Got my hopes up for a split second when I heard a news bulletin in a very sombre tone starting with 'Donald Trump has suffered a serious...' Unfortunately, it was 'blow to his tariff policy.'

open.spotify.com/episode/77Hz... Interesting snippet on here about capping winter fuel allowance. Apparently, even Kwasi Kwarteng was emotionally intelligent enough to understand it wouldn't go down very well with the public, so ruled it out.

I don't watch much Championship football, but what a high quality finish and parting gift from Tommy Watson to send Sunderland up. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for him at Brighton next season.

When I was at Politics.co.uk I used to commission this guy to write straight-down-the-line, reasoned, academic analysis of public opinion. His decade-long descent into far-right grift has been quite something to watch

I'm not much of a gambler, but Badenoch is 7/4 to go before the end of the year. Seems rather generous odds, considering her performance so far.

Trump wants you to think that he’s bringing back the “Golden Age” of prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s. But in reality, he’s dragging us toward something else: the Gilded Age of the 1890s.

Excellent caller on James O'Brien's show talking about Brexit buyers' remorse. Compares it to buying a ticket for one of those dodgy Christmas wonderlands🎯

Anything other than rejoining the EU is not a betrayal of the referendum. There was one question, it happened. We got a shitty deal, negotiated by shallow populists. Now is the time to grow up and support what works best for our country. Labour have the mandate to do that, like it or not.

I'm really not impressed with Labour so far, but listening to the fools and charlatans responsible for an awful deal cry 'Brexit betrayal' is a reminder that many things could always be a lot worse if they were in charge again.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

I think I must be going mad, but I just listened to Trump's speech in Riyadh and I was...kind of, slightly, moved by it. Then I thought about it for a bit and realised what he admires most about it is the idea of effectively exercising slave labour, so not feeling quite as fluffy about it now.

sorry but the idea a bunch of politics dorks didn’t deliberately write the enoch powell reference as an enoch powell reference in starmer’s speech is either an insult to our intelligence or an insult to theirs
