Not amused
Nothing says fiscal competence like weeping in Parliament and treating it like a personal highlight reel. Maybe next week she’ll drop the Autumn Statement as a limited series on Netflix: "Crying in the Commons - A Budgetary Tragedy"
'When I'm having a tough day it's on the telly': Reeves on her tears in Parliament itv.com/news/2025-07-0…
Imagine running a cafe where the customers get paid to sit at the tables, while the staff earn less for making the coffee. Then we wonder why no one wants to work the espresso machine.
This is absolutely disgusting. No wonder people do not want to work. Make it official - benefits are out of control.🤨😡🤨😡 Jobless people on sickness benefits will soon receive £2,500 more a year than a minimum wage worker, new figures have revealed. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
There was a lot of unprofessional behaviour - creating an atmosphere more suited to a schoolyard than a legislature. It’s a stark reminder that many of those elected to represent us still struggle with the basic standards of respect
Whether you like him or lot, Nigel Farage should be able to speak without the heckling. This made parliament look shameful and juvenile. The Speaker failed to do his duty, again. #PMQs
I read their survey questions - hidden in PR footnote behind a unreadable spreadsheet. You know the classic loaded question - “Have you stopped beating your wife?” Well, Patriotic Millionaires have taken that... dressed it in a velvet tux, added a halo, and now call it “data.”
Hello @RachelReevesMP, we wanted to make sure you see some important % and ££s: 🇬🇧 80% of UK millionaires support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m 🇬🇧 81% think it’s patriotic to pay their fair share We’re proud to pay and here to stay #taxthesuperrich #taxwealthnotwork
Three years in the naughty corner Next offence - they might even raise an eyebrow
Just want to make sure I’ve got this right. A UK charity set up to “clear misconceptions on the religion of Islam”, was filmed delivering a sermon 6 days after Islamists murdered and raped 1200 Jews, which called for Muslims to kill Jews. And after a 20-month investigation,…
pay your fair share: "Hey, me and the other crabs were talking and we noticed that you were getting a bit ambitious climbing out of the bucket. Thats not on, because we are still stuck in the bucket So, if you don't mind... if its not too much trouble... get back in the bucket"
Labour’s economic plan: squeeze the golden goose until it files for non-dom status
Labour about to learn the hard way about the Laffer Curve. Raising tax rates now will reduce tax take.
Because if you’re going to lose the dressing room, might as well do it with a cringe-worthy catchphrase Tough? More like trying way too hard to convince the mirror.
OMG 🤣 🔊Listen to Keir Starmer describing himself as a HARD B*STARD in an interview with the BBC He's actually pathetic beyond belief
"I didn’t notice"....called out like a kid caught with chocolate on his face That’s not clueless, that’s Olympic-level selective blindness. Maybe the PM’s talents lie elsewhere - like perfecting the art of looking busy while doing nothing.
“How can it be unnoticed? He was sitting beside her for half an hour.” Andrew Neil snaps back at Starmer's former chief of staff Sam White who suggests the PM didn't notice "the level of distress" Reeves was in during PMQs. #TimesRadio | @afneil
"Personal reasons" - the political version of hitting snooze on accountability. Fancy way of saying "Don’t ask questions, we’re all just winging it." Better keep the tissues close - this drama’s far from over.
‘It’s all getting a bit much now’. @NatashaC reveals why the ‘personal reason’ explanation for Rachel Reeves’ tears at PMQs has started to wear thin.
Ah yes, P&O Ferries - where the business model is "sink the ship, fire the crew, and reward the captain. £91 million down the drain, hundreds sacked, and the CEO gets a pay bump. Must be nice running a company where incompetence comes with a bonus.
New: P&O Ferries’ long-overdue accounts have finally been filed. They reveal the chief executive’s pay soared in 2023. In the same year the company lost £91 million, despite having fired 786 staff to cut costs. Full story 👇 itv.com/news/2025-07-0…
Sir Keir, ever the master of stating the obvious with the charisma of a damp tea towel. Meanwhile, Reeves is wheeled out like a comfort blanket for nervous markets, and we're all meant to pretend this is leadership.
'Is Reeves here simply to calm the markets?' @BeccaBarry asks the PM 'No, she's here because she's the chancellor', Starmer says Reeves made a surprise appearance alongside the PM after getting emotional in the Commons on Wednesday
