I think it is straightforwardly true that lots of people watched lots of unredacted footage from Gaza in a way that just wasn’t possible wrt Rwanda or Bosnia and it caused serious mental health issues in some and sent others spiralling into political extremism Thing is that’s bad

I don’t think scrapping the triple lock will be popular, probably similar level to winter fuel allowance. But fuck it. He should be doing it now not afte an election.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.

Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

Last week, the Barbakan owner plead poverty to Andy Burnham and all the hospitality places in Chorlton and Manchester backed her up. It turns out her Dad is extracting millions in retirement. There is no poverty, just bad financial planning. www.reddit.com/r/manchester...

EXC - We *also* have an MRP out today - which has some very striking findings. Progressives who vote tactically to stop Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could push his party into FOURTH place. The poll also shows Burnham’s Labour is winning back left-leaning voters. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just heard Tom Gordon - Lib Dem MP for Harrogate talking on the radio about his party’s proposed 10p cut in fuel duty. “That’ll cost about £5bn. For that money, you could make public transport free for the whole country, and I know which I’d rather do.” Assuming he means the latter, 👏👏👏👏👏

What on earth is happening?

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.
