Spectacular miss by the Spectator in the opening question? Because a large number are illegal, thats how. 2 questions: A) how did the ONS find the 300k, B) how can we be sure that the revised figure itself is accurate (answer, we can't). Gov have a major problem, that's true.

If there is a budgetary #blackhole and it is a big if, shouldn't the #OBR have spotted it? Isn't that why they exist?

Staggering if true. Imagine the fuss that's made when one of the little people seek to shift £10k between accounts or worse, pay a third party that sum.

#Gold tops $2,700 for the first time to extend its record-breaking run. It is now up 31% YTD and on course for its best year since 1979.

How would it be powered? And what’s the cost of running it? Miliband’s out of control.

Labour also benefitted from significant funding before the GE in sum of £4m posted at a convenient time by a Cayman Island source with unusual revenue streams. Am sure the people @ElectoralCommUK may have questions to be answered about this too. aoav.org.uk/2024/labour-fa…

Re Early prisoner release… it is possible to see that this is absolutely true… all these people released in a rush, impossible for the agencies of state to keep up. Why are most things implemented within the Public Sector doomed to be a complete mess? news.sky.com/story/prisoner…

The route to health passports and a myriad of other restrictions via the back door. CBDCs anyone?

“Irregular” immigration seems to be the new buzz-word.

#Eng football team abysmal in first three games of #EURo2024 . Issues could be seen in warmup games v Bosnia/ Iceland but too late to address now in the k/o phase. Southgate has no idea how to get best out of these players & is stuck in his own stubbornness. Will not end well.

Someone tell me about the reliability of OBR (or Treasury or BoE) forecasting. Am not sure they have a great track record.

For the moment an interesting tactical game @SkyCricket @KP24 @Athersmike but am unsure whether I’ll still be thinking that at teatime. Also interested in what you think of Bairstow’s keeping? Seems a bit sloppy, 5 byes and a dropped catch before lunch?

You voted for Brexit - the establishment blocked it. You voted for @BorisJohnson - the establishment has forced him out. Who is in charge here… The voters or the blob? #Blobonomics #BorisJohnson
