Marie Rimmer is angry with Burnham allies. She's a 79 year old MP and they tried to retire her from her constituency without asking her.
Welcome to Kingstanding. The flags on the roundabout and surrounding roads have been up for months. There have been NF links in the past.
Cat Little is giving evidence today and she's disputing Olly Robbins evidence saying the Cabinet Office said Mandelson did need DV.
This post shows Polanski calling the UK defending against the drones being used to attack British and allies' bases and personnel as joining the war. Presumably he wouldn't defend British or their allies personnel?
He chose to work with the paper with the degrading page 3 & routinely abused women campaigners who called it out. Well done to them for stopping it He asked a woman who'd recently given birth what her husband thought of her body and how it affected their relationship🤮 You're okay with the ick🤷♀️
Let's question the Downing Street vetting proceess but lobby journalists at Farage's press briefings have to he compliant? It's just the way things are ...
From the IFS. Note underneath says it hasn't included the higher taxes on savings, dividends, property income, salary sacrifice reform, and some energy reforms. Including these would make the 2030-31 picture more progressive.
Polanski's time at the Lib Dems shows what a chancer he is. Read the Private Eye article. Remember he joined the Lib Dems in 2015. It was the end of the coalition government of Lib Dems and Tories - they pushed through significant austerity cuts. Yet now he claims to be against cuts.
Unbelievably Badenoch calling it as it is and more responsibly than Davey!
Christopher Harborne who part owns a company being investigated for helping the Kremlin evade sanctions and launder money? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Two good articles showing the links between Christopher Harborne and Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. Harborne has a 12% stake in a company called Tether which is being investigated for enabling Putin's Kremlin to evade sanctions and launder money. He gave Reform £9m in Aug & lives in Thailand
Still the attacks on the pre budget discussion continues. I can't remember anything like this before.Perhaps it's time for a proper discussion about what's actually in the budget? I'm not sure we are at the sunny uplands that our broadcast journalists are claiming. Look at the real headroom.
The majority were against the artwork because they thought it was an attempt to humanise small boat crossings. HAPPY CHRISTMAS
A really interesting piece on the position the BBC is in and why. Also on the considerable pressures on journalists from Robbie Gibb and his friend David Grossman about what they can say & the fear journalists felt. A senior editor asked Lewis Goodall-what the PM (Johnson) will think abouthis report
Bamford likes to pay Reform and the Tories but not it seems British voters via tax.
