'I think he's worried... I'm not really interested in what he's saying.' Tory leader Kemi Badenoch reacts as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage taking aim at the Conservative Party 'at a time where the Chancellor is in the dock'.

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.

I watched the @WMPolice Chief Constable's evidence to @CommonsHomeAffs again. As far as I can see, we are being asked to believe that Dutch Police lied: - in their report on the Ajax-Maccabi game a year ago - to the Dutch public - to the Dutch media - to ⁠their own

Can you imagine the shrieks about contempt for rule of law and human rights if Boris or any Brexiteer had tried to do away with jury trials?

Missed my train and lost my bottle 🤦‍♂️

Utterly damning for Rachel Reeves. Makes clear the extent to which Reeves and her aides were themselves deliberately leaking sensitive data to try and manage political expectations, and, when that went wrong, to desperately try and stabilise the markets.

when you think ending jury trials will cut the courts backlog because you misremembered a dickens novel

Mildly concerning the justice secretary thinks a fictional Victorian chancery trial is a good analogy for the current crisis in the criminal courts.

@DavidLammy Take a good look at this chart @DavidLammy. See that downward slope between 2015 and 2019? It is essential that the courts backlog is crushed. And experience proves that you don't need to end jury trials to do it.

What a thing to have on the wall in Reeves office.

This you, Nigel? 👀

Don't forget Starmer has made him Deputy Prime Minister

The Starmer-Reeves Great Deception. Like his Chancellor, Starmer claims taxes had to rise because OBR forecasts showed a huge shortfall. Both Starmer and Reeves are being dishonest. Let’s start with Reeves’ self-imposed fiscal rule: by 2029/30 tax revenues should be £10bn more

Brilliant reactive questioning @CamillaTominey Lib Dem demands for proportional representation apparently do not apply to broadcasting. They ludicrously suggest media balance guidelines, currently proportionate to party support, should instead be based on First Past the Post 🤣

Labour say many people on benefits are working. That’s true. But on average only 20 hours a week. Why should those working 40 or 60 hours a week, who aren’t well off and have kids of their own, pay more in tax to pay for those working less? Many will think, why do I bother?

There shouldn’t be council houses worth £2m. They should be sold, receipts ring-fenced to build social housing in more affordable areas. Frankly it is outrageous that my commuting constituents pay 50% marginal rates to fund social housing in areas they couldn’t afford to live.

Now PM still doubling down “Yes, of course, all the other figures have to be taken into account. But we started the process with significantly less than we would otherwise have had.” As Ed points out, that’s just not true:

Someone has resigned as a result of the budget chaos... but it isn't Rachel Reeves. The Chancellor is trying to use the Chair of the OBR as her human shield. But I will not let her. Why is it ALWAYS someone else's fault with Starmer and Reeves? https://t.co/A1nxdBHrWJ

Rachel Reeves introduced a special subsidy for Abu Hamza's family home.
