"Starmer is one of several key figures in No 10 who would like to see forecasts reduced to once a year, as the IMF recommended – which would allow Reeves to meet her commitment of just one fiscal event a year." Someone really needs to tell him he's PM not just some dude hanging around No 10.

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

Correct

Quite the opposite. First brave thing he's done.

Absolutely right!!The Durham Miners Gala is a celebration of working people everywhere. The grim fanboys and girls of a multi-millionaire commodities broker who wouldn't know manual work if it bit him on the ankle have no place there... www.lbc.co.uk/news/exclusi...

Richard Littlejohn mostly lives in a gated mansion in Florida. Andrew Neil mostly lives in Grasse in the South of France.

🇬🇧 🇪🇺This is an important point on the new UK-EU trade deal that may get lost amid the outcry from the likes of Farage and Badenoch By the way, fishing accounts for 0.03% of UK GDP

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Reform's Richard Tice doubles down on the party's fiscally disastrous manifesto in the Telegraph this morning. Now, a full 2/3rds of the—largely unfunded—tax cuts from 2024 are back as party policy, I reckon. Quick 🧵

Fuck me - that's a whole new universe of embarrassing

Have you followed Trump’s 100-day disaster? Try this quiz!

Labour’s “Farage is right, don’t vote for him” strategy, which was so successful on Thursday, looks set to continue.

Cyclists: "Can we get a protected bike lane?" Leaders: "No, cos we have this magic paint that will keep you all safe" C: "We'd rather have the protected bike lane" L: "The paint will save you." How effective the paint actually is at keeping drivers out of the bike lane.........

If you aren't motivated to vote today, then a Farage smile awaits you.

@winchester.libdems.social Your pushy canvassing tactics allienate voters. Please let your constituents decide for themselves.

Even by tabloid standards a crushing new low

Macron shook one hand.

She’s running.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

True facts are true

Absolutely. Without the BBC Farage would have remained a nobody.

Marina Hyde: “Amid extremely stiff competition, the most hardcore gibberish emanated from Perry…” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

From Canada:

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

And the guy who’s fucked everything up is still playing golf.

Good grief, can we desist with this nonsense. Barring convicted criminals from holding office - especially criminals convicted of abuses of power - is just basic civic sense. The option of not stealing taxpayers' money was right there. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it

The French justice system chose courage over surrender. The law was clear, and so was the court in its sentencing: no special treatment for Marine le Pen, no deference to the powerful, no using a candidacy for office as an excuse to break the law with impunity. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Please. This is as stupid as the Tories trying to outfarage Farage. It. just. doesnt. work. Divisive polarisation only ever helps the far right. (or left)

Looks like a concentration camp to me. This must be condemned by all nations.

What friends and enemies can learn from the Signal leak. A lot more than might seem obvious at first. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pardons for people who attack police officers. Deportation for people who attack cars.

You are all mocking the 'Penelope Keith shot JFK' thing. BUT can you PROVE she wasn't there? Can you show me evidence that she didn't know Lee Harvey Oswald? Can you demonstrate beyond all reasonable doubt that she didn't have the motive? And laugh all you like but that's how conspiracies begin.

Oh good one!

2023: Rachel Reeves, "There will be no return to austerity under Labour" 2025: The Guardian, "Reeves to reveal biggest UK spending cuts since austerity in spring statement"

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen

This is absolutely shocking. Surely instead of cutting benefits for disabled people, the moral thing to do would be to introduce a wealth tax on the very wealthiest people in our society? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Labour seems intent on shredding support and out Torying Badenoch. Going after the most vulnerable people in society is not what the Labour Party should be doing.

Kemi Badenoch and four members of her Shadow Cabinet received donations from funders of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, which campaigns against Net Zero GWPF don't release details of their funding, but US tax records reveal links to the fossil fuel industry bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

Beware the Ides of March...

Why do we, the most powerful nation on Earth, act like the most weak and shortsighted?

My favorite genre of memoir is “I climbed the ranks at an evil corporation, made a shit-ton of 💰, and ruined ppl’s lives, but now I’m done, and I’d like earn royalties sufficient to sustain a *very* comfortable retirement by confessing my sins in a 📕 published by a rapacious media conglomerate.”

A thousand times this.
