Big move in the budget to lower energy bills by £1bn a year - by scrapping the energy efficiency tax. It’s welcome. But it comes in the same month that a new tax was added to our energy bills - a nuclear tax to pay for Sizewell C - and it’s also £1bn. Kinda standing still aren’t we..:)

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Fiona Hill is correct about Trump thinking the deadline for the nominations for the Peace prize is looming at the end of January 2026. It’s all about him. I wonder if the Norwegian committee accepts peace plans with blackmail attached? #C4news

And still they call it #free childcare when plainly it is not so. Underfunding is the issue! The decline of OFSTED registered childminders started under Liz Truss and her obsession with Agencies. #PoliticsLive
