Here’s what the Independent Inquiry said:
In what I think was the worst, most tone deaf statement I've ever heard from Keir Starmer, the PM seemed to think the main issue isn't the sexual abuse of minors but the honour of Jess Phillips. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

It was the first interview Starmer gave after quitting as DPP. Tories refused to implement recommendation of the child abuse inquiry that Mandatory Reporting essential - both to deal with child rape scandals like Rotherham and with the Saviles of this world
At about 3’10” Starmer says he called for Mandatory Reporting of child sex abuse…that was on @BBCPanorama - @MeirionTweets produced & I presented- November 2013

To the Metropolitan Police, I’d like to report a hate crime committed by Laurence Fox.
“You are not welcome in my country” is a racist trope. I am British. @metpoliceuk @MetCC

Listening to @jonstewart is more worthwhile than listening to any political pundit in America (including me!)

People - including top US journalists, perhaps especially top US journalists - don’t quite get how bad it’s going to be. How beyond term one it’ll be. How bad the Musks and RFKs will be.
I don’t think even I fully accept how bad it’s going to be and I have been shouting how bad it’s going to be for years.

Richard Hughes(OBR): "There was about £9.5b worth of net pressure on department budgets, which they(Tories) did not disclose to us as part of our usual budget preparation... which under the law & under the act they should have done.."

director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies @PJTheEconomist tells Times Radio:
"I’m afraid I have absolutely no sympathy with their arguments on inheritance tax and the impact on family farms and agriculture. This is special pleading by some extremely wealthy people. Very few farmers will be affected by this, for example....
there's no other country in Europe or hardly any others that completely exempt business assets and agricultural assets from inheritance tax. We never used to, didn't destroy family farms. I'm disappointed actually to see such special pleading given such prominence"

Must have run out of space before they could mention Dyson bought 36k acres of farmland to avoid inheritance tax.

Sunak rightly condemned being labelled a “P*ki”. That he didn’t use his time as PM to condemn other instances of racism, against other minorities, who don’t have his privileges, for politically expedient reasons, is one of his biggest failings in office.

Terrific reporting by @C4Dispatches and the Sunday Times on the sources of the immense wealth Charles and William trouser. I wouldn’t change a word of what I wrote in fortnight ago
“I’m trying to think of any possible justification for paying William, a 42-year old public servant, more than £23m and of course there is none. If you question it, the whole edifice crumbles” My column prospectmagazine.co.uk/world…
