There are 12.5 million pensioners in the UK. 40,000 people pay inheritance tax a year. Sunak wants to deny an inflation matching pension increase to the 12.5 million so the children of 40,000 people can benefit from a tax cut. If you can work out the justice in that, I can’t.

Private health firms donated £800,000 to Conservatives

Where there is £ donated decisions are influenced

Years ago Drs were prevented from receiving gifts (pens, post-it pads, etc) from Pharmaceutical companies for ‘fear’ of influence

@StokeyUpdates I ignore it, though I'm happy enough for it to be there. It's when chains like that ignore an area that you know things are bad. (And when are we going to get a Lidl?)

Eustice: "Overall the truth of the matter is that the UK gave away far too much for far too little in return."

Says best bits were negotiated by DEFRA and worst bits by Dept for Trade, at the time headed by Liz Truss.

Says if we don't recognise mistakes they'll be repeated.

Fmr Environment Sec George Eustice has spoken about the post-Brexit UK/Australia trade deal in the Commons. He says now no longer a minister: "I no longer have to put such a positive gloss on what was agreed...the Australia deal is not actually a very good trade deal for the UK."

The Home Secretary arriving by military helicopter in war-torn <checks notes> Kent.

67 miles from London. Takes 1h11m to get there by train, at a cost of £11.30.

Thanks in part to cranks like Claire Fox & Julia Hartley-Brewer, the Great British public’s average estimate is that 65% of climate scientists have concluded human-caused #climatechange is happening – far lower than the reality of *99.9%*.

How embarrassing Liz Truss mistakenly read out the leaving speech for if she’d successfully served an entire term as Prime Minister, rather than the one where she was forced to resign after six weeks for being a disaster.

[Peter Daniels @chintz35]

Partying is what a prime minister does, right?

Objectively dreadful. But I am kind of impressed that she gave a straight answer.

Come on, @BBCRadio3 - you can do better than giving us half of Auden's "As I walked out". This isn't like a single movement of a symphony, it's like half an Agatha Christie. And a recording of Auden himself is surely available.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

This is extraordinary. Just extraordinary.

Okay @BBCRadio3 - you do know, don't you, that the sound is skipping on your lunchtime prom broadcast? And it isn't my radio, all the radios in the house are doing it. Where's your technician?

I see we truly have cleared out Boris Johnson's era by following it up with two of his most fierce loyalists. Both let Pincher waltz into his job, both defended Johnson on Partygate, both have overseen all the services currently crumbling. Bravo Tory MPs you've played a blinder
