Thinking about the impact of the triple lock on the state pension can be confusing as there's a number of interacting moving parts (earnings, inflation, 2.5%). 🤷‍♂️❓ But here's a visualisation that hopefully might help...1/5

If I've learned anything from writing a book about an infamous (and murderous) fraudster, it's that people who are corrupt have an affinity for others who share their values. FIFA was always an organisation with which Trump 'could do business' 😉

Farcical psychodrama returns! The new Private Eye is out now.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1675 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The cover parodies the TV drama Rivals, with the headline “FARCICAL PSYCHODRAMA RETURNS!” The central image shows portrayals of senior Labour politicians posed in a countryside setting around a bed. A speech bubble reads, “We are all trying to screw each other!” At the bottom, a heading reads “YES! THEY ARE BONKERS!”

Am I right to understand that Kemi Badenoch is now demanding Rachel Reeves’ resignation because RR failed to raise all the taxes Kemi called on her to resign for if she did raise them? 🤪 KB really does strike me as perhaps this govt’s only major bit of luck.

A few years ago, Kay Burley debated Bob Crow. She suggested train drivers were overpaid. She reckoned drivers just sat down all day and pressed buttons. In contrast to Burley, who sat down all day reading stuff out and making glib observations for many times more than any driver.

There's plenty of valid criticism of the BBC's coverage of Reform, but the BBC is a big & complex organization so it's wrong to generalise, as this solid piece of analysis from @benchu.bsky.social illustrates.

If Lambeth are forced to pull a series of massive festivals starting *this month* then I assume they could be liable for organisers’ costs - which could presumably run into millions. That could have big consequences, and not good ones.

Worth considering whether Trump's act today was all intended to divert public attention completely away from the confirmation hearings for Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard, the two nominees likely to face greatest difficulty entering his government.
