ITV are now asking Farage about his schoolboy comments and Farage is talking over the correspondent and instead ranting about Bernard Manning and how Manning appeared on ITV in the past. This is all quite odd.

Feel like I'm going mad. The Budget's 'headroom' is based on frankly irresponsible and wildly optimistic claims about what Labour will do in the final year of the forecast, and on ignoring a bunch of upward pressures on spending, and the claim is that she was being exaggeratedly *pessimistic*?
Suggestion Rachel Reeves exaggerated fiscal pressures is absurd
