Comms person, genuinely awful footballer.

Gone.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

Is that surprising? He can afford to. Nobody in the current or future White House knows who Ed Davey is and has no need to.

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

Lib Dems Ed Davey has taken a stronger line than the PM:

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

So many chunks of broadcast eaten up whining about the tough choices faced by privately educated households, so few chunks used to explain that big employer NICs hikes tend to = lower pay growth and fewer new jobs.

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

The right could have focused on attacking employer NICs as a tax on jobs. Instead, they're focusing on billionaires upset about paying IHT on their farms and private schools fees. Labour will be fine with that.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

The very fabric of it eh

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

Born in Devon, educated in Hampshire, former MP of Portsmouth, can’t wait to hear all about her rich, longstanding connection to the capital.

🚨 NEW: Penny Mordaunt has been tipped to stand for London Mayor in 2028

[@JAHeale]

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

So petty. I reckon we should improve the UK’s relationship with Europe but I don’t think offering tax breaks for London’s international schools does anything to achieve that.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

‘48% believe Reeves should prioritise cutting taxes, 43% want more money for public services’ there’ll be many who have both in their top two because the UK is forever this:

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

EXCL: Polling by @Savanta_UK shows just 20% of voters believe Budget will be good for them.

And 48% believe Reeves should prioritise cutting taxes, while 43% would rather see more money for public services.

It’s all in the HuffPost UK Budget preview ⬇️

Good. Next actually deliver on planning reform and let’s get building.

[Faisal Islam @faisalislam]

NEW

Treasury effectively confirms debt rule loosening, by announcing its new “guardrails” to channel capital spending goes to a 10 year pipeline of major projects that generate economic returns that will help “depoliticise infrastructure”

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

@mocent0 Is that

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

Maybe they still do and I’ve just aged into the ‘Preparing For Death But Still Cheap’ demographic

Nike used to advertise on here.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

@teaforpterosaur Bet the blokes were devastated. Probably called it a night then and there.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

@SarahDuggers ‘potential to modernize’ I agree.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

@talktoharris1 Must he always vote against his party

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

@mocent0 Tbf I’d be reaching for the closest sunglasses too.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

Doing my civic duty by advising anyone who may want to watch this for the first time that no you don’t.

[Scott Bryan @scottygb]

On Wednesday night, the BBC will airing the nuclear apocalypse film 'Threads' for the fourth time ever.

It was aired originally in 1984, then repeated in 1985 and was last broadcast by on BBC Four in 2003.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

In the UK we used to have an MP like this, but at least Andrew Brigden received so few votes at the 2024 election that he lost his deposit.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 @mtgreenee]

Yes they can control the weather.

It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

The adult baby interview is off.

[Laura Kuenssberg @bbclaurak]

While prepping to interview Boris Johnson tomorrow,  by mistake I sent our briefing notes to him in a message meant for my team. That obviously means it’s not right for the interview to go ahead. It’s very frustrating, and there’s no point pretending it’s anything other than embarrassing and disappointing, as there are plenty of important questions to be asked. But red faces aside, honesty is the best policy. See you on Sunday.

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

This whole discourse is probably one of the most tedious things about living in the UK.

[Tom Calver @TomHCalver]

It does not mean what it used to mean

More than half of people who do professional jobs - managers, doctors, lawyers - say they are “working class”

People love talking up their origins - but a quarter of people whose *parents* did middle class jobs say they’re working class

[Rob @RobsNotTweeting]

@thetyronwilson …which replies were deemed too uncouth and abruptly hidden here?
