Folks, I’m sorry to tell you. It’s Kwasi Kwarteng. So no need to liquidate your pension and hide it under your pillow. But maybe let’s stick to more balanced sources for our economic news.

Very proud to have spoken up for the 1 in 2 local kids who live in poverty in Tipton, Wednesbury and Coseley today, in a debate called by the Tories on child poverty. The cheek of them to lecture us! When relative poverty went UP 900,000 kids on their watch

The lurching horror of our national immigration narrative is on full display today. Even two years ago, I believe almost all media would have framed the victims of the Afghan leak as allies to whom we have a duty of care. In the Mail today, they are ‘migrants’ being ‘smuggled’ in to the country.

The Tory response to climate change in general and electric cars in particular is pitiful. Wishing it would go away isn't a policy it's an abdiction of one. I'm in the market for an electric car. The design and innovation are impressive. We need to embrace future changes not be terrified of them.

If the day ever comes when the media starts challenging Reform about the lies and nonsense policies it's going to be nauseating watching those who created them hand wringing about how could this have happened.

Khan at least won three consecutive mayoral elections. The last three Tory candidates *actually* failed, but that didn’t stop them from making Zac Goldsmith and Sexist Shaun Bailey members of the House of Lords. No doubt Susan Hall will follow soon. Talk about “rewards for failure” 🙄 #hypocrites
