I’m sorry, what now?

Are you f’king kidding right now @telegraph.co.uk??

Reeves addresses global uncertainty arising from Middle East conflict - has potential to completely upend economic forecasts.

“It is incumbent on (us) to chart a course through that uncertainty, to secure economy against shocks & protect families from turbulence that we see beyond our borders.”

It's a common refrain for ministers to note Nigel Farage's absence from the Commons, but the stats do seem to back it up. So far this year he has spoken five times and voted seven times. As a very rough, smaller-party comparison, Ellie Chowns of the Greens has spoken 46 times and voted 24 times.

The Politic EU article I posted yesterday talks about the E3 in relation to Starmer, Macron and Merz, we're very much in step with Europe.

Reminds me of a jury member who insisted the expert on knife wounds who said stab wounds could not have been self inflicted didn’t say 100% therefore the juror was uncertain what to think !🤔 🫣 True story !

Sobering to think that we would have joined a reckless war in the middle east over the weekend had Badenoch or Farage been PM.

And we would be refusing to embrace an energy transition away from reliance on a deeply unstable region.

Starmer's sobriety definitely an asset in the last few days.

“I will not permit, I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. That is not what they would expect and deserve. They are entitled to better than that” - Keir Starmer

Green MP Ellie Chowns on the elections bill last night: "It is really quite extraordinary that the Thailand-based crypto investor Christopher Harborne has been allowed to donate £9 million to Reform UK. I notice that its Members are still not here" (2/3rds of the way into the debate)

Seems Cllr Jo Monks time Worcestershire County Council may be up ?

Aside from an imminent motion of no confidence it now appears Reform UK aren’t happy and are sending in the big guns .. question is what for?

My thoughts today are with the family, loved ones and all those impacted by Sarah Everard’s murder five years ago.

Sarah’s murder by a serving police officer shocked and horrified the entire country and rightly sparked an outcry about the national epidemic of violence against women and girls.

Uh oh

Robert Jenrick is currently hosting a press conference attacking Rachel Reeves for meeting with Arshad Khatana.

Does he know Nigel Farage did too?

Suddenly, Nigel Farage’s policy of “follow Trump at all costs” doesn’t seem too popular.

Thank you to everyone who supported me this morning on one of my posts🙏, this is further evidence that Britain and Europe are consolidated in their response.

As reiterated on BBC Three Counties this morning, I support the PM's mature and measured action in the Middle East.

Iran must end these reckless strikes and return to the negotiating table. Our priority remains diplomacy - and the swift, safe return of British nationals.

The brass neck of the Lib Dems stating graduates are being ripped off. Who tripled tuition fees???

This is a disgraceful article Pippa predicated on what might happen..what about celebrating what has happened under her financial leadership??? Of course we know if WW3 breaks out all bets are off..don’t need a “political journalist “ to tell us that !So glad I stopped my subscription to your paper

And it will encourage the US to attack the missile sites, which they may otherwise have not

Will banning the US from using them make Spanish citizens safer? The airfields they would use are in Spain, so hardly targets of opportunity. Ours bases were being attacked anyway and civilians are being put at risk in the civilian centres Iran attacked, so what is there to lose?

Summing up she says we must stick to the course, reject austerity, invest in public services, tackle the cost of living, & keep stability!

It really does feel like her plan is working. The forecasts and data show EVERYTHING is moving in the right direction.

Keep going Chancellor & Labour!

Keir Starmer: "I know the situation in the Middle East is worrying for British people in the region, and at home.

It’s my duty as Prime Minister to keep British people safe.

I will be answering questions on the steps we took over the weekend in Parliament. Watch at 3:30pm."

She has achieved more as a minister than many politicians achieve in their entire careers.

I’m so sorry to lose her from our team, but proud of her decision and her impact."

if I ever need a lawyer, somebody call this lady

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
