In any company in the real world in which you and I live and work, if you made a £500 error on a spreadsheet for the business you’d be shown the door.. But in Tory Party, as demonstrated so often during 14 years they were in Govt it’s an achievement which leads to promotion They relish mediocrity❗️

Today, Lifeboat Saturday, I’d like to pay tribute to the many brave men and women who volunteer for the #RNLI, risking their lives to save others in grave danger. I’m appalled at the abuse and intimidation faced by RNLI crews in recent weeks. Let’s support and celebrate this incredible charity.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant. "Subscribe to continue..." No thanks. I'm good.

To see Polanski and Davey jumping on the ‘he’s robbing poor pensioners’ bandwagon is frankly, beneath them. They now exactly what Burnham is doing and why? He’s cutting the TL and replacing it with a double lock to pay for social care. Disgusting politics, no better than the Tories.

The logic works out like this: 1) End of triple lock: you might be a couple hundred quid a year worse off. Maybe. 2) National care service: you won't have to sell the house, the car, and go through pretty much all your savings if you need looking after in your old age.

How is it possible? Because he told a personal, emotive story, sure. But also he told a moral story: using the funds to help establish a care service. It feels fair. And the decision to opt for a branded institutional structure with strong echoes of the NHS makes it tangible.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.
