It’s cool how Labour managed to assail their own unassailable majority.

Abolish the Triple Lock and link pensions to earnings only. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

When I was an employer, foreign applicants needed a share code. I entered it online and the gov told me what limitations there were on access to work.
If I wanted to just employ them without going through the process I could have.
I don’t see how digital ID changes this tbh.

The year is 2145 and Andy Burnham is hinting he might challenge for the Labour leadership.

Reducing immigration harms the economy, which fuels public anger. That anger gets directed at immigrants, leading to more restrictions—and more harm. A self-defeating cycle we can’t afford.

The idea that immigrants and in particular asylum seekers have more rights than the rest of us is fucking Looney Tunes are any main stream politicians challenging this?

“Only”

There’s a lot of bad stuff in the world right now but for what it is worth I just had a banging sausage roll.

Extraordinary scenes at Reform UK conference as Greater Lincolnshire Mayor Andrea Jenkyns arrives on stage singing her rock song 'Insomnia'

If I was Labour I would be absolutely furious with Channel 4 about that deckchair graphic on the 19.00 news.

I’m glad this isn’t Twitter where people would see me making a fool of myself

Basically everyone: “It’s not working something has to change.”

Same people: “Reshuffle within a year? Two of the great offices of state? They’re panicking!”

Look lads I’m not going to lie I have had a drink.

I would have thought Nandy to MHCLG or whatever it is called now and a young whipper-snapper in at DCMS.

I look forward to being proved wrong in 5..4..3..2..1…

I’d actually say:

Treasury
Health
DCLG

Home Office would be further down the list because the people who care most about immigration or crime are the least likely to vote Labour anyway.

Mind you, you didn’t ask me so, don’t worry about my opinion.

Crazy bastards went and did it

Is it mad to think Whitbread should just buy Costa back? If the price is £2bn then they pocket £1.9bn* from the previous sale and get their best asset back.

*I know it probably wasn’t all cash.

Thank you for your mocking message. I am out of the office until Manchester United at least achieve mediocrity.
In case of emergency please swivel.
Otherwise I will respond upon my return in roughly 2035.

Yes

We built a world which advantages us over people from elsewhere.
We refuse to make things more even between countries.
We make complaining about them trying to come here, where things are better, the central issue of our politics.

Thank you for your support, Baroness Meral Hussein-Ece OBE #Kamran4VP #LibDems

Stop it. Just stop it. You had me at “14 years of leadership by Nick Clegg”.

This is the only substack I subscribe to, it’s worth a look*

*other ones I don’t subscribe to are also likely worth a look; happy to receive recommendations.

I worked for an MP who did. Until his organiser had a lapse in concentration and sent a press release demanding more “Boobies” on the beat.
Shortly after the term was retired.

Lads how come I am getting charged for a year - I cancelled my subscription in 2024?

These are pretty good mate. Be kind to yourself.

This Labour party is giving me vibes of a football team that shows up to a match only to find the other team can’t make it. Then still conspires to lose 3-0.

Early work to free up some housing stock maybe?

Totally true but would add that the same can be said for purists on the liberal left.
If a politician tries to appease the extremes on either side I hope they realise it is a hopeless task before completely detaching themselves from the centre.
