Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

Two tier policing. Arrest retired folk peacefully protesting genocide in Gaza. Allow right wing thugs to block streets and ports. I know which group presents the real threat to democracy and the so-called “British way of life”, which these vigilante bullies preposterously claim to be defending.

Sainsbury's usually hires about 17,000 extra workers at Christmas. Instead they will have 10,000 people on 'Work Experience' paid for by YOU. The result a massive, up to 10,000, DECREASE in the amount of actually jobs available. Oh and it costs about £30m to YOU, and nothing to Sainsbury's.

Why isn’t there a total moratorium on all reporting on Reform until after the multiple investigations into their finances have been completed? Free propaganda for potentially corrupt liars should be banned. It might make them think twice before breaking rules and taking the piss out of all of us.
