Kemi Badenoch's personal attacks on Rachel Reeves in her response to Reeves' budget was way over the top.
Previously, Reeve's personal attacks on the Greens and the SNP when presenting her budget was equal in malice.
Labour came to power on 33% of the UK vote
Why don't I feel sorry for Reeves?

You could substitute so many Labour initiatives for "Motability cuts" and this headline would still make sense. What a tragedy this Government is.

It’s a democratic outrage

Somehow this got missed off the "Benefit Street" front pages today
70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

Tackling child poverty is my driving mission - and thanks to our actions, Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling.
Glad that Labour was finally shamed into doing the right thing.

The UK acknowledges "the massive increase in settler violence" in the Israeli-occupied territories, with 264 attacks in October.
But ministers still refuse to even ban trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements.
