There’s a lack of self awareness and then there’s this.
The byline may more accurately read:
Former Conservative MP & chancellor FOR 38 DAYS, who tanked the economy and drove up mortgage costs for millions to give tax cuts to the super rich.
Most definitely ‘out of his depth’.

A reminder: The ‘costs’ of the employment rights bill include giving low paid workers the right to sick pay from day one.
How many execs or senior managers in the big outsourcing companies who signed this letter have to worry about paying the bills if they take a day off sick?

Last week this political chancer was an expert on steel.
Now he’s an authority on special educational needs.
This isn’t about what’s best for kids.
It’s about what’s best for Reform’s poll ratings.

I’ve just come back the West Bank where I spoke to the PGFTU Congress. I also met 🇵🇸 workers & unions, politicians, human rights defenders & Israeli unions.
We need a renewed & lasting ceasefire & a safe, secure 🇮🇱 and a safe, secure, free 🇵🇸.
I’ll post more over the next few days.

‘It’s definitely politically motivated’
Not the casually expressed hope that someone should murder the Mayor of London
Or the racism.
Or the misogyny.
Politically motivated 😐🙄
And of course his excuse is ‘mental health’…I think Charlie would normally ascribe that to ❄️

🚨Non-serious post alert: Blast from the past photo of me and the new PM of Canada (a staunch Evertonian as you’d expect of a man of good character)
If you look carefully you can see the ceremonial @evertonfc.bsky.social mug I presented him with. I’m sure he still has it 🤣💙

Really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with @srtrcengland.bsky.social @evertonfc.bsky.social @tucnorthwest.bsky.social & dozens of primary school children talking about how we challenge racism in football and society.

Inheritance tax was paid on just over 4% of estates last year.
I won’t have to pay it on my estate.
Odds are the overwhelming majority of people reading this won’t pay it.
I tell you who will though.
Rupert Lowe, his mate Nigel, Richard Tice & the rest.
Self interest much?

Weirdly James Dyson is less scathing about the impact on the UK economy of those who choose to offshore manufacturing jobs and relocate their head offices to the far east.

Rest easy Telegraph readers. I know this will come as a disappointment to many, but - spoiler alert - Britain is not under union control 😂😂
However, the leader of the opposition is definitely taking her talking points from the world’s most unhinged billionaire.

Or TPA’s top funders?
Maybe they should publish a list so we can check? 🤔🙄

Tax-dodgers cosplaying as farmers.
Public school boys saying they’ll stand up for hard working Brits…then voting against improvements to workers rights.
‘Entrepreneurs’ defending their right to unfairly dismiss people.

Lee Anderson fought in the Battle of the Somme apparently.
I mean, I know he’d like to go back to a time before women had the vote but this seems a stretch even for him.
