There was absolutely NOTHING in the Chancellors press conference to suggest income tax was going up.

That was the media.

Again.

Going into it believing it was going up a coming out of it repeating the claim.

I never thought it was going up before & didn't think it after.

I am so fed up of the anxiety raising media style reporting these days. Susanna Reid who I used to rate is the worst culprit. Can we get back to good honest factual reporting on items which matter please.

Whilst I don’t agree with some of the things the BBC do, I don’t want to lose it. It does a lot of good work as well as some stupid things. But at the end of the day it is our BBC, no one else’s

I mean, what kind of legal action would this be exactly? Defamation? I would truly love to see it. 'They made it look like I instigated a coup during my very well recorded coup attempt.'

Musk has used thousands of replies and quote-tweets to massively boost the audiences of pro-Russian accounts on X.

He is working with Putin to destroy democracy.

🤣 Badenoch refers to Reeves speech as a “waffle bomb” Rich coming from someone who constantly waffles!! But what a silly word for the leader is the opposition to use!! Rigby doing a good job at challenging her.

Good speech by Reeves, nice to hear explanations - now waiting for the only takeaway by the media and opposition to be “income tax”.

The perfect answer to the question - what if people with money leave to avoid tax - tax them on the way out. More importantly - does this mean some kind of wealth tax is coming in the budget - I mean you don’t need an exit tax if you don’t have a wealth tax….do you?

Oh, look at this - the letting agents apologise for NOT applying for the rental license & say Rachel Reeves would have been under the impression the license HAD been applied for.

Can we have the apologies now from everyone who have been absolutely obnoxious today in their handling of the story?

Johnson did not care.
He had set out in early February 2020 #GreenwichSpeech that he wasn’t going to take Covid seriously … despite everyone seeing what was happening in Italy 🇮🇹 Johnson refused to control our 🇬🇧 borders and in mid March still *thought* Covid was … mild.

Whoa! I missed this!

Retail sales rose by 0.5% in Sept but were expected to shrink by 0.2%.

That is 0.7 points better than expected!

It's the 4th month in a row they have increased and are now the highest since July 2022.

Growing retail sales are positive & suggest economic growth is likely.
Retail sales the highest in three years in a surprise to economists
Computer and telecommunications retailers did well as the iPhone 17 launched in the month.

What were the headlines prior to Plaid's Caerphilly win? "Reform on course for historic victory!!" What are they now that Reform was not only defeated, but crushed? "Labour suffers historic loss!!" Which may be true, but where's Reform? Tell me again the UK media isn't pushing the Far Right agenda.
