Thanks for all the kind words on my Radio 4 interview tonight on the economy!

Vital to ask about this idea of "radicalism" - radical is actually what this Labour Government are doing.

Protecting the interests of the super rich over people and nature.

Will Snell of @fairness.bsky.social assesses the UK Budget:

“Failing to increase capital gains tax rates and leaving the top tax rate on dividends untouched meant that the very rich were let off the hook”.

Somehow this got missed off the "Benefit Street" front pages today
70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

Is Farage still the racist bully he was at school?
“there’s a substantive case that Farage did change. He’s seen the strategic necessity of maintaining a clear boundary with the far right”
Cynical political manoeuvring should not shield him.
So yes, he still is.

This Labour government should have scrapped the two-child benefit cap on day one.

Instead, it chose to keep hundreds of thousands of children in avoidable, grinding poverty for a year-and-a-half.

I’m proud to have lost the Labour whip and left the party that has overseen this performative cruelty.

Budget 2025

One lesso: organise, inform, campaign, protest.

UK Govt wasted 18 months, condemned millions of children to poverty. Today govt announced end of the two child benefit cap.

7 MPs had Labour whip withdrawn for opposing the cap. For 18 months Ministers defended the stupid policy.

They picked the building deliberately… and they knew exactly how many bodies they wanted.

And the timing?
