Another institution that the far Right has tried to hijack as it tried to do with the National Trust and BBC.

The Times is reporting that the new tax has brought down the value of properties over £2 million. I may be wrong but does this matter very much, if you have a house over £2 million and your property reduces by £50k, then the one you are buying is likely to have reduced by £50k too.

Here we have an article from the Guardian on schools. Wasn't Michael Goves also responsible for the VIP Covid Contracts, including that given to the company associated with Michelle Mone. He is a man who said "We've heard too much from expert" and now sits in the Lords

How can Nigel Farage defend himself when he is working night and day for the citizens of Clacton-on-Sea in Abu Dhabi?

Here are the actual figures, rather than %, there was 23 votes between Reform and the Conservative Party and the turnout was a low 29% of the electorate.

There are 827 members of the House of Lords; a few have taken leave of absence or are suspended, with just over 800 eligible to vote.
Rather than awarding 25 Peerages to get legislation through, isn't it time to remove 25 peerages from working peers on the other side?

I found the Dimbleby programme interesting. I thought at first it started as sycophantic, but I was pleased it went on to debate the role of the monarch. It highlighted how vacuous Cameron was. I was surprised that Grieves couldn't give a logical answer why he had for 10 years opposed publishing/

Let's be honest, the only one who can run a good party is Nadine, who worked so hard for her constituency of Majestic, Victoria and Oddbins, Districts of Bedfordshire, often giving impromptu speeches in the Flying Cork.

It is interesting to see the headlines on Tuesday's papers from the Mail and Telegraph in comparison to the FT.
It is almost as if the Mail is trying to put a warning shot across the Government's bows not to have a monopolies inquiry into its proposed takeover of the failing Telegraph.

I wonder how long it will be before the cerebral leader of the Tories, the Rt Hon Mark Francoise, the current Shadow Minister of Defence, decides it is time to take his vast TA Catering Corp to Reform. What a colossus he is, towering above lesser mortals. A man who never knowingly 'holds it in'.

What a coup, indeed, Sir Michael. I know he used to rival you in Bunty's affections; she used to use the dog food slogan, 'All meat, a real treat'. He now brings not only his film star looks (which no doubt in the past had 6th formers swooning), but also that rapier mind, and brilliant judgement.

I dislike Reeves, but this is a cheap jibe. Any incoming Chancellor in 2024 was bound to be 'conservative' given what the markets would do to the economy if any chancellor sought be expansionary. Having lived through the Healey Chancellorship you realise what limits there are./

The BBC report a couple want stamp duty abolished. I am sure that we could get other people to come along and want PAYE, NI, VAT, Car Tax, Prescription charges etc abolished. But I never see anything realistically proposed to fund the services that are supported by the public purse/

I am concerned about non-executive board of both private and public corporations and whether they work. As I understand it their main job is develop strategy for executive to implement and to monitor the performance of the corporation and its executive team. But how effective are they?/

I see that Johnson is spinning in yesterday's Mail.
I thought it was evident where the virus came from and the important point that Baroness Hallett was addressing was how we tried to mitigate its effect./

What a disgusting headline on tomorrow Daily Telegraph. The cost of the Inquiry isn't only about what we already knew (or suspected) but also about Inter Government working, preparing for future pandemics and learning.
