Ian Hislop on Brexit: "After an election or a referendum,even if you lose the vote,you are entitled to go on making the argument. When a govt in this country wins an election,the opposition does not just say,'oh that's absolutely right, I've got nothing to say for 5 years.🙄"

Liz Truss: “The media conspired against me” Reality: 👇

Just today, we've had a former PM saying Britain is now being run by a secretive Deep State, & a former Home Secretary saying Britain is now run by 'Islamists and the far left.' Both are still MPs for the Conservative Party, which has actually been running Britain for 14 years.

The U.K. worst pensions in the developed world, even worse than Mexico.

If you’re angry at Angela Rayner for selling her council house… But not angry at where this non-story came from i.e. from the billionaire Tory peer who got out of paying UK taxes by being a non-dom while sat in our House of Lords …then you’re part of the problem.

We’re the only G7 country in recession. I can’t think of one public service that’s better than it was 14 years ago. We need a long term plan. - Paul Nowak

BREAKING 🚨 | A staggering 38% (2.2 MILLION) of public sector workers are at breaking point and seriously thinking of quitting their jobs. ❌ Median pay across the pubic sector is £42 per week LESS in real terms than in 2004. ❌ 1/4 have struggled to pay bills ❌ 1/5 have taken

The Conservatives are salting the earth and poisoning the wells (well, the rivers at any rate), as they know the next government will not be theirs. They are leaving, as their legacy, a broken country.

Unbelievable. For the Chancellor to further cut capital gains tax when it's already much lower than income tax is a blatant giveaway to the richest people in the country #Budget2024

A reminder of where we are. The worst growth since the Great Depression. The worst real wage growth in modern history. Real pay is still below the 2008 level. That was 16 years ago. The worst government for living standards since records began. Crumbling classrooms. Record

Jeremy Hunt just announced a huge tax cut for landlords. Reminder: Hunt owns seven flats. Watch our investigation.

Not so long ago, the government was promising that rises in National Insurance would be used to fix social care. So what will more cuts in National Insurance due to social care? It doesn’t look remotely fixed to me. What happened to that manifesto promise?

So sales of private health insurance at Aviva have risen by 41% in the last year. Exactly as the govt intended. Welcome to your 2-tier health service. Private for those who can afford it & an underfunded, understaffed, degraded NHS for everyone else. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

A government can no more run out of money than a football team can run out of goals. Why do supposedly serious politicians, journalists and economic commentators persist in pretending otherwise?

The UK got 4% of its gas from Russia and nearly 70% of electricity from non-fossil fuel sources.. Yet bills went up 315%, far more than anywhere in Europe who were reliant on Russian gas. This is because the whole thing was a scam to rob you, and more than 80% was profit.

Just dire that Rachel Reeves still refuses to invest in the green economy - public investment crowds in private investment & cuts fuel bills. Instead of locking themselves into arbitrary fiscal rules, Labour should be honest that borrowing to invest is sound economics #bbclaurak

As Downing Street condemns the "racist and wrong" comments by Tory donor Frank Hester (but shows no sign of returning £10m in gifts from Hester and his company), the new Eye reveals the whopping profits and dividends he's made from government NHS IT contracts.

Well done to Mark Harper for the clear and concise explanation this morning regarding the Conservative Party plan👏 Mark rightly pointed to our achievements over the last 14 years. These include: - 3,000 more food banks - ensuring you will only wait a week for an ambulance -

Remember when Amazon's 'Just Walk Out' grocery stores were hailed as the future of shopping? With no checkouts and fewer workers? Well, it turns out the shops relied on 1,000 workers in India watching and manually adding up items in your trolley.
