There was a time when opposition politicians were desperate to talk about bond yields.
That's about to change.
Borrowing costs have fallen today, because the market has confidence in the Chancellor's approach.
That's why today's press conference was important.

Am pleased Farage is making more speeches.
Every time he does, something new slips out of the bag.
Today - he is considering a cut in the minimum wage for younger workers.
I'm proud our Labour Government increased the minimum wage. You should be paid fairly for the job you do, irrespective of age.

She’s right. She *deliberately* hacked into Harriet Harman’s website, whereas Rachel Reeves is accused of obtaining a license late by accident. I assume that’s what she means, given Badenoch is widely known for her thoughtfulness and her self-awareness.

For more than 70 years, the ECHR has protected the fundamental rights of millions of people.
I fully support our membership. Leaving would put the UK on a par with Belarus and Russia.
Farage's 'Bill' today was pure symbolism, but we have to keep making the argument for why the ECHR matters.

If we abolish stamp duty, the biggest winners will be those with the biggest houses.
If your house is worth £2million, you save £150,000. If it's £300,000 - you save nothing.
The Conservatives dedicated most of their Opposition Day to this cause in the Commons today.

Irrespective of whether she was freelancing, or speaking for the Conservative Party - Katie Lam is plain wrong.
It's unconscionable to threaten to deport hundreds of thousands of people who have Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK.
This is not who we are as a country.

Predictably, their plans are based on deep cuts elsewhere.
Citizens Advance is a real alternative.
