5 important bills have become law today! The removal of the 2-child cap on benefits is law! The removal of hereditary peers from the Lords is law! The measures in the Nov 2025 Budget are law! The 2026/27 spending plans are law! The extra financial support for exports is law! Well done Labour!

Labour announce major investment in Welsh railways, backing the Transport for Wales' vision for the future. Building on the Welsh Governments £1.1bn in upgrading and electrifying the Core Valley Lines and £800m investment in a new rail fleet, this will see the transformation of rail services. 1/3

Good news this morning: inflation fell to 3.0% in January, down from 3.4% in December. This was in line with expectations, with the Bank of England last month suggesting it will continue to fall in future months towards the 2% target - perhaps as soon as April.

Can we all get this information correct in our heads: + Labour have not made any cuts to PIP eligibility and, as of now NONE are planned. + Labour also was NEVER looking at cutting the rates of PIP someone can get. In fact, rates are actually increasing with inflation. 1/3

Rejoin the EU? Not so sure. For a start - it’s not a library. Would take years of diplomacy. We’d have a worse deal: no veto, the euro, freedom of movement. Would the EU emerge ‘unscathed’ in a post-Putin/Trump world anyway? Labour are taking us to a Norway+ style and I’m good with that.

I think it's a fantastic idea. It does 2 things. It encourages enrollment in the military (severely needed) by giving it a go with no long term commitment. It also gives a purpose to kids who have no idea what to do. Giving them new skills, confidence, friendships for life in civilian jobs too.

Tory-run Slough has “lost track” of 500 people living in temporary accommodation, meaning it underestimated its spending by £10m. It blames staff turnover and incompetence, and a new IT system; but while the blunder was spotted in October 2024, officers have only just fessed up to councillors.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?
I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”
