While I’m glad to see the government finally coming down from its pernicious proposals - the manner in which it has been forced into another last minute u-turn because of a lack of listening is frankly embarassing. This is no way to govern.

A second free push for this. I’m slightly surprised that the doge thing is the only element of the Reform local govt agenda that seems to have captured the national chat in any way. From where I’m sitting, this is the bit of their agenda, and their politics, to watch before that

The thing with the disabled people of the future is they can't write to their MP by Tuesday.

But if this goes through, one day they will.
NEW: I understand some of the concessions being floated with rebels on the welfare bill alongside the 3 point threshold includes allowing existing PIP claimants to keep their PIP even if they don’t score above 4 in any criteria, and bringing forward employment support

is this what you dreamt of when you first got interested in politics? frantic bullshit phone calls fake-threatening to topple your own government if your own MPs don't vote to plunge 50-year-olds with arthritis and depression into poverty?

was that what you went into this for? for this?

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip.

Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

Since arriving home I've been inundated with messages of support from hundreds of MPs from all parties, and from constituents across Earley & Woodley.

In other decades this would be an era-defining scandal with hearings on the Hill and possible legal consequences. This will run for a day on Twitter and everyone will admit they can't do anything.

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk.

It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.
