How the right-wing newspapers still manage to dictate BBC coverage.

Almost all of the Beeb's big post-Budget interview with the Chancellor devoted to asking whether she is a liar.

British banks expect their capital requirements to be eased.

Lower capital requirements and higher leverage to be permitted as post-2008 crash reforms scrapped.

Banks will do more gambling to boost profits. Public purse will bear the cost of bailouts.

This is a strange one, Honestly, does this seem a bit well....scripted or is it just me?

On the other side of the latest, it would appear that the rift in your party might be bollocks. Jeremy Corbyn appears to be less of a social media presence. Calls it "poison"

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.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Explains in today's monologue that no, young people aren't fleeing Labour's budget, they are fleeing a country which they feel has abandoned them.

This is something which will continue to happen, but there is reason for it, inequality...

The worst thing is, not addressing inequality feeds the "you will own nothing and you will be happy" narrative, basically makes it into a self-fulfilling prophecy, further erodes trust and concedes ground to the wealthy who made the decision that we will indeed be poor.

Good things did happen tho
Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?
