Brexit is not just one, it’s a whole bloody herd of elephants in the room. The energy Labour are using up to ignore them is mind boggling.

Brexit is the elephant in the Budget room
The build up seems to get longer and longer each year. The subtle hints and wild guesses about what surprises are in store are on everybody’s lips. It’s beginning to look a lot like Budget day.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

I'm tired of responding to bad-faith MAGA outrage, which always distracts corporate media, centrists, & those who feel they must indulge their temper tantrums.
They're blaming all of us now for the National Guard shooting.
Just say:

Urgent Q today in the Commons from 10:30am:
Robert Jenrick MP — To ask the SoS for Justice "if he will make a statement on the Government’s reported plans to further restrict the right to trial by jury for almost all offences."
Deeply unfortunate that juries have Jenrick as their defender today.

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.
Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?
For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Wow the right-wing papers are really on a three line whip today
The predictable crushing uniformity of the coverage of this Budget tells you an awful lot about the priorities of those papers, and also why there's actually quite a lot to praise in it bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

This incredibly irresponsible alcoholic idiot is calling for 500 additional troops in Washington. Because that won't incite more violence.
Everything about this silly "Secretary of War" is about saber rattling and pretending he is so strong. He really must have been picked on in school.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.
