Days like today really reveal lobby reporting at its worst.
"Hearing the Home Secretary might resign or she might not" should have stayed in your drafts.

So triple-locked pensions and benefits rise with inflation -- but not tax thresholds or student loan repayment levels? That seems weird to me, totally unequal fiscal drag on working people vs recipients of state spending.

It’s only that you got angry at something that isn’t happening, that’s all (I’m the writer) It’s not an elite “woke-ing” up of Robin Hood’s story. It’s the 2nd series of a political-crime drama set in the majority working-class part of the red wall I’m from. So we can all breathe

anarcho-capitalist narcissist with fascist leanings? Some journey you’ve been on.

I investigate social media at the BBC. I've repeatedly asked you for an interview. You accuse the media of not holding power to account. I want to ask you questions about your site and its role fanning the flames of UK riots. Will you speak to me?@elonmusk bbc.com/news/articles/cd1e8d…

What to expect if you’re a new MP elected this Friday?
I spoke to politicians from different intakes about how inductions have changed for those joining parliament.
From how the scramble for offices really works, to learning how to dress and speak in the chamber.

Some would-be MPs say WhatsApp groups with other candidates mean they’ve already formed strong bonds with future colleagues… and decided who to avoid!
Plus - why veteran MPs being nice to you might have an ulterior motive 👀
