I’m sure the Sunday morning politics shows will be all over this in the morning when they interview the chief secretary to the Treasury… @SkyNews @BBCNews @bbclaurak
With warning’s Trump tariffs could halve UK growth & push up prices @EdwardJDavey asked @Keir_Starmer at #PMQs if he “recognized it’s more urgent than ever to get rid of the damaging trade barriers with Europe put in place by the Conservatives?” Sit down for the PM’s reply

“Over the longer term the OBR say that economic growth will be boosted by 1.4%. That’s really positive” says the Chancellor Why are UK news shows ignoring the OBR also say Brexit will reduce the UK’s potential GDP by 4% in the long run by lowering the trade intensity of the economy? Isn’t that rather important?
This is now ridiculous. UK news shows have been repeatedly citing the OBR’s figures on growth but no one has pointed out to viewers the same report lays bare the Catastrophic cost of Brexit! We face poor growth & a record tax burden. If you think UK news shows need to step up RT

Whilst Chancellor Rachel Reeves turns to a forecast by Office for Budget Responsibility which predicts real GDP growth over the next 5 years she fails to point out the same report also says this “Weak growth in imports and exports over the medium term partly reflect the continuing impact of Brexit, which we expect to reduce the overall trade intensity of the UK economy by 15% in the long term" I think that’s important. RT if you do to

I won’t be “moving on” until the Government is willing to have an honest & open discussion about the disastrous impact of Brexit on the UK economy RT if you won’t either @reid6peter @CAA_Official @RealGaryWebster @reece_dinsdale @GreenJennyJones @E_L_James @carolvorders
“I think people have moved on..there's no appetite to litigate those arguments... lower growth is a fact of life we have to deal with..." says @wesstreeting I won’t be “moving on” until the Government is willing to have an honest discussion about the disastrous impact of Brexit

The Tories are lost because every part of their ideology has failed. Commentary on the leadership race has focused on the candidates, but their fundamental problem is that their entire worldview has collapsed By me, for Bloomberg - £ but screengrabs: 🧵 bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

PHP Q: I have a class C, which uses a trait T, which defines method M. I have an object, and I want to know if it defines method M before I call it. method_exists() returns false, is_callable() can't be used as __call() gives a false positive. How do I approach this?

I’ve tried to be fair but if we now face tax hikes & cuts to public services to fill a £20bn black hole in the public finances we must have an honest discussion about the negative impact of Brexit & the role it has played in creating it If you agree RT this widely
I applaud the Prime Minister for calling for honesty in politics but if we now face tax hikes & cuts to public services to fill a £20bn black hole in the public finances we must have an honest discussion about the negative impact of Brexit & the role it has played in creating it

It tells you everything you need to know about British politics and media that the only person to have ever had to apologise for Nigel Farage's long history of inflammatory and racist comments, is a journalist who accurately reported them as such
BBC newsreader Geeta Guru-Murthy apologises on-air after accusing Nigel Farage of ‘customary inflammatory language’ during his speech at a Reform UK press conference in Dover today

“You can trust me” says Rishi Sunak deliberately avoiding Brexit in his list of things battering the UK economy - right in the middle of a news & data deluge on how Brexit is battering UK economy Not a single journalist challenged him - I think they should have. RT if you agree
At Mondays press conference Rishi Sunak told the public “You can trust me” He then deliberately omitted Brexit from his list of things battering the UK economy - it was rank dishonesty & every journalist present allowed him to get away with it IT THAT OUTRAGES YOU RT THIS
