Nice of the BBC to mention this in the Business section of their website.

But I can't help thinking if it had been a significant increase on borrowing it would have led the News page with big black doomy headlines ...

Significant fall in government borrowing in December, figures show
More money than expected was collected through tax and higher National Insurance Contributions, although public sector spending also increased.

Farage and Badenoch have done some shabby stuff but priming Trump about the Chagos Islands to embarrass Starmer and trash NATO is the shabbiest.

Starmer slams Trump:

"Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House... for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland."

New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations.

He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)

That’s Starmer bashers this morning trying to pronounce ‘Chagos’ when they heard a quote on something or other.

They wouldnt even to be able to point to it on a map,Americans said it was a historic deal last year but now the worst cause their manchild is crying

also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

not only is this an appalling take which attacks Starmer for the actions of a lunatic and not the lunatic, but also strays well beyond ‘unbiased’ reporting

Leaving NATO at a time like this would be absolutely nuts.

Almost everyone's Trump handling tactic is public flattery and private delay / obfuscation. Why? Because it works better than any alternative that has been tried.

There is though a big weakness which is that this strategy can't actually be publicly communicated.

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a

"full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum."

So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

Please share this. Don’t let the cranks and the Reform racists convince people that Labour isn’t achieving positive results.
Britain is not broken

Out in the real world people are breathing easier.

Interest rates down, wages/pensions going up. Jobs & homes more secure. Europe back on horizon. Schools & hospitals improving. More police/teachers. Investment up, economy is stable,

Thanks Labour
