If the Tory’s stand for anything, it’s gumming up the property market and defending unearned income from that inflated market.

NEW - Kemi Badeoch says there will be no inheritance tax to pay ever on a family home. Interested to know how this affects the housing market. Asset-rich pensioners just got a huge (extra) incentive not to downsize.

Long tribute from Kemi Badenoch in her conference speech to Jeffrey Archer, complete with round of applause. The world is a "less colourful" place without him, she says, which is one way to describe a serial fraudster, fantasist and liar who wrecked several lives in the process.

Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.

Donald Trump in a navy suit. He's opening the jacket, so you can see the label.

A close up of the suit label says Jos. A. Bank.

"I'm not a defence expert." Even by Kemi Badenoch's lamentable standards, this is agonising. Just give thanks she will never, ever be Prime Minister. 🙏 #politicslive

After talking about the triple lock - which Prosper UK want to abolish - there is a show of hands in the room about who thinks it should be scrapped. About 90% think it should. And it’s fair to say a reasonable proportion of people here are beneficiaries of the triple lock.

It’s an obvious point but one worth making: both Davidson and Street are very good communicators and politicians who have won elections for the Tories in unpromising areas…. but are having to pressure from the sidelines rather than being embraced by the party leadership.

The challenge for the Conservatives is that as well as becoming more economically right wing as they become richer voters also become more socially liberal - which creates friction in attempts to win back voters from Reform.

The £100k tax anomaly is mad and needs fixing, but can we drop the fatuous whiny idea that everyone on six figures is aspirational and everyone on less is loafing about with no ambition to speak of? Thankyew.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Ronaldo being dropped (for Ramos who scored) and then leaving the training camp in a huff says everything about his self-absorbed immaturity and his inability to understand the concept of the team. Portugal will be better without him.

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.”

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Again and again we impoverish ourselves to placate the unplacatable, hobbling ourselves and our economy- so that we can no longer afford the things we need, locking us into a downward spiral. Breaking this cycle will take real leadership and vision.

I do find this country mad. Anyone can see that social care is in a state of devastating crisis in this country and that it is the key source of the NHS crisis as well. There is no feasible way to solve it without everyone contributing. Burnham is honest about that and is already getting pelters.

How thick do you have to be to have access to patient records AND not know that access is routinely logged? So, why do it? They will know from recent comms out that summary dismissal is the least sanction they can expect.

"The first thing you can do for me is chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest f*cking dustbin you can find. Because you’ve never won any of them fairly. You’ve done it all by cheating" Brian Clough first meeting with his Leeds squad, 1974

You lot may all be internationals, and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Don Revie. But as far as I’m concerned, the first thing you can do for me is chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest f*cking dustbin you can find. Because you’ve never won any of them fairly. You’ve done it all by cheating.”
