Imagine going on national TV to complain about the Chancellor not giving you “breathing space” while simultaneously boasting on Instagram about owning six properties
‘John Healey, if you’re listening, where’s my breathing space?’
Business owner Paul Bowen has criticised the Chancellor’s promise to give ‘breathing space’ through measures in his Budget.

I was in the Chamber half hour before prayers.
At no time since 11.00 did he enter the chamber.
The recording shows Danny Kruger wasn't present at 11.54 but by start of PMQs, his colleagues had shuffled up to allow him a seat. Why couldn't they do the same for their Leader?
Nigel Farage was unable to attend the Budget in the Commons because his seat reservation was removed, The Telegraph understands.
The Reform UK leader’s prayer card — a green slip of paper that backbench MPs put on a spot on the green benches to reserve their seat — was moved after it was placed this morning.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Farage's prayer card lacked a valid date stamp and was removed per House of Commons protocol. MPs confirm seats were available and he did not attend prayers.

It was a pleasure to speak to the Mirror about the Jarrow March and be quoted in this!

Who was less sure whether he'd finished, the Shadow Chancellor or the audience?

Today’s vote at the Green Party Conference crosses a line and is rightly being condemned across the political spectrum.
Labour will continue working to ensure Jewish communities are safe and have their rights upheld. We must rid our society of the scourge of antisemitism.

We’ve also noticed it gets dark at night. Do let us know if that’s one of yours too.
As I am travelling back home to North Tyneside I feel hopeful again for the future the country and incredibly grateful I get to work with the best in the business at the @CoopParty.

A remarkable afternoon.
There were many incredible parts of the PM's speech the afternoon but the framing of the speech as making the argument for our politics rather than having an argument with our opponents was a welcome change of tone for our political debate.

This is low, even by the standards of the UK Football policing unit, casually linking the Taylor report post Hillsborough and football tragedies to changes in the law on drinking at matches
Drinking in view of the pitch didn’t cause deaths or injuries - policing failures did
Up the bees 🐝 🐝🐝
