This just makes me realise how much I’ve missed @andy_murray - and how much we will miss him. For the millionth time of watching him I’d given up all hope, only to see him - improbably - prevail. Well done Andy and Dan Evans

This is the result of the absence of a plan to grow the economy and as a consequence generate tax receipts ever since the financial crisis in 2008. In particular no thought on how to grow productivity has led to a greater fiscal crisis. Austerity did not work in isolation when

Next week Rachel Reeves will reveal an enormous funding deficit for core public services, having instructed Treasury officials to ask each department to list services that aren’t being financed adequately or are in danger of collapse or where there is some other hidden liability.

SNP amendment to scrap two-child benefit cap causes first Commons rebellion for Starmer - I still remember when former SNP MP @alisonthewliss noticed this buried in the 2015 budget, and only fair to acknowledge her campaigning on it ever since

Kamala Harris: ‘I took on perpetrators of all types … predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type."

This is epic. For those not in the know, a Leodhasach is somebody who comes from the Isle of Lewis, from which Trump's mother emigrated to America (in 1930, in times of hardship & war/emigration loss) . Harris is the adjoining island south of Lewis. The two have friendly rivarly.

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.
