@A_James_Esq Saw this on social media a couple of days ago. Checked the Parliamentary Standards website and there it was. As you say, it seems to have not been reported elsewhere. Good find!

This is getting quite serious for the Chancellor.
In the run up to the Budget we were told that the OBR’s downgrading of productivity would create a multi-billon black hole. The government started preparing public opinion for a manifesto-breaking rise in income tax.
We were not told that rising wages and inflation meant more tax revenues to offset the productivity downgrade. But Rachel Reeves was.
By October 31 the OBR told Reeves that she was actually sitting on a £4.2 billion surplus. Yet four days later she gave a press conference in Downing Street at which she suggested that the watchdog’s forecasts were worse than expected and made the case for tax rises.
“What I want people to understand ahead of the budget, is the circumstances we face,” she said. “I could … sweep those challenges under the carpet. I am being honest with people.”
In fact, as we now learn, she was being the opposite of honest. She might not survive this.

🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves’ uncle Terry Smith has spoken to The Sun to criticise her Budget

"It’s the worst Budget I’ve ever heard - and I’m 73, so I have been around for quite a few. Rachel is my niece and is a lovely person, but government is totally out of their depth"

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Rachel Reeves, whose budget was almost entirely and deliberately briefed in advance of her statement, says it is "deeply disappointing" that the OBR has accidentally done the same

[Michelle Donohue-M @MichDonohue]

.@andrew_allison has supported the Conservatives through some very tough times. He is an old school Conservative who has championed conservatism in the media even when not popular to do so . He would not have taken this decision lightly.

[Andrew Allison @andrew_allison]

My membership of the Conservative Party has been hanging like a thread for some time. @KemiBadenoch’s conference speech was excellent and stopped me jumping ship, but unless she sacks @kevinhollinrake today, I will no longer be a member of the Conservative Party this evening.

[Michelle Donohue-M @MichDonohue]

@andrew_allison Sorry that you have found yourself in this position. You are right to resign over this. Smearing individuals as Nazis is not something that can be passed off as a humour.

[Michelle Donohue-M @MichDonohue]

@andrew_allison @KemiBadenoch @kevinhollinrake As his constituent and a local Councillor, he is not a Conservative. I know plenty of voters who saved him last year who won't be lending their vote to him next time.

This week the Government's failure to find a solution to the Maccabi ban was then overshadowed by the revelation a small boat migrant had returned after less than a month, which in turn was overshadowed by the collapse of the rape gang inquiry, which in turn was overshadowed by Labour's collapse in Wales, which in turn was overshadowed by the conclusive proof Starmer lied over China, which in turn has been overshadowed by the revelation the Epping sex offender is on the loose. One week. One. Week.

@andrew_allison I think there are parallels between the current state of the CofE and the Conservative Party. Trying to be modern at the expense of what made them pillars of the British establishment.

[Rob Rinder @RobbieRinder]

On the holiest day of the year we are attacked at a Manchester synagogue. Our children walk to school behind barbed wire protected by guns. Yet some still answer this atrocity with “what about…” This is my country, the sanctuary my grandfather found after surviving the Holocaust, promising freedom under the rule of law. Today I pray for the victims, thank the brave who responded and wonder if that promise is fading. A community this small cannot stand alone. If you believe in Britain (wherever you’re from & whatever your faith) you must stand with us. Many Jews cannot imagine a future here and history tells us what follows when that happens.

[Rob Rinder @RobbieRinder]

My grandfather, a Holocaust survivor who had touched the face of tyranny, sometimes went to Speakers’ Corner. He would listen even to the most deplorable things and say: in a free country you can do that, because we are free. Free speech isn’t a luxury, it’s the foundation of democracy. When someone is shot standing on a stage speaking their beliefs, that’s beyond tragedy: it’s a warning. We must defend not only the right to speak, but the safety of ALL those who do.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

FIRST BATTLE WON: After the FSU intervened, the @metpoliceuk have now dropped their X ban on @glinner. The fight back begins…

But, Graham is still under investigation for a Public Order crime and will have to answer bail later this month.

We say that all this is unlawful but the Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, has defended their position saying that the Met had “no choice” but to arrest Graham after a disgraced trans ex-cop reported him for anti-trans posts.

We’re helping Graham sue the Met but we need your help.

Could you chip in here? https://t.co/EpZQhDrf6S

Latest @csjthinktank report exposing the latest madness

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Today we learn the £22 billion Black Hole has become a £50 billion Black Hole. But in her Mansion House speech Rachel Reeves said “It was our government, this government, that restored Britain’s reputation as a beacon of stability by putting the public finances back on a firm footing, getting debt on a downward path”. How is that statement defensible.

Coun Taylor says NYC had "no involvement in the site selection process" and says that her legitimate questions should be directed to NY Police and the CA

However, he agrees that "more ought to have been done to inform residents and elected members" ahead of its installation

[Anttoni Numminen - LDR @A_James_Esq]

Coun Michelle Donohue-Moncrieff asks whether elected members should have had prior notice to the erection of the fixed speed camera in Sherburn, and why that location was chosen

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

“Businesses have warned that the Labour government’s changes to inheritance tax - dubbed the Family Farm Tax - could be catastrophic for the economy and jobs. Experts have warned around 200,000 jobs across the UK could be lost.”
