OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Streeting accuses trusts and ICBs of seeking to cut deficits too sharply
Reading in the HSJ this morning that “Streeting accuses trusts and ICBs of seeking to cut deficits too sharply” is probably the closest I’ve come an apoplectic stroke in my life.
Farage, who had previously said mass deportations were a "political impossibility", said his party had now come up with "a credible plan, so that we can deport hundreds of thousands of people over the five years of a Reform government". During the news conference, Farage asked Reform UK chair Zia Yusuf whether it was realistic to deport 500,000-600,000 people within the lifetime of the first Parliament under a Reform UK government, to which he replied "totally, yeah".
A sobering thought: were Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister then the terrifying scenes from Minneapolis would become terrifying scenes here.
Facts don’t care about MAGA fairytales.
Job growth is consistently stronger under Democrats. Under Trump, it’s a mess. Both times.
@jamieklingler.bsky.social Excellent to see you on #Skynews #Skypapers
UK banks oppose tax rise.
Falsely claim to be paying 46.4% tax rate.
The PwC generated number includes PAYE, employee national insurance which is paid by workers. VAT which is borne by customers.
it is extrapolated from a sample, can't be verified
Why do media reports not expose this sham claim?
All of this is being put out to placate the right wing press...
In the meantime, it's causing fear & confusion. As I understand it:
● this only applies to some people on skilled visas
● it's not "A level English" it's something called SELT
● much the same requirement exists elsewhere in EU
As it was obvious they would. A huge waste of parents' money by lawyers who saw an easy payday.
I remember when Donald Trump said Biden was going to get into a war with Iran.

Rachel Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com has been so wonderful about posting and getting the word out on all of these protests. This is a great video and will get you pumped up for today. Stay safe and make your voice heard! #NoKings
@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."
Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.
Not too many Black folks will be surprised that the very first civilian Trump’s Marines detained in Los Angeles was a Black man.
A veteran.
If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.
Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

It is very very funny that one of the few genuine ways we have diverged from EU law since Brexit is VAT on private schools.
Karmic punishment for Telegraph readers.
Time to end the practice of handing out honours to mates.
Better yet, time to end the practice of handing out honours.
Because ridiculously rich people are used to getting mostly what they want without having to accept responsibility. They simply can't understand why entire countries can't do the same, and so are the last people who should inform policy.
Stanley Johnson criticises Labour for not being closer to the EU
Then Stanley Johnson says the UK needs to get as close to the EU without going back into the EU Single Market
Father like son, both want their cake and to eat it, while the country is poorer because we aren't in the EU Single Market
Sorry. Nobody censors my posts. Now fuck off

Courts willing to follow the Constitution and the law are the only things standing between us and Stephen Miller’s dystopia right now. And he isn’t happy about it.
What was important about the Spring Statement from Rachel Reeves was what it did not say - like mortgage rates are going to rise by at least one percent, alongside house prices. We really are in a mess.
