Rachel Reeves spent the weeks after the Winter Budget pretending it had been a success – other than the OBR car crash – and she hadn’t directly contradicted herself over the income tax threshold freeze. Nobody bought it, she continued peddling nonsense about a phantom black hole, and pub landlords across the country banned Labour MPs in response to absurd hikes to business rates. Miliband watched all this from the shadows, with cabinet ministers suspecting he’s on manoeuvres…
Nigel Farage took aim at the BBC, demanding the broadcaster apologised for its ‘appalling’ comments over historic racism allegations and threatening a total boycott in the meantime. No apology came, although the media’s coverage of the allegations did nothing to dent Reform’s lead in the polls. Who’d have guessed?

Junior doctors went on strike, despite Labour’s claims they’d ‘get around the table’ and end these disputes as if by magic during the election campaign. Wes Streeting – who is supposed to be the Health Secretary when he’s not plotting his own leadership bid – said he was furious. The BBC ran an ‘on the ground’ strike report which conveniently forgot to mention every junior doctor featured within it was a BMA union official…
Calamity Lammy’s decision to scrap jury trials went down like a cup of cold sick, not least with his own ministers who had previously claimed such a policy was a “terrible idea” that “wouldn’t work“. Guido also revealed Lammy had found time to host a “Black Career Journeys” civil service talk on the day he claimed to be “outraged and appalled” at the accidental prison release of a second migrant. And during working hours obviously…
