And "how can Labour prove it's not elitist compared with Reform". Yes, that nasty elitist first all state school educated Labour cabinet. #wato

Ah diddums. He's not attempting to cover multiple jobs like the many local council workers he thinks he's going to be able to cut.

It's the #r4today version of "no news is good news".

Or too many friends benefiting from cheap illegal labour. #r4today

When those councils collapse disastrously we'll be treated to the same hysterical stuff as we're getting about Trump/Musk now on #r4today. Entirely predictable by everyone except the political commentators on the BBC.

YES! But #r4today won't notice.

But actually making people's working conditions worse will make council services fail. The better, more experienced staff will go and work at a council where they can continue to pay into their pension scheme.

Except the public sector really isn't bloated anywhere that ordinary people notice. Just in Whitehall where the Tories wanted them to wheel in the drinks during Covid lockdowns. #r4today

So people with experience of local authority roles wanting to continue their career and keep paying into the LGPS won't work for Reform councils. They're putting rabid ideas before public services aren't they. #r4today

You're not good at analysis. Starmer chose not to lower himself to her pathetic level whilst still managing to be gracious in welcoming her to the House. A class act - unlike anyone in Reform UK. #pmqs

But not quite as weak as in Trump's US?

Absolutely. A pisspoor #Panorama tonight. If taxes for the wealthiest are so high, how is it that second home ownership and private education have increased so much? Ros Atkins is of course a product of private education looking after his own as usual.

Oh dear, Richard Tice can't punctuate correctly. I wouldn't have been able to shortlist him for a job at the council I worked for.

Ah, this is the "net stupid zero" that Reform UK speaks of.

But look at the way the BBC News website reports it - under a heading 'Does Starmer feel threatened by Farage?' More important to do tabloid personality wars than report the reality of the threat posed by Farage to all of us. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

Wow, a health minister giving good advice about Covid transmission. Imagine. #r4today

Of course I know it's not a single tax, but why make us think we're paying more tax than most of us are? t's just lazy journalism.

Webb seemed unable to counter that old chestnut about giving rich people more money being good for the economy. Most people know that they don't spend their extra money, poor people do though. Why doesn't Webb know and challenge the Trump/Farage nonsense? #r4today

Although no doubt the siphoning off of US public money to build yet more useless rockets will continue. #r4today

Planning comes under local authorities. They've had 50% budget cuts and very low pay increases since 2010 so they may well have problems with implementing planning regulations. #r4today

Let's just forget she's an exact contemporary of Mary Wollstonecraft.
