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.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.
Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

I will make these in batches over next 5/6 weeks as I get orders, so I can post by end of next month. I can make them up into gift boxes too if you want easy ‘home made’ gifts. They’re nice given with a box of crackers, some cheese, or a loaf of good bread.

Farage/Reform want to remove rights for women
1. Its manifesto states ‘to repeal the equalities act’
2. Remove us from the european convention on human rights which protects women
3. Remove us from the UN charter for human rights which protects women.
NO WOMAN should support them‼️
