@bethrigby.bsky.social I just listened to your budget summary. It is a pity you spent so Much time criticising the Chancellor, added little weight to 450,000 kids being taken out of poverty and didn’t mention getting rid of the rape clause for

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social where’s the budget balance in BBC News’ reporting. They could have carried the BadEnoch sound bite which sounded reasonably accurate - Labour care about kids in poverty, whereas the Tories are just interested in not paying taxes.

#UKBudget BadEnoch’s reaction to the budget - taxpayers pay more to fund welfare.
it’s a fair enough description of the budget - which can be redescribed as ‘Tories say we should put 450,000 kids into poverty’.
I just wonder how many Tory voters would be content with that. I’d hope none.

#EpsteinFiles Trump tells us he had nothing to do with Epstein. He says the abusers were all Democrats.
So what was he doing in those videos at Mar a Lago? Was he then a Democrat?
His new found confidence indicates that he’s pretty sure there’s nothing damning in the files. Have they been edited?

#ICE So ICE has tried to expel Native Americans. Will this mean giving back all the lands stolen by ‘settlers’ and corporations? Will it mean having control to Native Americans? Will it mean that ICE terrorists will be tracked down and put on Trial?

Asylum Seekers. Let’s start by being clear -In international law, we have no illegal asylum seekers.
Now this move says that if people get to the U.K. and after having their claims assessed, will now be reassessed after six months. Setting aside that I know of no war zones at present /cont

#Andrew #Epstein. This is starting to feel like a witch-hunt.
He has suffered public humiliation in the U.K.
If he goes to the US there’s doubt that he will get a fair trial - too many of the US Judiciary are political choices. And suddenly it is the political flavour of the month.
