The Chancellor is claiming today's rate cut as a sign of success - but let's look at what the Bank of England actually said... The Bank are increasingly concerned about "the risk to medium-term inflation from weaker demand", because of rising unemployment and low growth (1/5)š§µ
Today's interest rate cut is the sixth since the election, the fastest pace of cuts in 17 years and good news for families with mortgages and businesses with loans. There's more to do on the cost of living, that's why we're cutting Ā£150 off energy bills and freezing rail fares.

Labour's local government finance settlement out today delivers a 3-year punishment beating to shire districts, while urban areas do better. Upper tier funding is more even (see below) but many lower tier shire councils are going to be facing a very difficult time. (1/3)

Must read thread from @NJ_Timothy on Bridget Phillipsonās disastrous decision to axe lots of special schools & free schools up and down the country.
Bridget Phillipsonās Education Department is a mess. And children, parents and schools are paying the price. A š§µ on the cancellation of previously-approved free schools, including much-needed special schools.

65 Labour peers didn't turn up. One even joined the exodus to live in Dubai. That's why you lost the vote, Angela. You can't even get your own Lords to vote for this dreadful Bill.
33 Tory hereditary peers voted against the Employment Rights Bill last week. We lost the vote by 24. That could mean some of the lowest earners will not get statutory sick pay this April. We must pass this Bill without delay.

Fourteen straight months of rising unemployment. No mystery. No global shock. Just a government that taxed jobs and killed growth. Only @Conservatives will get Britain working again.
The revised estimate of payrolled workers in October 2025 shows a decrease of 22,000 from September 2025, and provisional estimates for November 2025 show a further decrease of 38,000. Read the release ā”ļø https://t.co/GfLm6UHqyC

Labourās Unemployment Bill will destroy jobs and open the door to widespread strikes, handing over control of workplaces to the unions. With unemployment and costs rising, this is not what businesses or workers need. @griffitha for @ConHome

If Labour force through the Bill this week, the next Conservative government will repeal all of its job-destroying and union militant boosting measures.

EXCLUSIVE: Reform-led Worcestershire County Council has applied to the government for permission to potentially hike council tax by 'up to 10%' - which would be the biggest increase in the authority's history. Here's what I wrote back in October..... https://t.co/7iaFmyql6u

The county council is asking people for opinions on large tax rises next year to cover deficits.

When young people canāt find their first job, they will know who to blame. When the vulnerable or pensioners canāt get back on career ladder, they will know who to blame. All the alarms are sounding, yet Labour just wonāt listen. They need to scrap their (Un)Employment Bill.

Heartbreaking scenes emerging from Bondi Beach of what looks like another despicable terrorist atrocity. As Jews across the UK gather to welcome Chanukah, we must once again remind ourselves of the enduring power of the story of the Maccabees, not only to Jewish history but to

Up to 77 shovel-ready special schools axed - the "units" govt hopes to replace them with aren't planned or even agreed with schools - this will cause a big gap
Up to 77 planned special and AP free schools could be ditched with funding instead going to councils to deliver extra places . This is definitely happening with at least 18 projects .
