Suella Braverman has refused to accept the findings of a report by cross-party MPs that found internal failings rather than a rise in migrants crossing the Channel are to blame for the breakdown of the asylum system.

33mm of rain in 3 hours this morning on South Uist, unprecedented flooding on an island that knows climate change is real - get ye to Cop27 @RishiSunak .

I try to be fair, but I do just think it is professionally dubious to write a glowing column about the PM in the Comment pages of the Times without mentioning he’s your best friend and was best man at your wedding.

Govt handed £895bn to speculators via its QE program.
In Oct, handed another £65bn, bought govt bonds
Vast power/profits for speculators
Govt now selling bonds at loss of £11.175 bn, could rise to £20bn.
Magic money tree for the City, austerity for us.

I gave Suella Braverman her job back after seeing this interview and being reminded of her razor sharp intellect and ability to remain cool and effective under pressure.

This is a great thing to do. At the same time it is deeply depressing, and a mark of where we are, that it's considered necessary.
If you need a helping hand this half term, from 26th October you can simply ‘ask for Henry’ at your nearest @Morrisons café, and you will be given a free Heinz Beanz meal.
1 meal per person per day, old or young, no questions asked, until stocks last.

Picking our Pockets.
Shell doubles third quarter profits to $9.5bn (£8.2bn).
Hands £3.4bn to shareholders in share buybacks, increases dividends.
People get higher energy bills, inflation, poverty and cost of living crisis.
Need 100 % windfall tax.

NEW: Around 65% of the cabinet are privately educated. This is more than double that of Theresa May’s 2016 Cabinet (30%), and more than David Cameron’s 2015 Cabinet (50%). Just 7% of Brits are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society.

Appointing Suella Braverman as Home secretary just days after she was sacked for a security breach doesn’t smack of integrity, competence, professionalism or sensible politics. It’s just cynical manoeuvring. This PM’s no better than the last two.

Billionaire banker and former president of the Oxford University Conservative association, Guy Hands, tells #r4today that the Conservative Party and Brexit is turning Britain into the "sick man of Europe" with a "doomed" economy that will eventually need bailing out by the IMF.

Rishi Sunak is the new UK prime minister as Penny Mordaunt can't get 100 backers
Tories will inflict severe austerity, cut wages, cut public services.
No economy can grow with depleted purchasing power of the people. Wealth will gush upwards.
Social unrest will grow.

Right now, this is/should be the biggest story in Europe.
The price of natural gas is falling very fast again, thanks to growing stockpiles & expectations of warmer weather.
If this sustains, then electricity prices & inflation should fall quickly too 🥳🥳

Whatever side you're on, whatever your ethnicity, this is truly a historic moment.
The UK has its first Goldman Sachs Prime Minister.
