For what it is worth, I think an earlier election is on. I can’t tell you why I now think that. This is not 100% certain but close enough for me to mention to you

Been at the Met Police briefing on Grenfell investigation: - Charging files will not go to prosecutors until 2026 - Decision on charges not until end of 2026 - Trials will not start for at least six months after that Will be over a decade after fire before anyone is in court

Ministers have been told to attend cabinet at 4pm on pain of death. They have not been told what they will be discussing 🤣 Today is the final day the election could be called for June 27. Given that Sunak has said it will be in the second half of the year, July is more likely

Budget day was a big day in Westminster, with middle earners winning from the tax cuts, while others (notably lower earners and pensioners) lost out. But – as @TorstenBell explains – overall not much has changed for Britain, a country where taxes are going up, not down.

Happy new housing minister day! Comes round faster every month.
PROFILE of the new housing minister: ::Inset name here:: is a little-known backbencher with no previous interest in the sector, who has frequently campaigned against green belt developments in their constituency. (Just getting it ready)
