isn't available, and until you break that cycle on we go...
So this is also a continuity budget, there's quite a lot of austerity in non-protected departments, higher welfare budgets that nobody really knows how to tackle, lots of little bits of spending and taxes here and there, and nobody is really happy with the outcome.

You are looking at a scene of famous ‘double tap’ Russian drone hit firefighters in Sumy, Ukraine, when they were helping people after the attack - it was then that Russian drone attacked them, deliberately, for the 2nd time .
