BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄

The Chancellor did not need to concentrate so much of her fiscal consolidation on welfare. Extending the freeze in personal tax thresholds by just a single year would have saved almost as much (£3.9 billion in 2029-30) and would have been shared much more widely across 24 million households.

Everyone with even a smidgeon of clinical training can see that this scenario is completely barking mad (expensive, wasteful, unnecessary, inappropriate) Are there no doctors at all left at NHSE? Is no-one talking to them now? Deeply embarrassing.
