Absolutely thrilled to have won Journalist of the Year at the London Press Club awards. Such an honour. It isn’t always the easiest job in the world, but my god I’m lucky to do it. 🙏🏽

A reminder. Next time you get mad about benefit claimants or refugees, remember that 7,000 shell companies registered to only five addresses in London made claims to the Covid furlough scheme. They claimed up to £473 million between them. #ToryFascists #GeneralElectionN0W

The reason unions are badass is if a billionaire walks into your office and starts demanding you work 12 hours a day 7 days a week to prove to him you deserve your job, you and your coworkers can legally make that one of the worst days of his life.

When Matt Hancock has to stick his head into a tank of poisonous ants, Ant and Dec should tell him he can’t have a mask like everyone else as they’ve run out of protective equipment. So he’ll have to make do with a bin liner.

i would argue that this is what state collapse looks like btw. A slow inability to build new things, to look after the populace, to repair infrastructure. Essentials get more expensive. The elite retreat to enclaves and gated communities.

I was meant to be on @skynews at 7.20 but have just been cancelled - there are apparently more important stories that the Bank of England raising interest rates to create a deliberate and massive recession in the UK

It’s 3 November. The apples of England have just been picked - a bumper year, but my local Sainsbury's is selling apples flown 12,000 miles from New Zealand. How can that make any sense? ‘Net zero by 2035’ Sainsbury's?

Sunak stood in the Chamber and said ‘we’ have stopped free movement of people. How is this something to be proud of. It’s madness.

BREAKING: Bank of England raises interest rates by 0.75 percentage points to 3% - the largest single hike in 3 decades. Will mean increasingly crippling mortgage costs for many. Partly the continued legacy of the disastrous mini-budget.

1/2 Bank of England has increased base rates by 0.75% pts to 3%. - Variable/tracker rate mortgages will rise by roughly £40/mth (£480/yr) per £100,000 of mortgage - Existing fixes won't change, but when they end new deals will be far costlier Cont... for info for savers

If your mortgage is £100,000 that Bank of England have just signalled they want to take at least £750 a year out of your annual income to punish you for inflation. How does that make you feel? And do you agree that inflation was all your fault in the first place?

Feeling a bit cross today at the news about how Britain's recession is going be worse than that in the US or the Eurozone. Someone, somewhere, has clearly made some bad choices.

Suella Braverman travelled by Chinook helicopter on her way to the Manston asylum processing centre this afternoon. She was in Dover before that, so about 20 miles away. It is unclear why the Chinook was used.

The Home Secretary arriving by military helicopter in war-torn <checks notes> Kent. 67 miles from London. Takes 1h11m to get there by train, at a cost of £11.30.

Suella Braverman faces legal action over the safety of women and children at the Manston centre in Kent. Rishi Sunak’s reappointment of her as Home Secretary has to be one of the most cynical moves by a Prime Minister in recent times. And it’s a crowded field.

The Bank of England have announced that the Truss-Kwarteng budget blew the UK’s financial reputation out of the water. Not Corbyn. Not immigration. Not Labour. Not lefty lawyers. Not the rest of the world. Not you. Not me. Not small boats. No, it was the Truss-Kwarteng budget

Scrap subsidised food for MPs. Now.

The Bank of England have announced that the Truss-Kwarteng budget blew the UK’s financial reputation out of the water. The Conservatives knew And they let them do it
