Rejoining the customs union looks more likely by the day. And anyone with the vaguest understanding of the economics sees it as the first step towards the SM. This is a big political gamble.

Tory Scottish Treasurer Lord Malcolm Offord defects to Reform on stage at Nigel Farage Falkirk rally. Farage describes this as a ‘brave’ move. Offord convinced Reform can win in May.

Thank you

No.

The UK Government is polling at 14 per cent.

Two years ago, over half of Brits supported these strikes. Now it's just 38%. Doctors have been educated at great public expense, will go on to earn decent salaries and enjoy eye-wateringly generous pensions. No wonder they are losing the goodwill of the public.

Some highlights @BeauMiller10 @pgschools

Labour MPs are claiming Richard Hughes has acted with "integrity" for resigning over the OBR's leak 45 minutes before the Budget. Yet at the same time they insist Reeves should remain in post after leaking details two weeks early.

Richard Hughes has just resigned as OBR Chair. Rachel Reeves’s position now looks even shakier.

Starmer saying the Budget “was a moment of personal pride” because Labour lifted the two-child benefit cap. Reminder he suspended 7 MPs who rebelled against keeping the cap last summer. More gaslighting.

Being from an ‘ordinary background’ does not absolve Reeves from the lies she has told and the damage she has deliberately inflicted on the economy. It’s dishonest to imply otherwise.

If Top G locks “Talk 2 Me Nice” as his official Dec 20 walk-in, the entire timeline is gonna feel it. Energy is too perfect to ignore. @Cobratate 🫡

'A Chancellor fabricating an economic emergency to raise taxes surely cannot expect to hold onto office for very long' | Writes @AnnabelDenham1 Has Reeves's credibility been shattered? Read on here 👇 https://t.co/maAUPCK1VE

We are reducing net migration by forcing out people who, if not all millionaires, have the good sense to see where the country is heading and the get-up-and-go to act on it. Meanwhile we are importing many people for whom we will end up paying. This is not sustainable.

A reminder that, in addition to misleading the markets and gaslighting the public, Labour also slashed jury trials this week. The damage to our reputation, to confidence in the government, to trust in our institutions is hard to overstate.

Whatever the reason behind No 10 and the Treasury’s disgraceful deceit, it is not good for Britain’s reputation to have such an unstable government. Starmer and Reeves are turning us into 1990s Italy.

The Chancellor lied about raising taxes, then lied about the reason why she’s raising taxes. She has lied to MPs, she has lied on national television. Had a Tory politician done this, Reeves would’ve demanded their immediate resignation. Her position is untenable.

At no point did the OBR forecast the govt would miss its fiscal rules by a large margin. Reeves knew this when she gave that pre-Budget speech. Her credibility is shot. Her CV was a work of fiction, the "worst inheritance" a lie that demeaned Labour. But this is a new low.

Finally, after 16 months, Labour gets something right.

Well at least she didn't bang on about being a woman.

Reeves removing the two-child limit in full as a sop to the Labour Left. Will do nothing to mollify disgruntled backbenchers, will cost billions, will wipe one of the last traces of financial restraint in our bloated welfare system. And it's not even popular with the public.

Lots of big tax rises, mostly happening around election year. What could possibly go wrong?
