Macron: “Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years. “Those who said, "We will be richer" - eight points of GDP less ten years later. "”We will solve the problem of immigration" - it is more complicated than before. "”We are going to crush it in international trade" - it is worse.”

...Put those together and the result is that over 15 years the triple lock has pushed up the state pension in cash terms by more than growth in average earnings and more than the increase in prices...4/5

A commitment to change the triple lock and the voting system at least shows Burnham is seriously about affecting positive change. Good for him

Good. Still pretty generous. Let’s see how much this is misrepresented and misunderstood then

Very much my view - an awful lot of the opposition to removing the triple lock will come from people who don’t understand, have not tried to understand or have been misinformed about what this actually entails and why it’s necessary

Jon Loveridge @jonloveridge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
The thing about the triple lock, ending it doesn’t mean pensions won’t keep pace with inflation pretty broadly - it just means some years it might fall behind wage or price growth and it’s just not guaranteed to out perform both

These anonymous MPs saying it's 'electoral suicide' to tinker with the triple lock. Exactly the type who got us into this mess: unwilling to lead, unwilling to recognise reality for fear of offending voters, unwilling to solve long-term problems if it presents the slightest short-term risk.

A certain section of the right can see the RAF Fairford story as a win/win in terms of narrative - its either 1) our borders are not safe if these people have come from abroad or 2) look at these domestic terrorists refusing to integrate and conform. The reality, as ever, will always be more nuanced

The govt should take this opportunity to explain to the public in painfully specific detail - the clamour to reduce immigration that has been delivered, will cost everyone in reduced spending or increased taxes to compensate for it. If this is what people want, fine, but understand the trade offs

'Which taxes do you want to raise instead?' should be the default question to anyone who calls for reductions in immigration.

Plenty of fans who have been fans of Man City for decades from in and around Manchester perhaps deserve sympathy. But you’d need a heart of stone not to laugh at all those new City fans from the Midlands, Home Counties and the South East who’ve found them in the last 15 years. Absolutely hilarious

It’s obviously all for the grift, so I guess the more extreme the better the clout in this day and age, but the arrogance to go out on the channel on your own boat and commit to vigilantism and put the lives of the RNLI volunteers and other professionals in danger is frankly staggering

As a nation we have been radicalised on attitudes to immigration. Even when it is REDUCING this is how it ranks versus Health, Crime, Environment and Housing. Mad. Just utterly mad

I wouldn’t dispute any of this, especially given the credibility of the source. The problem with this sort of thing of course is that a lot of older generations don’t see it as a cause for empathy and understanding, as they should, instead they see it as a slight on themselves

If you read the quotes here, he says nothing original or interesting. It’s just platitudes about North Sea O&G, American vs. British attitudes, Immigration and Tax - all the sort of “analysis” you can read from cretins on LinkedIn. Why are we meant to think this man’s words or views carry weight?

It’s a bumper day for grumpy old rich guys being granted prominent media platforms to complain about Britain. They don’t have any fresh insights, let alone any solutions. Pub bores in private jets.

Harborne has 3 of the largest political donations of all time, totalling £48M donated to Reform between them - yet the £5M he gave to Farage, we’re meant to believe that this wasn’t political 🙃🥴

Reform is the richest party in Britain. Its leaders are almost all millionaires. It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires. It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing. So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Also, while I think everyone has a responsibiltiy to combat antisemitism and violent extremism, it seems dubious that Netenyahu can do and say whatever he wants - no matter how incendiary - but other governments can't criticize his actions for fear of endangering their Jewish communities.
