On the basis the Telegraph doesn’t like this, I assume this will be the next idea to be dropped.

The budget has become a symbol of a government without a clue. What the Chancellor says later this month has to be more than a series of discussion points hoisted up and down the media flag pole on the basis of who, if anyone, salutes them. FT tomorrow.

Seldom if ever known a government so weak and rudderless that every dot and comma of the upcoming budget has had to be shaped and finalised by media reactions to endless Treasury leaks.

The specifics don’t matter here. The point is it should not be a matter for Trump who runs the BBC. If Starmer had anything about him at all, he’d say something.

Good grief. A politician with a brain and integrity and concern for what’s in the national interest. Starting to think I’d never see that again in my lifetime.

Curious how this government will claim to have ‘special intelligence’ on issues such as this and Palestine Action to justify what it’s doing, but where was the early intelligence on the appointment of Mandelson, the genocide, the claim they could make a success of Brexit etc?

Who’d have thought it? Reeves accepts the Brexit deal she voted for — and Starmer ordered Labour MPs to vote for — is caused long-term damage to the economy.

What beggars belief is that the perpetrator of this act of national self-harm sees himself as our next prime minister.

It’s @andyburnham.bsky.social or bust for this country. Let’s be clear Starmer is proving a better warm-up act for Farage than Biden ever was for Trump.

Let’s have a serious and long overdue conversation about foreign interference in our country, then. China — and, for that matter, Israel’s — influence over our prime minister, for sure. But also let’s talk about Russia and the part it played in making Brexit happen.

With Israel’s ownership of the Prime Minister — and now we have to factor in China’s, too — plus those who give him suits etc, I’d say the electorate now has at best a minority stake in him. Times tomorrow.

Blimey, dawning even on Reeves that Brexit might not have been such a great get-rich-quick scheme after all.
