So the government that is on the side of working people doesn't want to make their lives easier? Add a sunset clause so that when the issues with test booking are sorted the limit comes back.

Of course he's boycotting the BBC, they don't pay him. It's more cost effective to send Yusuf on and make a few Cameos instead

Whilst I agree with the BBC decision, what criticism is this article actually based on? The only negative comment in the article is Clive Tyldsley saying commentators prefer to be in the stadium.

The problem is that the message seems to be that the entire public sector needs renewal (that is true) but there is no renewal happening in the treasury. The budget tinkered at the edges of the tax system rather than looking at any sort of radical changes eg a plan for council tax/SDLT reform

Hope she doesn't, she seems to be able to have an argument in an empty room and needs to make everything about her. The green party is about serious politics

I'm intrigued where that photo of the 20 year old is taken. It's got what could be a council flag in the background and could easily be a council chamber. Wouldn't happen to be the child of a councillor by any chance?

Strange how a breach by doing the 2 up 2 down for tax/NI wasn't palatable, when it wouldn't have cost most 'working people' anything but this manifesto breach is seen as ok despite commitments after Rayner resignation. Surely rebellion incoming. Also doesn't this breach Salisbury convention?

The one thing listed in this article that does seem sensible is Kent holding off on moving offices if they are in line for LGR but it isn't a saving, it just means that they have a less valuable asset to get rid of in the future.

So Johnson, Churchill, Farage (German great grandfather), Thatcher (Irish great grandfather), the royal family and the rights new darling Katie Lam should all be (have been) excluded from office? Or does she just mean people who look different from her?

What would the future of work committee discuss once the current bill is passed? Can't see more major changes to workforce relations. There are questions around AI which could sit in the digital committee (where the lack of business dept is striking given they now have the skills portfolio).

Let's look at the last thing that happened after a government promised a renegotiation of our membership of another European institution. Significant change was never possible so was easily characterised as a failure
