Always good to have Steve Baker, a man who did so much to deliver the 4%+ structural reduction in GDP since Brexit, pontificating about how we don't have enough money to deliver what people actually want #newsnight

Fantastic evening @thetungauditorium.bsky.social yesterday with Dame Imogen Cooper, Henning Kraggerud and Adrian Brendel playing Schubert. Music and performances to help you leave the troubles of the everyday behind for a short while. Thanks to all three for a wonderful concert

Is Chris Mason the political editor of the BBC or the head of PR for Reform? The smug dribbling child needs to make his mind up.
