My new podcast Therapy For Me is up and running...let me know what you think?

@Parisblade So agree. Thought he was MOTM on Wednesday.

@Adrian_0liver I’m in…certainly until the sun comes up.

NEW: As revealed on @itvnews at 10, @PaulBrandITV confirms this interview was filmed this afternoon. Rishi Sunak flew back to London from D-Day commemorations early, missing the main event with world leaders. The Conservatives suggested today as the day to do the interview.

Every. Single. Word.

[Sophy Ridge @SophyRidgeSky]

Can I be honest with you? I didn’t want to start the programme talking about the Conservative claim that a Labour Government would cost you £2,000 in extra taxes.

It’s obviously been disputed. Not just because it’s cumulative rather than annual – but because it’s based on an awful lot of assumptions, with some of the conclusions even being disowned by the authors who did the research.

But look – I’m being sucked down the rabbit hole now too.

There are two reasons I don’t want to talk about the £2,000 claim.

The first is because the Conservatives WANT us to talk about it – because even if we’re discussing the fact the number is being disputed, we’re still talking about Labour putting up tax.

But the second reason is even more important.
The parties are both arguing about whether each others sums add up.
Well… they don’t, do they?

Both of them are promising they won’t raise income tax, national insurance, or VAT – three fifths of the total tax revenue. Nobody wants to borrow other than to invest. Health, schools and defence are all ring fenced from spending cuts in some form.

I genuinely don’t understand how this all adds up. Not even close.
Public spending projections after the next election have been described as a “fantasy” by economists – the tax burden is set to hit a historic high - and we’re spending more on debt interest payments than education.

Forget about the quibbling over a few numbers here and there. Because it doesn’t seem to me like ANY party is being honest about just how difficult it will be after the election… and the kind of choices that the next Government will have to make – no matter who it turns out to be.

Ben Elton speaks for me. Utter bollox from Sunak that ignores everything that has brought us to this point… now ‘hold your nerve’ #Sunakered

Thoroughly enjoying listening to @SportGids1 doing his best TMS-esque bants at Headingley this morning…

[Anthony Short @antshort]

Theresa May making the most important contribution to this debate so far. Every word.

@DFletcherSport @5liveSport surely it’s got to be John Lundstram hasn’t it?

[Anthony Short @antshort]

@Adrian_0liver Class. Pure class.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Holy shit. A Christian Conservative who voted Republican her entire life just called on all women to vote for DEMOCRATS.
