Editor, Pepshop PR bod, Quiet Riot podcast producer, media trainer, public speaker, you get the idea ... you'll find me anywhere I can play with words and pictures
He's going to have to up his game on actual policies one way or another, so I daresay getting the Tories to do the grunt work is what passes for sensible. Somehow, I can't see him playing Clegg to whoever is the Tory leader if this pans out...
There will come a point where Farage realises he needs non-dregs defectors to look vaguely respectable and Tory frontbenchers realise a pact is the only way they get to carry on being MPs. Then there will be deal.
FT Exclusive: The Reform UK leader told donors he expects a deal or merger between his party and the Conservatives ahead of the next general election, suggesting he does not believe he can sweep to power alone. on.ft.com/44xlHi0

This is a very personal attack by Badenoch on Reeves. Uncomfortably so.
November 26, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Shit. Has Reeves just said she's going to tax Temu and Ali Express parcels? Christmas decorations panic incoming
November 26, 2025 at 1:23 PM
And there it is. Tax thresholds frozen, fiscal drag, higher tax burden for those 'working people' we hear so much about. With an additional flourish to hit landlords et al
November 26, 2025 at 1:16 PM
Employment Rights Bill impact not factored into OBR predictions. In March, it said the ERB would prob negatively impact jobs, inflation and productivity.

So however grim today's figures are, the truth is quite probably even grimmer :-/
November 26, 2025 at 12:50 PM
Even Starmer is getting involved in the shouting now. Scenes!
November 26, 2025 at 12:43 PM
What a racket in the House. We already know tax burden on households goes up, household income effectively flatlines. And Reeves saying 'No return to austerity' is going to ring very hollow.

Opening a book on who's in No.10 & 11 for the next Budget. Long odds on the present incumbents if this Budget is the best they can deliver 😳
November 26, 2025 at 12:31 PM
So, a quick glance tells me personal tax thresholds are being frozen and the tax take is rising to an all-time high of 38 per cent of GDP in 2030-31. Other nuggets are available etc.

May as well go to the pub rather than watch the bloody speech
If this had been a set of company results, pretty much the entire investor relations department would have been fined out banned from the industry by now. I know it isn't a set of a company results, but it actually is possible to do these things without leaking
lol here’s the full OBR book someone pressed publish early here’s the budget obr.uk/docs/dlm_upl...
