BREAKING: The OBR predicts households will be worse off in every single year of the 5 year forecast, compared to March. It will take until 2029 to get back to 2019 levels of prosperity. Labour’s handling of the economy is screwing working people.

Everything she has just written here is wrong. And she’s the head of our Foreign Affairs Committee.
Israeli Exit Polls show Netanyahu's been defeated. Israel has rejected his dark vision, forever war & cruel, dystopic, authoritarian policies. But to succeed, the anti Netanyahu block needs to work with the Israeli Arab parties. I dearly hope this great chance isn't wasted

Reform will raise the VAT threshold to £150,000 a year and scrap tax on overtime. Small businesses and grafters are the backbone of our economy. Labour are failing them. We will back them.

I earn £100 grand a year. I have a detached house. 2 cars and my wife is a full time home maker. I can just about afford this. I probably couldn’t afford the house I own if I was buying for the first time today. My salary puts me in the top 5% of earners in the UK. Top 5% to have a similar standard of living to Homer Simpson. That is a disgrace. We have a flatter salary distribution than Soviet Russia and the highest taxes and borrowing costs we’ve seen in generations. Success is almost impossible because our tax system means hard work makes you a stressed out tax cow, not wealthy and certainly not free. We need something radical. Less state. More family. Less handouts. More reward for risk. Instead. Tomorrow, Labour will offer another batch of policies which will send one message to aspirational Brits: why bother.
I read a piece in the FT this week about the price of being middle class in Britain now and it said a couple earning £436,000 combined take home £216,000. That’s a crazy amount of tax, and it doesn't include VAT on purchases, council tax, stamp duty or other taxes (I think does include pension contributions). I can’t stop thinking about it.

This year alone, more Christians have been killed by Muslims in Nigeria than Gazans in three years of war. Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist has protested like they do for Gaza. Weird.

A Reform UK budget would cut waste and raise the tax free allowance to £15,000. John Healey will cut the cost of gherkins.

An increase to £13.20p/h equates to a minimum wage of £27,456, based on a 40 hour week. Once you factor in employers NI and basic pension contributions, the MINIMUM cost to hire a 21 year old for a company would be £31,461. This is before you factor in any overarching business costs like office space, laptops, phone, software, training, support staff, vehicles etc. This is going to be devastating to SME's who cant put together a simple 12 month budget without the goalposts being moved & their margins squeezed. It'll also be catastrophic to youngsters opportunities because businesses will simply not be able to afford to hire them. What's also incredible is that anything above £50,270 is seen as 'high earnings' in the UK and is taxed at 40%! We are governed by financially and economically illiterate morons. This will not end well.
🚨 NEW: John Healey will increase the minimum wage for over 21s from £12.71 to around £13.20

Greens for Palestine Lubna Speitan just said she wants the ENTIRE Terrorism Act repealed. Over 100 late-stage terror attacks have been prevented since the Act came into force. The Green Party is now a national security threat.

Replying to @AngelaRayner
@AngelaRayner, did you allow Islamist extremists to influence the drafting of the “anti-Muslim hostility” definition? It’s a simple yes-or-no question. If not, why did your department claim that it had deleted all responses to the Working Group’s consultation, only to say — after the Free Speech Union threatened legal action — that the responses were still held on its data system? And why does your department still refuse to disclose who responded to the consultation? While we’re at it: if, as your Permanent Secretary confirmed in a letter to @NJ_Timothy, ministers had no involvement in this decision, who is running your department? The public deserves to know the truth.

Nick Timothy reveals that West Midlands Police had intelligence that Muslims were going to arm themselves to attack Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. The police suppressed that intelligence, and fabricated a tale of Dutch police telling them Maccabi fans were violent to deflect.
