The way to deal with this is to get Reeves to resign - or be sacked - and get a new Chancellor in with a ‘fresh slate’ to make the tax rises required on the richest to stop further cuts on the poorest.

Right decision to scrap the proposal to freeze PIP. It’s not a Labour thing to do. My concern is, however, that this idea was left to linger in the air, like a stale fart, with Kendall only reaching for the Febreze after enough people smelt it. Poor comms.

I find it bizarre that the usual suspects and client journalists always feign their surprise/outrage when Labour restates its position on the EU as if it has never been said before or is a new policy.

Wondering what those Americans who abstained in voting for Kamala Harris to get one over “Genocide Joe” thinks about this.

Can’t believe some people are angered by Labour’s position on the EU. It’s almost as if they had not read the 2024 manifesto or been around for the last several years.

I assume those who sat out the election to get one over ‘Genocide Joe’ are happy with this decision?
The Trump administration abruptly canceled flights for thousands of refugees already approved to fly to the U.S.

The decision leaves refugees who have completed a lengthy process stranded abroad and facing extended separation from loved ones already in the U.S.

Please spare me the tears from Americans worried about Trump. Yeah well. More of you should have voted then. But you thought you were being smart abstaining to teach ‘Genocide Joe’ a lesson as well as protesting about the price of milk in Michigan. Fuck off.

Former Tory MP Aidan Burley (Cannock Chase, 2010-2015) has joined Reform. His most prominent moment was his tweet-critique of the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony as 'leftie multicultural crap' which he later said had been misunderstood. He did not seek re-election in 2015
