I'm in bits at the TV producer cutting to that wide shot thinking it was a touching moment of some young fan getting Isak's shirt and instead he's shamed *the life* out of some bloke snatching it off him. Incredible tele.

OK Rob, let me just explain something because you seem to be getting confused about this quite a lot recently. We're journalists. We're reporting - entirely legitimate - concerns about the potential cost of Burnham's plan. That's our job. You, as a politician, have a different job. Part is to criticise your political opponents. But another big part (and this is the bit you and your colleagues currently appear to be really struggling with) is to come up with actual policies to deal with the major issues impacting the country you aspire to govern. But your attitude here appears to be that whatever policy Andy Burnham proposes you will oppose it solely on the grounds it's Andy Burnham who's proposing it...

Nigel Farage says his £5m gift from a crypto billionaire is “not any of your business” as it was given unconditionally to be spent on anything from Ferraris to gambling on horses 👇

While arguing that Next can't afford to pay 16-24 year olds the minimum wage, CEO Lord Wolfson forgot to say that for the fiscal year ending January 2026, Next reported an operating profit of £1.236 billion, marking a 13.4% increase from the previous year. #r4today

It would be a shame if this video was shared far and wide.

Do you really want these charlatans running the country?!

Ruth Hansom and her husband Mark tried to do a beautiful thing, to make a wonderful restaurant in Bedale, to help people get there, to create joy. But North Yorkshire Council shat on it because they hate innovation, they hate hard work and they hate love.

EXCL: Richard Tice avoided £600K in corporation tax after acquiring legal status which experts say is rarely seen for a firm like his

Reform MP then channeled dividends to offshore trust, pension vehicle and dormant entities — many of which didn’t pay tax https://t.co/ZZnjsBoWqf

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

Do you know this man? Dangerous cyclist going at high speed down a narrow pavement as parents were taking their kids to school this morning. I shouted to him to get off his bike because of the kid directly ahead but he raced on. When a dad with his young daughter refused to move out of his way, the cyclist *deliberately* smashed into the dad, only narrowly missing the little girl. When confronted by us, the cyclist said "put it on YouTube" so he's obviously happy for you to see his face.
It's these so-called "minor" crimes that are breaking down our civil society. He knows he won't be prosecuted - despite many witnesses to his assault - if we can't identify him.
He was cycling eastward towards Finchley Road at 8.35am today. You can see what he's wearing and his bike. So if you know who he is, please DM me so I can report him to the police.

Emily Maitlis, "You are funny, let's be honest. You call David Cameron a posh boy but Boris Johnson has been to the exact same school and had the same upbringing, is absolutely fine"

Nadine Dorries, "No no no, I have to address that"

Emily Maitlis, "They're all very privileged people, but somehow you chose the one you love"

Nadine Dorries, "Noooo.. Boris Johnson had no money growing up.. He knows what hardship is like"

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "He went to Eton, what are you talking about"

Nadine Dorries, "He went on a scholarship"

Rory Stewart, "No he didn't"

They shouldn’t be going to school hungry, sat in crumbling classrooms being taught maths by their PE teacher. But you seem less bothered about that.

Victoria Derbyshire, "The Conservatives will put up people's taxes in the next parliament, won't they"

Gillian Keegan, "No"

VD, "I'm going to pause you right there. The Conservatives would put up taxes in the next parliament, that is true, is it not?"

GK, "It is not.. We have said we will reduce taxes"

VD, "I'm talking about tax take, the tax burden"

GK, "Ok, that includes everything"

VD, "So they're going up?"

GK, "Umm.. It depends...I mean literally.. We have tried to make sure we reduce the taxes for working people"

VD, "The tax take. The IFS today showed calculations that mean total taxes as a share of GDP will rise under the Conservatives plan. That is correct"

GK, "Well I'll look at those calculations"

VD, "Right now under you tax take is 36.5% of GDP, rising to 36.8% - you can acknowledge that is going up, can't you?"

GK, "I want your viewers to know the taxation system for the economy is really complex"

VD, "You wont answer it because you know it's going up"

GK, "The overall tax take is much more complicated than that"

Tony Lee, Conservative head of campaign has took a leave of absence last night. The campaign now its’ chief two weeks out and still 20+ points behind in polls. And that’s before Qs of candidates’ conduct (Sunak promised govt of integrity, professionalism & accountability)

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Taxes are not coming down. They are going up. A tax (NI) is coming down, but the amount collected in others is going up (income tax goes up because thresholds are frozen). The tax burden overall is going up. Just to be clear.

🔥 Breaking: The Conservatives’ manifesto pledge to protect per-pupil funding in real terms could lead to the biggest school budget reduction for fifty years and result in workforce cuts and school closures, @theIFS has warned

Here's a slightly longer version of the Holden interview and it's even worse!!!

It seems we are living in an alternate reality where a question about his selection is actually about Emily Thornberry and Labour's education policy (?!?!).

Car crash interview.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

This is essential viewing. The Tory party chairman is arguably the second most important campaigner for the Conservatives. Here he is supposed to be answering questions on behalf of all broadcasters. Naturally we wanted to know how he secured a safe seat for himself without giving Tory members any kind of say. Listen to his answer

[LBC @LBC]

'How much is child allowance?'
'That I'm afraid I don't know.'
'Sorry, is your title not Minister for Children?'

Minister for Children, David Johnston, admits he's not sure how much the child allowance is.

@NickFerrariLBC is astonished.
