At this point it doesn't look like an accidental omission - in my opinion it looks like deliberate deception... a lie. If Zahawi told the same lie to HMRC, then this wouldn't be tax avoidance - in my view it would be tax evasion. Astonishing for a senior cabinet minister.

former Chief Adviser at the Bank of England, Charles Goodhart, tells Times Radio: "You can say goodbye to growth over the period from now until the general election…”

It is extraordinary that the BOE has had to intervene - on financial stability grounds - in an absolutely core UK market to mop up the damage done by the budget.

The PM has been forced to abandon her unfunded tax cut for the richest 1%. But it comes too late for the families who will pay higher mortgages and higher prices for years.   The Tories have destroyed their economic credibility and damaged trust in the British economy. 1/3

They need to reverse their whole economic, discredited trickle down strategy.   Their kamikaze Budget needs reversing now. As the party of fiscal responsibility and social justice, it will come to the Labour Party to repair the damage this Tory government has done. 3/3

Kwasi Kwarteng was not fighting “orthodoxy”. He was fighting maths. The whole project was/is a fantasy. Don’t give it the patina of a revolution. It just didn’t add up. It was post-truth, just like the claims of Brexit uplands. theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

After 12 years of Tory failure, the British people deserve so much better than this revolving door of chaos. We need a general election, now. My full statement:

Not much of a silver lining, given the size of the cloud, but at least we now know that any producer or presenter using guests from Institute of Economic Affairs is either deliberately promoting their ridiculous, utterly discredited agenda or treating their audience with complete contempt. Or both.

No one voted for this.

Sometimes I'm amazed at what the team can do. Other times I'm amazed that we just give it away to the community. Enjoy. #brightslide

Have I got this right? The Foreign Secretary’s phone was compromised by 🇷🇺 and Braverman as attorney general and Home Secretary compromised national security and the two Prime Ministers covered it up. The UK is not safe in their hands.

Here is how #platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. 1/
