Tory-run Slough has “lost track” of 500 people living in temporary accommodation, meaning it underestimated its spending by £10m. It blames staff turnover and incompetence, and a new IT system; but while the blunder was spotted in October 2024, officers have only just fessed up to councillors.

@itvpeston.bsky.social so, on the day of the budget you have nobody from the Govt, but instead two Tories, a Reform MP and this week’s pick from your usual revolving selection of far left Labour MPs. And they say the BBC is biased! Absolutely hopeless

@johnharris1969.bsky.social John, it’s a big frustrating how you are always very keen to put the boot into the Govt - even when in this case the error was completely down to the OBR - but for measures you presumably favour such as reversing the 2 child benefit cap, you remain completely silent

Everyone needs to calm down a bit. It’s an embarrassing and stupid leak. But we knew all the detail anyway- the Treasury had leaked it. Markets have reacted well. This bit of process won’t be anything close to the most politically difficult thing about today.
Keir Starmer: "The Chancellor will set out the Budget in just a few minutes time."
In fact, the OBR did it just a few minutes ago.

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Exactly right. Mistakes must be corrected, but deliberate campaigns should be recognised for what they are.
BBC’s Nick Robinson on #Trump #BBC row: “As ever..it’s clear that there is genuine concern about editorial standards+mistakes. There is also a political campaign by people who want to destroy the organisation that you are currently listening to. Both things are happening at the same time.”
