It's good they removed the two child benefit cap.
It is bad to not examine or analyse why they removed the whip from so many MPs for wanting this last year.
It is either genuinely dense or thoroughly evil to pretend that never happened and labour has always wanted to remove it.

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.
Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?
For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

What's frustrating about #Budget2025 is the wasted year.
Labour could have scrapped the two-child limit, cut energy bills and done a freeze on rail fares in last year's Budget.
Instead they tried to target pensioners and disabled people, and were forced into embarassing u-turns and lost goodwill.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

Jonathan Freedland is studiously ignoring that Britain's woes didn't arise promptly after 2019. Brexit is not a cause but a symptom: of deindustrialisation, of the failure of neoliberalism, and of the toxicity of the British press.
