3.8 million people in the U.K. are now officially destitute - more than double five years ago. It is a Victorian scandal for modern Britain, where Tory policies have left millions to beg for toilet roll and a warm meal.

Yep. How can almost 1 in 3 people look around and think "I think I'll vote for more of this"? I just can't get my head around it.

'It is a psychological assault: lying awake at night anxious about the bailiffs knocking, or counting the slices of bread in the cupboard, wondering which day your children won’t get breakfast this week.'

Sunak is cowardly enough to hold an election in the winter of 24/25, but I'm not convinced he's quite stupid enough. If you've lost the air war, you really need a strong ground war. Asking lots of mostly older volunteers to go out in the cold wet darkness seems... suboptimal.

Hilarious take by the Mail - 40 Tories could lose their seats due to stealth taxes NO - 352 Tories could lose their seats for being Tories and 13 years of devastation

At some point we're going to have talk seriously about the US attitude to the world, given a widespread view there of being the victims of world trade despite being one of the wealthiest countries by almost any measure (though obviously not life expectancy).

Agree. I admit I gave up in the end. This looks more familiar, which just helps to get you going. I'd love a tablet version - I'm pretty crap at typing much on a phone. 🙄

I bet Mr Case is relieved it's not the DWP determining whether or not he's fit enough to give evidence.

“Cap on bankers' bonuses to be scrapped. Introduced in 2014 when the UK was part of the EU, the cap was designed to curb excessive risk taking in the financial services industry in the wake the financial crash.” Tories “delivering for the British people” whilst 1m children are living in destitution

Well it has been a few months since the UK government threatened to breach the Northern Ireland Protocol / Windsor Framework so this extract from Politico's evening newsletter comes as little surprise...

Deputy Leader of the House under Truss. 6-7 years after that first complaint made and about 5yrs after the second. So they knew. That rôle involves oversight of the Parliamentary Complaints system. Give. Me. Strength
