PHIL SILVERS on how his comedy 'went the other way', what a great writer but poor talker Nat Hiken was, and how Bilko’s bonkers barked orders only came about because Silvers simply couldn’t have remembered the real commands for a half hour live TV show.

The debate seems to have moved on to who the next chancellor will be. It looked like Ed Milliband though Wes is now being suggested. Torsten Bell would be interesting.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, "Let us say to our British friends" "If they stand ready to return to the EU Single Market with all associated privileges and duties" "They will be be met with open arms" Sounds like a plan. Who's in?

What did you do on Monday, Matt? Well, I popped in through this front door to hear the #ChancellorOfTheExchequer Rachel Reeves talk about #Britain’s economy and #LabourValues! Nice!

The UK Labour government recently published its #FinancialInclusionStrategy to help those currently excluded from mainstream financial services. In WHD, I raised its importance for #Watford residents.

People in #Watford care about the environment and so as your MP, I was delighted to be part of this committee which has voted to ban plastics in baby wet wipes. Better for the environment, better for our sewage system and better for you.

I had to read this twice to believe it...Meloni, who ran for office on an anti-immigration platform, has now announced plans to let in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, in order to deal with the Italian labor shortage www.reuters.com/world/italy-...

reuters.com

Italy to issue half million non-EU work visas over next three years

The move is part of a strategy to expand legal immigration channels in response to labor shortages.

We regret the unjustified US 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports. The EU will protect its consumers and businesses. We are launching swift, proportionate countermeasures worth up to €26 billion, matching the economic impact of the US tariffs. More about our response ↓ europa.eu/!rcMqWy

I phoned my home insurance company to question the 36% increase in the policy and was told it was partly due to a lack of builders which increases rebuilding costs. Another Brexit benefit.
