@WhatsOnStage Decent public transport outside London. I’d love to go more often but although I can get there I can’t get back. I’m near - but not a cheap taxi fare near - good theatres in Bristol, Bath and Cheltenham. Not a prayer of me going without an overnight stay.

@jonlis1 The best kind!

@ThatTimWalker Terrifying. And I don’t live there. No words for the disenfranchised American citizens for whom this is a seemingly ever-more likely reality.

@MsAshleyDavies I cannot unsee that. Genius observation!

@journalism_news @tedbyoung Congratulations!! Fantastic news for journalism.

You didn’t do it as Chancellor @RishiSunak. Now you’re Prime Minister and it’s more important than ever: Tax. The. Ultra. Rich. We can afford it (so can you!) and we want you to do it. Time for the rich to pay fair; our country cannot afford any cuts.

@LordAshcroft @theousherwood @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @PennyMordaunt Anyone commenting that Rishi won’t win the next election for the Tories is missing the point. No candidate will win the next election for the Tories. That is already lost. What is needed now is governing in the national interest. That has to be Rishi. He’s the only grown up left.

@RhonddaBryant Just wondering but did the announcement that Boris is bidding to make a return have any effect on the pound?

[emily m @maitlis]

Worth considering this could be exactly the end game Boris Johnson had in mind when he endorsed a weak candidate he could see would quickly and irredeemably fail.
Whilst it may look like a shambles from the outside, it might just have been playbook politics…

I mean, it’s not great if inflation is outpolling the prime minister

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

I'm not saying UK economic policy is unstable, but the mini-Budget saw the biggest tax cuts since 1972 and today saw the biggest tax increases since 1993

The most British headline of all-time.

@EmmaKennedy I tried it for a week. And vowed never again. But if Mr Anderson wants to join me, I might change my mind. Think the experience would change his mind https://t.co/RvBzpvjd4i

[Liz Burcher @lizburcher]

@PutneyFleur My one week trial. I’d have said never again. But I’ll give it another shot if Mr Anderson would like to do it with me….https://t.co/RvBzpvjd4i

The richest 5% stand to gain ��3,500 on average next year from the tax cuts announced in the Fiscal Statement, despite the scrapping of the abolition of the 45p tax rate – almost 40x as much as the average £90 cash gain for the poorest 5th of households: https://t.co/KbfAmc2YxX

Tory former ministers are set to be handed more than £410,000 in redundancy payments - even though some of them were only in their jobs for a matter of weeks
