Not a great start when Reeves has to open the first of the three envelopes already.

“It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.” ― P.J. O'Rourke

"Multi-millionaire landowners sir. Thousands of 'em."

An incredibly powerful and authoritative open letter from Katharine Birbalsingh, the UK's most demonstrably successful Head Teacher, to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson. The letter lays bare the dangers of Labour's muddled and deeply counter-productive education bill -

Almost everything chancellor Reeves announced in her speech today – Backing a third runway at Heathrow. Relaxing planning constraints. Building Britain’s very own golden research triangle of London, Oxford and Cambridge. Unlocking money from pension schemes — could and should

Unclear to me how rolling back the markedly improved education results of the last decade is compatible with a “go for growth” policy.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location

OTD in 2022 he made a genuine appeal for an authoritative statement about the *actual* size, *precise* location of the 100,000 troops alleged (lol) to be poised to invade. Cos no one had done this & it's possible CNN made this all up as part of a woke agenda.

America is far more dependent on fossil fuels than we are. So why are its energy costs between 50% and 25% lower than ours? Also I understand over 40% of our electricity now comes from renewables. If they’re so cheap why do we have among the highest domestic and industrial

Christopher Snowdon Private Eye Magazine Not the first time Private Eye has got it spectacularly wrong on a medical related issue. No doubt the Letby special report will go the same way as their infamous MMR publication.

Me filling in my tax return to pay for child rapists' lawyers, a Queer Pride parade in Mogadishu and free cars for fat people

This would be illegal to build in the UK. (All buildings 18m or higher must have two staircases.)

Once again, I beseech you: Every single discussion of public sector pay - nurses, doctors, teachers etc - should include the value of public sector pensions. Compensation deferred remains compensation.

Hey, @channel4, If you're going to "do spyware" tracking for "BARB TV Panel", whatever the hell that is, I think you have a _duty_ to at least seek positive assent rather than have a message that DISAPPEARED whilst I was looking for a phone to capture it.

"Sorry Prime Minister but you have no choice" is the end of democracy in regard to the given issue. Another policy entrenched out of reach of criticism, persuasion and consent. Another potential source of violence left to fester and spread without error correction.

Next move on Wallace's Afghan debacle - lawyers swarming to bring compensation cases for the Afghans - they've been traumatised, mental health! So as well as moving soldiers' families out their homes for the Afghans, as well as bringing the dude who blackmailed the MoD because

A stunning and shameful PMQs. Parliament has been denied its right to scrutinise the government for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction. Huge amounts of public money has been spent in secret. 100,000 Afghans put in danger. Did any backbench MP get up
