Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

"Did UKIP have a problem with an MEP who clearly was corrupt? Yes, it did."
"Did he join Reform? Very briefly in Wales? He did."
"I can't investigate UKIP in the European Parliament in 2018. How do I do that?"
Someone doesn't seem keen on an investigation...

Piers Morgan's opinions are irrelevant, he has no expertise, represents no constituency and has no useful insights, he's just a hack permanentky in search of publicity..... he adds nothing to any #newsnight panel

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵
