You have to feel for the Chancellor. Genuinely good GDP figs today but before Iran kicked off. What could have been.

Hate to say it but right now Labour has to have some of the worst comms of any party in the western world.
🗣️ Back Labour even "if you do it holding your nose".
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar delivers a speech in Scotland, ahead of the May elections for Holyrood, pitching that the SNP are bad, and Labour are the least worst alternative.

Deport. Deport. Deport.
We don’t want sexual offenders and violent criminals here.
Why I genuinely believe Cameron is one of our worst PMs in history. Austerity set us back 20 years

Keir Starmer has tonight told his MPs: “The Conservatives are not our principal opponent. Reform are our main rivals for power. We have a moral responsibility to make sure Farage never wins.”
And PM takes off gloves: “We have to be clear that every opportunity he has had in this Parliament to back working people he’s voted against. Telling the workers at Jaguar Land Rover they deserve to go bust. A state-slashing, NHS-privatising, Putin apologist. Without a single patriotic bone in his body. We will take to fight to him. We will fight as Labour.”
Anyone who’s ever doorknocked could’ve predicted this. Nothing he said is remotely controversial outside the Twitter/media bubble

I say Labour is banning landlords in England from this kind of disgraceful behaviour. You know who voted to allow it? Reform MPs - who consistently vote against renters rights (and against workers rights while we’re at it)

Well well well….
New - Indian officials say Badenoch talking "rubbish" over "two tier tax" attack on UK/India FTA. Say she agreed principle of exempting Indian workers from NICs when she was trade sec. Team Badenoch: "The Indians put it on the table and Kemi said No."

In 2018, the Prime Minister opposed a third runway at Heathrow.
Now, in the middle of a climate emergency, his government is backing it.
A complete U-turn at the expense of local communities and the planet.
Reckless, short-sighted and indefensible.

t wasn't mentioned in the Chancellor's speech, but the Spring Statement papers contain a major suite of anti-tax avoidance proposals, probably the toughest ever introduced.
