Had the misfortune of seeing Chris Mason on the lunchtime news pontificating on why "in his judgement" she has misled the public.
This from the man with no known opinion on Farage and gave free passes to Truss, Kwarteng, Johnson, Gove, Hancock, Hunt and Sunak. Ghastly little man

Miles not backing down on this point despite repeated questioning. Reeves did need to find substantial tax increases. Contradicts a huge amount of the media coverage in last two days.

Given there is an entire information-economy between politicians, advisers, officials and the media of intentional pre-Budget leaks, it is telling that the only resignation is when someone leaks it unintentionally.

Also, a lesson to every DOJ lawyer & law enforcement official. A lesson to everyone.
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

Time to revive the “publicly-funded block of studio flats” argument for MPs who can’t get home in the evening…
Senior MPs including Kemi Badenoch, Robert Jenrick and Darren Jones are claiming tens of thousands of pounds a year in taxpayer-funded rent expenses while either calling for or implementing benefit cuts on the poorest

Revealed: MPs rack up huge rent expenses while pushing through cuts to benefits
MPs are allowed to rent a second home, but while they are simultaneously cutting benefits for the vulnerable, the cost feels hard to swallow.

The absolute state of the BBC news just now - which seems determined to drag the government down over the budget.
Where was all this attention to minute detail and concern for absolute accuracy when the Tories were lying their way through their chaotic reign for 14 years? It's frankly absurd.

If you want to give your blood pressure a good run, listen to today’s Jeremy Vine. He spends 10 minutes shrieking hysterically about Rachel Reeves lying.
The BBC should admit he is massively biased, and show him the door.

In my lifetime I have never seen this level of aggressive journalism to try to unseat a Chancellor from press + media. Just had to turn off Jeremy Vine who was shouting at a minister. The only difference with this chancellor is that she is a woman. Misogyny unconscious or conscious. #Ukpolitics
