Another way of looking at this, of course, is that if you took the triple lock out of the equation, the benefits bill would very likely roughly be increasing in line with projected inflation *if that*

This is beginning to matter. That is encouraging. Corbyn never sued over anti-Semitism allegations. Farage won't either. There is a reason why.
"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

It would be nice to think that at least some interviewers might ask Farage if he is still a Nazi, but of course none will.

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

I think the failure to properly regulate social media, or to enforce the regulations/laws that do apply, will eventually be seen as one of the great failures of ~2010-25.
And looks like the same will be true of LLMs.

There’s been a lot of complaints that he wasn’t referred to as an activist on QT last week, personally I think it’s an outrage that he wasn’t called a racist as well.

I think Peston should apologise for this outrageous framing. Not a serious show that any of us should be going on until this kind of nonsense stops.
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

Saying what you actually think is the most authentic thing a politician can do. Starmer should stop worrying what the reaction might be and do it more often. After all, a lot of us in the UK are not psychotic, far-right racists.
NEW - Starmer on Katy Lam: "I can't tell you how much I disagree with her.
"People who are lawfully in this country, who have been working in our communities, our neighbours... to reach in and remove them from our country - for 'cultural reasons'. That is how far the Conservative party has sunk."

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.
A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

Another disastrously bad move by the Israeli government. Putting all else to one side, Robinson has very happily hung out for many years with a lot of thugs who have merrily sung from the football terraces about gassing Jews.
This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Labour literally increased taxes on the wealthy through inheritance tax reform, and Green MPs like Ellie Chowns spoke in opposition to it. Judge the Greens on what they actually do when you elect them, not on what Zack says on social media.
No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will.
But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.
