I might be wrong (I often am) but I don't think the average person is screaming for tax cuts. I think most people want public services that are properly funded and actually work. And they are prepared to pay for that through their taxes.
After thumping in two by-elections Sunak says “our plan is working”.
What plan is that?
7.6m NHS waiting list
£2.7trn public debt
Higher taxes
Crumbling public buildings
Hungry children
No growth in real wages since 2007
Life expectancy down
More food banks
Potholed roads
As I said last night on @itvnews News at Ten, it’s not blindingly obvious that transporting a handful of asylum seekers to Rwanda - which is what lawyers on the left and right expect the new legislation to achieve, if it were passed - at a cost of payments to Rwanda of £290m, would be value for money or would be any kind of serious political win for the PM
Finished collating all the music from our exciting young opera composers as part of @RealOxfordOpera latest education project with @KatieBlackwelI Can't wait to see these fabulous ideas come to life #ExcitedForMonday
A favour everyone. We may not have the millionaire backers of GB news but we are doing our very best to hold this Government to account by reporting the unvarnished facts UK news shows choose to ignore.If you like our reports please help us reach more people with a RT & follow🙏
It was brilliant!! Everything about it was brilliant! One of the best pieces/productions I’ve ever seen. Bravi tutti! Opera & the Arts ‘are’ ALIVE!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥
The government has missed their Monday 4pm deadline to comply with a High Court ruling that ordered them to hand over the former prime minister's unredacted notebooks, diaries and WhatsApp messages for the COVID Inquiry trib.al/qyHNbdO
I didn’t say any of this lightly, but have been struck by how many of my former BBC colleagues - some very senior - have been in touch to express their anger and dismay at their own coverage of this
'Do you think this could be a watershed [moment] for the tabloid press?'
@jonsopel says 'there are a number of people in the tabloid press and dare I say it, in BBC news, who need to give themselves a good hard look in the mirror.'
It’s such a privilege to be a part of this special show playing the father Arthur Brittain… wonderful, warm audience… here’s to the next 5 in Buxton and 7 in Norwich!
