Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Two things can be true at once. Rayner was foolish in her conduct and right to resign. It’s also true she was always despised by much of the right wing press because she was a working class powerful woman.

Reform and X are not Britain, as John Curtice shows, though this loud minority voice thinks it is Migration bad for economy? 32% of public - but 73% of Reform Bad for our culture? 31% of public - 81% of Reform Rights for ethnic minorities have gone too far? 18% of public - but 49% of Reform

I've read Sir Laurie Magnus's conclusion and Rayner's resignation letter. Rayner did breach the ministerial code, but in a very minor way. Under previous governments, we saw more serious breaches on a daily basis without consequence. I hope her absence from government is short.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.

Yes, old Twitter had better vibes and lots more fun sh*tposting about food, TV, and sports. Also, Barack Obama was president and we didn’t have fascists setting up concentration camps. This literally has nothing to do with Bluesky as a social media platform.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Within the space of an evening Musk has gone from (just about) an ally of Trump’s to alleging that he’s in the Epstein files and should be impeached. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon suggests Musk should be deported. Just another normal night in Trump’s America.

Appreciate everyone is focused on the memes but Yusuf quitting Reform & the Musk-Trump spat on same day is a good illustration of how fragile the Populist Right - Libertarian tech bro coalition is. When it works it works for them, but ends up as fundamental interest misalignment

Remarkable that less than a week ago Zia Yusuf was out on the airwaves, including my Sunday show, batting for Reform. Now he’s resigned as Chairman saying: “I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time.”

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

The insane ramblings of a mad man who just initiated a $6 trillion tax increase starting tonight.
President Donald Trump speaks at a podium with the presidential seal, holding a large chart titled "Reciprocal Tariffs" listing different countries and their tariff rates. The CNN news banner at the bottom reads, "TRUMP: WILL IMPLEMENT RECIPROCAL TARIFFS ON OTHER NATIONS." The event is taking place at the White House at 4:27 PM ET, with a large American flag in the background.

By suspending all military aid to Ukraine, Donald Trump has humiliated the people who pretended he was a reliable ally only in search of peace. The UK and Europe must seize frozen Russian assets to resist Putin’s unjust and savage war.
