The homicidal Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington has been a disgrace to American democracy.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

The OBR blunder was embarrassing. But the budget speech was pretty good, all things considered. The Badenoch response was nasty and spiteful. She really does reflect where modern Tory party is today and it ain't pleasant.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

This is very good indeed on how Mahmood talks about race. To suggest that immigration policy and racism are linked "reflects this government’s biggest failing, which is that it is essentially incapable of saying that racism is wrong, full stop".
Why should people who “look like” the home secretary be on the hook for immigration policy?
This is great by @stephenkb.bsky.social:

Today’s Labour Budget is about fairness. Our Labour values in practice.
Lifting nearly half a million children out of poverty paid for by a gambling levy, a tax on homes worth £2m, and closing tax loopholes.
We are Labour and we make different choices.

Reform UK in Leicestershire Council are paying consultants Newton £1.4m to do the job they claimed DOGE would do.
Thats £4.72 per Council Tax paying household.
It could rise to £30m they are paying Newton. Thats £101 per household in Leicestershire.
