Paddington is polite, kind and full of integrity and loved by just about everyone he meets. Maybe she doesn't have a clue...

Badenoch says IHT hits “ordinary middle class families” across the country (whereas I’m pretty sure that only 1 in 20 estates pay it) She has promised to exempt family homes from IHT

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. The prime directive of the Conservative Party is to get and hold power. The idea that it would risk throwing away the opportunity merely because it involved an albeit uncomfortable arrangement with another right-wing party is clearly for the birds.

Kemi Badenoch: I'd rather have another election than do a deal with Reform UK

The Conservative Party leader also pledged to cut the cost of hiring 21 to 24 year olds.

So after years of insisting to the point of demanding corrections of anyone saying Manchester City is owned by the UAE and not a private investment of “his highness” sheikh Mansour, City will now insist in its appeal that City is actually owned by the UAE. Riiiggghhht then. 🥸

Such an ahistorical, geographically illiterate, and all-around dimwitted take from Harwood. He's one of those entitled people who are so imbued with self-confidence that they rattle crap off, and their followers just accept it to be true.

There’s the headline quote and then there’s the stuff about Everton … unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, the prime minister of this country is trying to sway an investigation into culprits of widespread corporate fraud in their favour. Truly, a jaw-dropping, appalling intervention.

Access to culture is a right, not a privilege. Keeping museums free means millions can continue to explore, learn and be inspired, regardless of their background or income. That's good for London, and good for ensuring cost is never a barrier to discovery.

Reading the independent report into Man City's financial "arrangements" now, stopping after every paragraph, saying "Jesus"..."JESUS!"..."Holy fuck!" and again. This is beyond anything anyone imagined. Also started to wonder whether criminal proceedings are in the picture now.

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

it might backfire horribly on him but if so, boy is Andy Burnham going out with a bang. Do wonder if that speech could only have been made by someone who was out of Westminster for the madness years & isn't as scared of the public - he's gambling on them still grudgingly respecting conviction

Well, that Andy Burnham speech was, in my book, rather impressive - and moving. The portents were good as soon as The Farm anthem started up.

I don't want to just dunk on Bryant, who is new in post, but successive UK Govts have been profoundly complacent about the stability of NI even after several summers of rioting. That the Secretary of State is only coming to NI now is jaw dropping.

This drinking in the stands at football thing.. It's remarkable how enmeshed we are with drinking while watching sport, as if the two are the same thing. I have the odd pint behind the goal at Lewes FC. But Test matches and Twickenham games for example are all-day sessions. An odd relationship.
