Cash ISA cut SCRAPPED. The limit will stay at £20,000 tax-free for people of all ages. And to make investment more accessible I will work with the sector to form a new "starter ISA" to make investment more accessible.
Delighted Chancellor has taken up my idea for this and gone with the carrot rather than the stick! #Budget2026

The thing to remember: don't look at Budgets in isolation.
Taxes have been rising since 2021. The extra tax we're paying this year is the *cumulative* result of five successive Budgets, under three Chancellors.
This chart shows who's responsible & for how much.

Royal Mail should be back in public hands.
After years of missed delivery targets, Royal Mail has proven it can’t be run effectively by the private sector.
That’s why I’ve called on the Government to renationalise it.
If we fail to act, we risk losing Royal Mail for good.

Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on your re-election - a true victory for democracy and progressive values.
I look forward continuing to work together as we create opportunities for people in the UK and Brazil.

100 days ago, I promised to do things differently.
From cutting everyday costs to handing power back to communities, change is already underway.
But I know there’s much more to do - this is just the beginning.

Congratulations Harry 👏🏻
To be the first Englishman in 25 years to win the Ballon d’Or is an extraordinary achievement.
Thoroughly well deserved.

Our current MP has not put a foot wrong. Compare and contrast with Butler. She serves her people in a non partisan way and is an example to all of you who put party politics before people. @laurakyrkesmith

This makes Brexiteers wonderfully cross, but Burnham is spot on. It’s specifically cited by people on the ground. As one 19-year-old man from Sudan in Calais said: “Because of Brexit I believe that once I reach the UK I will be safe at last. No Dublin, no fingerprints any more.”

🚨 For years the Telegraph was one of the loudest cheerleaders for hard Brexit and the glorious economic freedom supposedly waiting outside Europe.
Now the Telegraph is owned by a German 🇩🇪 company.
And that German owner is cutting up to 100 jobs as it restructures the paper into a “global, AI-powered” business.
Some of its most hardline Brexit voices are also reported to be among those leaving.
Perhaps there is a lesson here. Markets really are global. Capital really does cross borders.
And shouting “sovereignty” does not stop decisions about British jobs being made somewhere else.
Brexit promised control.
The ownership structure tells a rather different story.

If you're a chief executive on a telephone number salary, at least have the grace not to complain about the taxes that fund the benefits your workers have to claim because you refuse to pay them enough to live on

To everyone getting their knickers in a twist…
All because @andyburnham suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement
…do you perhaps need reminding of this?

The Daily Mail has compared HMRC to the Stasi. Given that the newspaper is legally domiciled in Bermuda and its hereditary billionaire owner is based in France, precisely to minimise UK tax, they should surely STFU.

I've always believed Oxford Street could be so much more than a road.
Today we begin a new chapter as the nation’s high street goes traffic free, creating a place where people can spend time, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the very best of our city.

Surrounding signs read “Oxford St is changing”, “More space”, “Less traffic” and “We’re just getting started”, with shops, street decorations and pedestrians visible along the road behind.

Simon Heffer’s final pars in his review of Liz Truss’ new book.
Of all the best examples of the Westminster unreality machine, where parts of the illiberal metropolitan elite and press build someone up clearly beyond their abilities, she was by far the worst. Zero accountability, of course.

Reform are now third in the polls, behind the Tories. Behind the actual Tories. That's like losing a sprint to a bloke who's been declared clinically dead for two years.

And this is just the beginning.

UK to decouple #gas and #power prices .
Under the current system, gas sets the wholesale electricity price whenever it is needed alongside #wind, #solar, and many #renewables generators are paid gas-linked prices.
