Trade unionists just desperate to get day one sick pay, y’know?
Also love this from Mainstream, once again showing their complete lack of trade union support. The unions who could claim to be ‘high and dry’ were the smol ones who weren’t invited to the grown ups‘ table by their peers

Maybe we should build HS2 in full and increase capacity on the network. It was never just about speed.

Exclusive: Rail regulator pulls Avanti service from timetable from mid-December but it is needed for staff travel
The good news for rail travel between Manchester and London is that a morning train will continue to link England’s biggest cities in under two hours. The bad news: passengers will no longer be able to get onboard.
The rail regulator has axed one of Britain’s fastest and most lucrative intercity services, the 7am Avanti West Coast from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston, as part of a timetable shake-up that will take effect in mid-December. Continue reading...

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Fascinating that the cash ISA limit is the most unpopular item in the budget. I would have thought it would be unpopular but not more so than e.g. freezing tax thresholds.

Govt response to the net migration figures collapsing is so depressing. This is why you don't chase this tiger! People aren't happy even if you have actual success on this!

One of my most enduring gripes. Politicians are told not to patronise voters. The most patronising approach is to nod along when they believe stuff that's not true, or encourage them
this is one of the reasons not to do policy by poll or focus group
New net migration figures at 930am.
Net migration fell half a million to 344,000 in 2024 from 848k in 2023
56% of people think it went up last year
17% think stayed the same
14% think it went down
2025 figure to be lower again
16% expect that
38% think it will be up
31% about the same

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

One of Keir Starmer’s tragedies is that his political instincts are much better than his hiring ones, which is why so many stories have the form of “Starmer [wanted to do something they obviously had to do]. But his chancellor and his chief aide convinced him they should hold out, fruitlessly”.

Aiui this is a regional thing too. Give people in London cheaper rent and they can spend more money on Warhammer made in Nottingham, and also on divorce lawyers
UK’s problem is that we don’t have enough disposable income, which you can fix by things getting cheaper or by people earning more money, and also either one of those things makes the other easier.

There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.
