The UK is now back in adult leadership but needs to get closer to Europe again - and more distant from Trumpton.

@mentourpilot.bsky.social Any news on the airbus groundings? They provoke a number of queries.

Surely if people with little money have more money in their pockets they spend more. Can't that bring growth? #bbcpm

To frame tax as a burden is a right wing trope. #bbcpm

Am I alone in thinking there hasn't normally been this much fuss about a government breaking it's manifesto commitments? #bbcpm

Surely men at high risk of prostate cancer surely means any man over the age of 60. #bbcpm

Cutting immigration may be popular in the short term, but in the longer term it will be economically disastrous.

My understanding is that most older men have prostate cancer but that most men will die with it rather than from it. #wato

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...

Today's migration stats illustrate the migration doom loop in action...

The two-child cap pushed half of children in larger families into poverty. Today, Labour abolishes it.

I stood for office to stop drawing charts and start changing them. This change will see the biggest drop in child poverty of any parliament on record.

Know what that is? Hope.

If we are to have fewer immigrants, we need more babies to provide the workforce. Even then there will be a near 20 year before the fit young adults we need are provided. #wato

Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.

OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty
