Tory-run Slough has “lost track” of 500 people living in temporary accommodation, meaning it underestimated its spending by £10m. It blames staff turnover and incompetence, and a new IT system; but while the blunder was spotted in October 2024, officers have only just fessed up to councillors.

I wonder how many free meals Farage is handing out over this Christmas? I wonder if he is working as tirelessly for his local community?

Farage had to come out hiding early because Tice tried to defend him earlier & libelled the target of Farage’s vicious anti-semitism. Rarely have two people deserved each other more.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

And that's it. Overall impressions are
- there's still a surprising lack of detail
- lots of new work for officials but unlikely to lead to much change on the ground
- refugees will still live here rest of their lives but will struggle even more than before to integrate

Could prob accept some pretty draconian small boat policies if there was a genuine safe route policy alongside it. So far we have no details at all.
