NEW modelling in the @DailyMail : low and middle-income households face a projected £900 Council Tax hike over the next decade if nothing changes.
Labour MPs are now urging the Chancellor to act at the Budget. A Proportional Property Tax would mean lower bills for 77% of us.
The budget is the time to act 👇dailymail.com/news/article-1…
Of course it is. The BBC is self-immolating.

Hurley demands crackdown on criminal gangs taking over Britain's high streets #southport @patrick_hurley qlocal.co.uk/southport/news_…
Earlier today, I chaired a meeting of the APPG for Town Centres, with an agenda focused on tackling organised crime on the high street. As a result of the evidence we gathered, I've this afternoon submitted these questions to ministers to help us tackle this problem.

Yes. Channel 4 should indeed invite @KemiBadenoch onto Gogglebox. It would do @andyburnham and @UKLabour the world of good.
BREAKING A political row has broken out over Andy Burnham's decision to go on Channel 4’s programme ‘Gogglebox’.
A Tory source tells me that Kemi Badenoch should be invited on to the show. One says: "It's Channel 4's job to ensure political balance."
More with me now on @GBNEWS.

Why are we allowing the BBC to be dismbered before our eyes? We don’t have to, we have the tools available to put the BBC on a sound footing now. The longer we wait, the more services, and the more jobs, are lost.

52 years ago today on October 21,1974 Radio City (Liverpool) opened, the first UK 24-hour station outside London. I debuted that opening week, covering non-league football, becoming its politics editor in the 1980s before moving to Westminster for 34 years. A brilliant grounding.
