🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham reacts to the Government's Council Tax Band checker crashing
Because he’s a grifter and a liar. The most unpopular leader in the country desperately flailing around in search of relevance. 👋
NEW @Telegraph understands Nigel Farage did not display a valid date stamp on his prayer card and it was removed as per Chamber protocol.
I also understand Mr Farage did not attend prayers and did not approach Commons staff regarding a seat reservation.

MP Jonathan Brash says budget will help thousands of Hartlepool households and businesses trib.al/kWwb4oK
🇬🇧 Budget boost for Hartlepool!
£100 for 42,000 households, action to cut energy bills, and business rates relief for high street shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants.
Putting money back in families’ pockets and backing local businesses. 🇬🇧
Was he there for prayers at the start? Otherwise it would be removed. Those are the rules. Incidentally, one of his reform colleagues was free to give up their seat.
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.

My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now.
It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security.
A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.

Hartlepool MP Jonathan Brash meets Prime Minister Andy Burnham to discuss fairer funding for emergency services trib.al/G3pPFY7
You meet people like this all the time in politics. Products of their echo chambers, sneering at anyone who doesn’t share their po-faced, joyless view of the world. The PM went on a show that many people love, it was fun and it raised money for a cancer charity. Good for him.
'Is that a really good use of his time?'
'Raising money for a cancer charity?'
The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

NEW modelling in the @DailyMail : low and middle-income households face a projected £900 Council Tax hike over the next decade if nothing changes.
Labour MPs are now urging the Chancellor to act at the Budget. A Proportional Property Tax would mean lower bills for 77% of us.
The budget is the time to act 👇dailymail.com/news/article-1…

🚨 New figures show that knife crime is down by 11% and overall homicides are down by 7%, since July 2024.
Fatal knife attacks are also at their lowest level in 35 years.
I 100% support the Home Secretary and her migration reforms.
Exclusive:
Shabana Mahmood is fighting a rearguard action to save her migration reforms in the face of mounting public criticism from cabinet colleagues
The home secretary is under pressure to water down her plans to make it harder for foreign workers to claim permanent residence
Andy Burnham, the prime minister, is considering exempting care workers from plans to extend the qualifying period for claiming indefinite leave to remain (ILR) from five years to 15 years
However, the Home Office has argued that the move could backfire because it could lead to an exodus of foreign care workers from their jobs once they gained permanent residence and were no longer bound by the terms of their visas
A senior ally of Mahmood said she retained Burnham’s broad support over the plans: “Andy has been on Shabana’s side throughout this row over ILR. He is holding the line.”
