Surely the producers have taken their eye off the ball.

I think I can help the Conservatives with their enquiry.
1. Conservatives established the OBR.
2. OBR publishes budget on its website too early.

Job done. There may well be many things for which criticise Rachel Reeves, but this clearly isn’t one of them.

Less than a minute into the budget and Rachel Reaves uses that disgusting phrase ‘brightest and best’. Presumably these are not the people who keep our health service and social care going. These are the people to who I am grateful

You have to feel sorry for all those MPs including the leader of the Lib Dem’s who can’t believe their luck to be called in what is normally a PMQs with a huge audience watching BBC 2 for the budget only to find that BBC2 abandoned PMQs to discuss the budget which has not yet happened.

Two red buses, one marked 'The lie' which displays the Vote Leave claim that the EU cost £350M a week that would instead be used on the NHS. Another marked 'The truth' which shows that Brexit has cost the UK £1.7bn per week in 2025.

Who remembers that Brexit campaign slogan from 2016? 🤔

Fix Britain's Trade Liberal Democrats want to turbocharge our economy by forming a Customs Union with the EU, tearing down the trade barriers and red tape holding us back.

Fair point

Whoever was Gill’s Russian handler must feel pretty silly having given Gill so much money when Gill’s boss was so happy to do it for free.

ED DAVEY QUOTE GRAPHIC. TEXT: A traitor was at the very top of Reform UK, aiding and abetting a foreign adversary. Nigel Farage and his party are a danger to national security. Nigel Farage himself was previously paid to be on Putin’s TV channel, Russia Today, and said he was the world leader he admires the most. We must all ask - where do his loyalties really lie? We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our politics.

Nathan Gill has been sentenced to 10.5 years for endangering national security and taking Russian bribes.

Nigel Farage and Reform are a danger to national security, the Liberal Democrats will continue to hold them to account and defend our democracy.

Just in case an American with no sense of irony reads it, that was irony.

I think you will find that his inflammatory words were spliced together in a BBC edit and that actually Trump is a model of calm moderation

Cryptocurrency backed by Farage donor is used for Russian war effort, investigators say Tether tokens found to facilitate scheme that enables sanctions evasion and launders money for the Kremlin

Just to clarify that this does not indicate prices coming down - prices on average have risen very slightly less quickly.

My reaction to most pronouncements from the previous government was ‘that’s appalling’. My reaction to pronouncements from this government is nearly always, ‘that’s pathetic’. It looks like tomorrow it’s back to ‘that’s appalling’.

My reaction to most policy pronouncements from the previous government was ‘that’s appalling’. Pronouncements from this government- that’s pathetic’, but it looks like tomorrow I will be back to ‘that’s appalling’.

This reflects the recent High Court judgment that Ofsted is legally obliged to hold a consultation but has no requirement to look at the results. What a waste of time and public money!

But they did analyse the early and when they realised just how overwhelmingly negative they were, they stopped.

So sorry to hear that.

Perhaps she thought she didn’t need one because she did use to work at the Bank of England you know

Trump-proof the BBC The BBC is our national broadcaster, we must defend it against those who want to destroy it.

Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general after accusations of ‘serious and systemic’ bias in coverage Davie tells staff departure was ‘my own decision’ but it comes with the BBC preparing to apologise for the way it edited a Trump speech

www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n.... This is weird. Maybe, just maybe some anti- loony right bias got through but this is surely insignificant compared to the worship of of the right by episodes of Kuenssberg and Question Time which only occasionally fail to feature a Reform panel member'.

YouTube video by Frank and Stan Chat Five former HMI discuss the new Ofsted school inspection framework

What do five former HMI think of Ofsted's new school inspection framework? This chat reveals some positives but quite a few negatives. With the launch tomorrow, we hope it proves helpful for schools and inspectors. Let us know what you think. youtu.be/ZTV5dK13UpM

And it would have been a great ‘got you’ moment if only the opposition intellectual could count up to six

The obvious response therefore is to continue with both … oh wait a minute

The interesting thing is that when I was at school it was the norm to do only 9 O levels yet I seemed to have a broad curriculum enabling me to take history and geography which I loved and also music, French and German. We only had to do one sci subject which was quite enough!
