Clearly heeding the cries of a frustrated public, the president is in the Brady Briefing Room with UFC’s Dana White talking about how Pete Rose deserves a pardon.

Freedom of Movement is NOT an unconditional right under EU law: it is conditional on finding a job or being self-sufficient i.e. not being a burden on taxpayers. Otherwise there is no right to stay.

Iran is executing athletes. Several more are now on death row. Please, please retweet as the only thing that has shown any potential to deter the regime is international scrutiny and pressure theguardian.com/global-devel…

This week I've written our US cover story on Latino and Asian-American voters, who are crucial swing voters in Tuesday's mid-terms. In 2024, they made up 14% of voters but 24% of vote-switchers. Now it seems they've soured on Trump and Republicans: economist.com/united-states/…

Simon Heffer’s review of Liz Truss’s new book Bank Job in the Telegraph.
‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged. If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really don’t like, give them a copy.’

Goodwin makes several misleading claims
- Italy asylum processing in Albania: if granted refugee status would be transferred to Italy. (Reform say they are abolishing asylum: this isn't their plan)
- Denmark passed a 2021 law. It has no partners yet.
- Germany has no scheme

🚨🚨 In deleted tweets, Trump's new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia shared vaccine conspiracy theories, called for upending constitutional norms, and encouraged the president to run for a third term in office.

Declaring war on welfare while splashing billions on a wealthfare privileged elite is immoral.

Not sure Kemi's inheritance tax proposal has been fully thought through. As it stands, it's a massive incentive to buy expensive homes and disincentive to invest in other assets telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

People with £1m+ family homes gain most from Tory inheritance tax plans.
Savills estimate that 673,143 homes in GB were worth £1 million or more in 2025. That's the top 2-3% of homes in the country.
London and the South East together account for nearly 3/4 of the total.
Dan Johnson retweeted
Given that couples can already use the £1m threshold to shield their home, the Tory change really benefits people whose homes (and assets are worth) over £1m.

Well that was certainly a barnstorming speech so far as the audience in the hall was concerned. BUT there was a glaring clash with the more thoughtful essay @KemiBadenoch published at the weekend in which she rightly said parties should not spray out promises without being clear about the assessments made, the trade offs required and the consequences analysed. Sadly she didn’t do any of that in the speech. “Something for everyone” only happens in La La land. Nor did she adequately deal with the “you’ve had fourteen years” problem she rightly identified in her booklet.
Her position as leader is rock solid. Farage will have felt a bit of heat from it. And there is a proper big argument between the main parties. But the Tories will have to do a lot more work on serious policy and serious atonement! As I said on @RestIsPolitics today though, she certainly has confidence!!
