Funny how these Brexit boys end up living in an actual chateau .... who'd have thought
‘Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he had ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.’
Great work from @BBCWales. Keep going

The BBC are Reform enablers latest
Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news.
Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters
Down by 140k isn't thought to be.
Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

I mean, we get it. You want white, middle-class children and nothing else. Just say it instead of going round the roundabout of pretending you aren't a racist, up-yourself bastard.

OK I forecast that Farage will simply switch to 'that's still a Luton arriving every year'. No fall in migration is big enough for them.

Caught about 20 secs of Badenoch's response to budget speech yesterday (I refused to listen at the time) & genuinely appalled at how low the Tories have sunk. Are crass sneering ad hominem insults really the best they can do? Embarrassed that this woman is allowed anywhere near public office.

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

It's almost like much of the mainstream media and right wing press has an agenda, isn't it.
New net migration figures at 930am.
Net migration fell half a million to 344,000 in 2024 from 848k in 2023
56% of people think it went up last year
17% think stayed the same
14% think it went down
2025 figure to be lower again
16% expect that
38% think it will be up
31% about the same

On Sky Politics Hub, the whole budget was framed as if somehow the most consequential thing was the OBR accidentally publishing figures an hour early. There are 50 things in there more salient to viewers. I see no way to justify it editorially, other than to construct a hostile narrative. Poor.

Vanguard is an asset manager with $11 trillion under management.
And thanks to the budget, they’re adding to UK Government bond exposures.
It seems “Rachel from Accounts” has done very well re market sentiment.

Sky have gone big on Government 'slashes' cash ISA allowance. I've pointed out to my OH that from next April she can only 'save' £1,000 a month tax free because of Reeves ( the grinch) budget. As my OH only earns £10,000 a year she's not that fussed.

The lifting of the two-child benefit cap is a huge victory for campaigners
I've been reporting on welfare issues for a longtime now, and the two-child benefit repeatedly comes up as one of the biggest drivers of poverty in the UK
Many children's lives will be transformed by this change

Badenoch's attempt at a rebuttal is being substantially undermined by all UK assets moving up on the day. the reality is they were cheap vs. peers and there hasn't been a disaster vs. very low expectations:
