I often boast about being the national schoolboy public speaking champion in my youth. Just in case anyone at the Times, Telegraph, Mail, Spectator etc is preparing a humiliating exposé, I would like to clarify that it was the 1988 English Speaking Union National Schools Public Speaking competition.
Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

It’s under fire from left and right – but Labour’s workers' rights bill is a huge achievement | Polly Toynbee

Do I think Reeves' numbers actually add up? No. Do I think Chris Mason owes her an apology? Yes. And further to that it would be good if he learned a lesson from this - it's not his job to decide who is telling us the truth, he is there to report facts.
Reeves did not mislead on challenges facing UK ahead of Budget, says OBR official

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

Funny how people were happy to put up with 14 years of austerity. Failed Brexit costing hundreds of billions each year. UmpteenPM’s and Chancellors. False promises. Yet just over a year in to fix all the above and we want them out. We had the fantasy economics of Farage and even that was ok.
