Streeting accuses trusts and ICBs of seeking to cut deficits too sharply

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.

Banks step up lobbying over threat of Reeves tax hikes The gap between the tax burden on British banks and their international rivals is widening, even before the imposition of any further levies in next month's budget, according to a report seen by Sky N...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rachel Reeves’ spring statement shows we’re in an economic crisis, and she’s out of her depth.
Rachel Reeves’ spring statement shows we’re in an economic crisis, and she’s out of her depth. YouTube video by Richard J Murphy

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.

Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement either doesn’t add up, or it reveals a deeply dangerous economic policy, and it may do both.
