If you want to know how bad this is, watch the face of @alancampbellmp to his left. Alan is a decent man and has been around politics a little while - he knows how bad this is.

The budget clarified what this Government stands for - tax & spend.
That approach is their prerogative given their majority & mandate, but it’s now up to us to present a credible alternative that prioritises business & goes for growth, whilst funding sustainable public services.
We've replaced the rope-lights outlining The Rose's archaeological remains, currently preserved underwater.

Eight weeks of glorious music-making. 86 concerts. Over 3,000 musicians on-stage. The cream of the international crop, alongside the best of the BBC. I am thrilled finally to be able to share our plans for the @bbcproms 2025 🥳 🎶 🧵
🎉 Happy 461st Birthday, Will! 🎉
In celebration of Shakespeare’s 461st birthday today, we cut a cake for the famous playwright and poet right outside his childhood home. 🎂
How are you celebrating Shakespeare today? 🎈
This is great; but hearing Petroc’s tones in the evening is going to take some getting used to. My body clock is confused as I am so used to hearing it as I get ready for the day ahead!
This morning, @PetrocTrelawny hosted Radio 3 Breakfast for the final time – he will be moving to In Tune from next week.
Petroc has a this little message for new Breakfast presenter @tom_mckinney.
In 18 months Brum has gone from record investment to rubbish & rats. But we’re only down, not out.
When the strikes end we’ll all need to come together to repair our city’s reputation once again, and now is the time to think what part we're all going to play in that fightback.
The policies just announced are batshit crazy. They will cause a recession. And, when they do, the people who backed them will blame foreigners or globalists or some such, and double down.
It’s #WorldPianoDay! 🎹

An excellent statement on Ukraine by Sir Kier Starmer. He is to be congratulated on hosting this event and getting the tone and action points just right. @Keir_Starmer@10DowningStreet
That was the wilful incineration of America's reputation as a partner. They were always going to be transactional, and Zelenskyy got sucked in, but the animus on display was striking. I can imagine Trump wants Zelenskyy to make concessions and return as an apologetic supplicant.
Today while we celebrate Ukraine’s bravery we should reflect that it is also the 3rd Anniversary that Putin sent hundreds of thousands of his own countrymen to their deaths for no reason other than his own ego.
