Everything else aside it's pretty funny that Rayner was taken down by a baronet.

I’m puzzled. Labourites tell us that Angela Rayner was only trying to look after her child which they quite rightly say is understandable. But when a farmer tries to look after his children, they say he’s a tax dodger.

We paid for Angela Rayner’s education. We paid her wages when she worked for the local council. We paid her wages when she became an MP. We even paid the settlement that enabled her to buy a house. Tax payers have funded every aspect of her entire life.

There isn't going to be an IMF bailout of the UK, but a certain sort of neolib would quite enjoy it. The last Article IV assessment (and many previous earlier ones) suggest the pension triple lock would go, disability benefits would be tightened, and planning reform souped up.

I know this isn't the place for nuance but, for the record, the rise in gilt yields *today* is part of a global move upwards... 👇 (the increases over the last *month* and last *year* are more UK-specific) source: bloomberg.com/markets/rates-…

One of the answers the reshuffled team will have to address is why the cleanest definition of a UK "moron premium" on Gilt yields has (most durably) emerged since the Spring Statement (also flickered in Mini Budget, and mid-2023). Stubborn inflation and a hawkish BoE could be…

On the “IMF bailout” story, the first thing to say is the three economist quoted (Buiter, Chadha & Sentance) are not your usual rent-a-quote right-wingers so there is credibility. There are plenty of kernels of truth here around the long term sustainability of the UK public…

The "richest few " in Britain are predominantly foreign nationals - 8 of the top 10 billionaires. Their wealth is growing because other countries (and their investments there) are booming, while Britain stagnates. Perhaps we should focus more on making Britain boom, too?

It's a fascinating situation for the government: it cannot deal with the small boats because of its religious devotion to international law. Then it cannot legally fulfill its self-imposed duty to house the new arrivals because its planning regime forbids it.

@christiancalgie For me, it was the tortuous ‘innovations’ to parliamentary procedure by Speaker Bercow, especially the forensic mind of @Jacob_Rees_Mogg challenging him on amendments to motions and the precise meaning of ‘forthwith’.

Thinking today about my grandfather who served out in Burma. Six foot one, he came back emaciated weighing six stone, having lived with a pet mongoose called Oscar. Only one in the street who refused to go to VE50 party in 1995 in protest at them not recognising VJ Day!
