There is a deliberate vendetta against the Chancellor. Whether the OBR can survive these attempts to undermine the current government will depend on what they do next. They are not acting “independently” when they behave in this manner. It’s utterly disgraceful and deeply worrying

Although you didn't need it - given their unqualified support for everything Trump is doing in the US - it's a hint of how Reform would treat the norms of democracy in the UK if they got into power.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Word on X is that Tim Davie is about to resign.
I hope they can find someone who is more nimble, and also who can provide better balance to the BBC.
