The OBR has one job to do once a year. This is pretty much like Santa forgetting that it's Christmas Eve and going out on the lash with the lads until 6 the next morning.

I like to hear from Llandudno's most famous son on this.

I know you've retired, but we still need you to keep Wales safe. I'm sure you will help keep the fascist out.

Disgraceful. I hope Reform MPs will kick up a proper fuss about this. He was merely exercising his right of (lucrative) free speech.

It would have been funny if justice hadn't been served though, wouldn't it?
Imagine Sarah Pochin going on about stolen elections but being actually right about it! We wouldn't have believed a word.
Then she'd probably have said something racist which would have made it all OK.

He really was gagging to show the visiting theocrat that he doesn't take crap from journalists, wasn't he?
He's never really matured past primary school level has he? And I say that as a bloke in his 50s who is very much stuck in year 11.

Backbenchers want nothing to do with this foul policy. Grassroots party workers want nothing to do with it. Typical Labour voters want nothing to do with it.
Leave picking on the most vulnerable to Reform and the Tories. Let's face it, they're better at it – they do it out of conviction.

John McDonnell has stuck to his principles for years. That's a lot more than you can say about the current Labour cabinet.
Sort of makes me wonder how much longer John and other MPs like him will stick it out.

Dunno. I like to know what fascists are saying. But not so much as I would be willing to go on Twitter to find out. I suspect I'm not the only one.
Therefore I regard people ople posting this kind of dross as providing a useful information service and not as amplifying the message.

Posting panicky messages on his rubbish Twitter knock-off, urgent meetings with Boebert, phone calls with Mace...
Did he never learn to play it cool as a kid? He really is the anti-Fonz at times.

Attacking the BBC while they think the going is good. Associating themselves with Trump is either merely collateral damage or a sop to the Reform voters here.
Maxbe I am giving them too much credit here though.

Cool. The next time I'm in a capital city and fancy taking a look at the inside of the parliament building, I'll just smash a window and wander about calling for the the country's vice president to be lynched. It's all part of my freedom of speech innit.

Nah. Gibb will want them to pay to make them look more culpable. At this rate, next week's QT panel will be Richard Tice, Robert Jenrick, David Starkey and token lefty Ken Clarke.

Getting attacked by Karoline Leavitt and Boris Johnson for the (mildly) disingenuous nature of an edit of a speech given by a fantasist and liar is like Stig of the Dump and Fungus the Bogeyman having a go at you for not putting on enough deodorant.

What does he want on top of passports and certifications? Do we have to cut the tip of a finger off and if the underlying flesh isn't red, white and blue in a Union Jack pattern we all get deported?

Reform represents a huge opportunity for the just above mediocre like Goodwin. If they forming the next govt he could end up becoming Home Sec just by being a bit brighter than their other MPs.
And then he's just a case of lung cancer or a really good Russian bribery scandal away from being PM.
