Having suffered relative pay decline for a decade or more I agree with Wes #Streeting.
#Doctors cannot expect to be paid as they were at a historic time. They have had a huge pay rise to improve their position. The Country and health of the nation cannot afford further selfish demands.

#Badenoch the #Press & #BBC are questioning the honesty of the #Chancellor. The simple fact is that our finances are shot and far from exaggerating, #Reeves was sensible to raise her buffer. The wind up merchants should grow up, stop playing silly games and help OUR government rebuild OUR country.

The Tories who created and used austerity as a weapon now blame the Chancellor for painting a too gloomy picture! It defies credibility and certainly shows that they didn’t suffer from austerity or Brexit!

Mmm. Does Trump have Russian connections? He certainly acts like it.

Reducing thresholds is just another way of increasing income tax. The Chancellor would be very unwise to do that - not least because it conflicts with manifesto commitments, but it’s also sneaky.

Goodness me. Israel flattened Gaza - it’s hardly surprising that hostages bodies are missing or hard to find.
President #Trump had better get hold of #Netanyahu by the scruff of the neck and pull it in.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social abolishing stamp duty is a foolish idea that will simply boost house prices and reduce government income. Absolutely barmy.

Where are the savings from abolishing Stamp Duty? House prices will rise and the Treasury will be poorer. Who are your advisers, #Badenoch?

House prices are determined by supply (restricted) & demand (considerable).
Abolishing Stamp Duty will deplete Treasury Income & fuel house prices. It is not a good idea and will aggravate the housing problem.
It would be better raising SD, not abolishing it.

#Kier needs to look at things differently but I do not think Andy Burnham is doing the Labour Party any favours. In fact he could kill it in the same way that Tory leadership challenges simply escalated their demise.
Labours good work is yet to ripple through - just give them a chance.

Andy #Burnham ‘s done a wonderful job in Manchester. Keir #Starmer has done a great job on the international front. But as I see it what they have in common is putting their big feet in the wrong place at a bad time.
Labour can’t afford internal fights. Labour must come together & start afresh.

And failing to follow scientific guidance simply to protect his pal, ‘injecting disinfectant’, Donald Trump would be laughable if it wasn’t worrying! Or was he just swanning about!
