Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

They’ve been told to, same way the BBC has platformed Farage since he was an unknown MEP who didn’t turn up to do his job then, either.
It’s that simple agreement of exposure and repetition to really drive the message of credibility home.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

An awful lot of things that are nothing to do with Brexit are all about Brexit.
For instance, if we still had the tax take from the 4% of GDP that Brexit stole from us, Labour wouldn't have to wield the chainsaw of Austerity 2.0.
It's those sorts of dots they are remiss in not joining together.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

No one on the left or right wants to give Starmer credit for it. But there was real skill and self-restraint in that performance. Everyone who’s had to deal with a powerful idiot will recognise it.

Although this wasn’t as *visibly* bad as her last one, I think this was her worst PMQs yet, in that “you agree with the government’s position but its backbenchers don’t” is basically the easiest PMQs for the leader of the opposition and she completely missed it.
Keir Starmer at #PMQs: “She didn't feature in my thinking at all. I was so busy over the weekend I didn't even see her proposal.
”She's appointed herself saviour of Western civilisation. It's a desperate search for relevance.”

Then @guardianheather.bsky.social’s great profile of John Van Reenen brought out a side of Labour’s thinking we hear less about. It suggests a really sharp focus on productivity, pushing businesses to step up and using the rise in employer NICs as part of that
