John Prescott exposed the collusion of the political and media establishment in their efforts to tarnish Jeremy Corbyn's reputation. May he Rest In Peace.
All this Allison Pearson nonsense turns out to be official nonsense, so it has drawn in the usual rentacrowd idiots like Boris, Elon Musk ( how pathetic is that ?) etc quoted in the Teleg and Mail. Will they apologise to Essex coppers? Nah theguardian.com/media/2024/nov…
Almost two-thirds (63%) of charities report board vacancies. Many organisations are now overly reliant on very small teams. Read more in our new VCSE barometer blog with @VCSEObservatory ow.ly/CsZ650U15tw
Bank of England boss to say UK must 'rebuild relations' after Brexit. It’s increasingly clear that we won’t get economic growth without repairing the damage of Brexit bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
We are low down Trump’s list for a trade agreement and any trade agreement will have major strings attached…SPE conference
Truly beyond (self) parody from @goodwinmj, who blocked me not for observing that he'd become a far-right grifter, but for pointing out that he'd misinterpreted/misread a chart and hence misled his readers...

Honest and brave Israeli journalists are prepared to describe Israel's program of ethnic cleansing and the deliberate slaughter of innocent civilians accurately. No excuse for UK-based ones not to do the same archive.ph/dlcYF
Seriously? I know this was in the Red Book. And I'm no expert on rules covering what government depts can/cannot say. But at best this is dubious. And that's being generous. Increasing NI was the central tax raising measure in the Budget. What is the point in pushing this line?
More than 300 electoral college votes. Control of the Senate and almost certainly the House. 5 million plus margin. This too close to call election turns out be an emphatic Trump victory. Our mental map of the US needs wholesale rewriting. No longer a shining city on a hill.
SNAP POLL / 57% of Britons are unhappy about Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election Very unhappy: 45% Fairly unhappy: 12% Neither happy nor unhappy: 19% Fairly happy: 9% Very happy: 11% yougov.co.uk/politics/artic…
Trump's win should act as a warning to the Labour government: If we fail to address deep-rooted inequality and the cost of living crisis, we risk leaving a void that can be filled by the far-right. When people feel ignored, they look for alternatives.
At her first #PMQs as Leader of the Opposition, @KemiBadenoch claimed Labour’s Autumn Budget “did not even mention defence”. This isn’t correct. Defence spending was referred to multiple times in the Budget document and also in the chancellor’s speech. buff.ly/4eowNYK
A rare table, rather than a graph, from me! This seemed for once the right choice. While the US accounts for 22% of UK exports, it only accounts for 15% of theUK's goods exports (exposed to tariffs). A remarkable 68% of UK exports to the US are services. #dataisbeautiful
US voters consistently named the economy as one of their top concerns in surveys, including the exit poll. Here's some context on what's happened to average American incomes, after inflation, since 2016.👇

Trump: “It used to be global warming but that didn’t work because we’re actually cooling.” Dear US, please don’t give us a president who has totally lost contact with reality. Global warming is an observed fact. Millions are suffering the impacts: more heat, drought & floods.
Paul Johnson, on farmers being impacted by inheritance tax change: “The complaints are massively overdone. This affects a very small number of farms each year. They’re still going to be better treated than anyone else in terms of inheritance tax” trib.al/Rx0iR33
Important context from @DanNeidle So much special pleading and motivated reasoning when favourable tax treatment is reduced. Makes rational reform so hard. And why govts should think very hard before introducing any tax breaks. Once there they are very hard to get rid of.
Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR). Quick thread:
