Rachel Reeves, whose budget was almost entirely and deliberately briefed in advance of her statement, says it is "deeply disappointing" that the OBR has accidentally done the same

The leaked OBR assessment states that Rachel Reeves decision to freeze income tax thresholds will raise ÂŁ8.3 billion in 2029-30. So income tax will be going up, contrary to the election pledge, but stealthily, rather than openly

Iâm a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leaveâs unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. Heâs now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise https://t.co/AfwPdlw1S4

"Farage repeatedly... said Hitler was right and 'gas 'em' and that was frequently followed by a 'sssss'... the sound of escaping gas "Farage's words "hit hard" because his grandparents escaped Nazi Germany and much of his family perished in the Holocaust" https://t.co/y3A4KQZCsX

Wrote about this a couple of weeks ago. And itâs a deficit of self-awareness which goes far beyond some of those on the BBC board.
FWIW, I do know Robbie Gibb, having met him almost 30 years ago when he was working for the Tories & always quite liked him. But the claim by this self-identifying âThatcheriteâ to be a completely impartial BBC arbiter is as ludicrous as me claiming Iâm not partial towards Labour

Was trying to work out in which way Shabana Mahmood, an otherwise pretty unremarkable politician, could possibly be described as a "luminous golden star" who "dazzles like a blue-white supernova" and then I realised, its simply a willingness to be a bit more cruel to immigrants

When I asked Nigel Farage's spokesman last week he flatly denied that his boss had ever racially abused anyone Now Farage is only saying he never did so intentionally. So the racial slurs just accidentally slipped out of his mouth at multiple times to multiple different people?

Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent" Does he think there's a non-hurtful way to racially abused someone?
