The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

A good day for Ed Miliband: mansion tax introduced, green levies moved off bills to taxation, ban on new North Sea oil and gas licences confirmed.

It makes a massive difference having Sarr, Bergvall, and Gray in the team. Their presence allows us to press aggressively with high tempo and relentless energy.

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

Don’t forget, no matter how much Nigel Farage tries to shape Reform UK’s economic policy to win votes, at heart he’s a disaster capitalist.

"Farage repeatedly... said Hitler was right and 'gas 'em', and that was frequently followed by a 'sssss'... the sound of escaping gas.
"He said Farage's words had "hit hard" because his grandparents had escaped Nazi Germany and much of their family had perished in the Holocaust"

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Reform UK are going to announce a policy where all EU citizens will be stripped of all benefits and double the NHS surcharge
They will be given 3 months notice. If the EU refuses to accept these terms, there will be a ‘trade retaliation’ with the EU?
Race to the bottom in the sewage of racism.

Our public transport services - and especially our trains - are too expensive.
Freezing rail fares is a step in the right direction and one I really welcome.

Regulated fares, which include season tickets and off-peak returns, will not see annual price rises for the first time in 30 years, the government announces.

But each time we battle, the blood and the fury takes us a little higher
