It’s ironic that the man who resigned as Defence Secretary under Keir Starmer due to underfunding our military is now Chancellor and has taken £2 billion from our defence budget. How things change when your the one that could be getting the back handers

BREAKING: after Healey’s Budget today, MoD spending will be £1bn per year lower than in the Defence Investment Plan he resigned over👇
Big row potentially brewing on defence… Tories alleging that Healey - the man of principle who quit over DIP - might actually be *cutting* defence spending In the next two financial years, the budget for the MOD will be £1bn a year less than Rachel Reeves planned when the DIP was published in June. The total departmental spending can be calculated from the Budget Red Book pages 145-147. When compared to the DIP settlement, the Tories claim it shows that Labour are cutting £1bn a year from the MOD budget for the next two years. Why? It appears that they are forecast to spend less than expected on pensions. Rather than the MOD being allowed to reuse this Resource Department Expenditure Limit, the Treasury has kept it Cartlidge: “This is a complete dereliction of duty from the Chancellor”

Hey this is one to watch. A massive row is breaking out over defence. The Tories accuse Healey of quietly cutting the military budget by £1bn a year for the next two years. Red Book figures show the Treasury clawed back cash when military pension costs came in lower than expected, rather than letting the armed forces reinvest it. James Cartlidge calls it a “complete dereliction of duty.” It is a terrible look for a Chancellor who once resigned over defence shortfalls 👀

Shame on @JohnHealey_MP and @andyburnham but it didn’t stop @KemiBadenoch serving them a new ar*e at PMQ’s!
Budget. It’s protocol for the government to send the leader of the opposition a copy of the budget during the morning. Badenoch just thanked Healey for advanced sight of the speech but pointed out it was heavily redacted. Obviously intentional to make it as difficult as possible for her to reply. Poor show.

NEW On the basis of the numbers the Chancellor just read out in the House, the UK is set to borrow MORE in each of the next five years than previously planned

Hillarious @KemiBadenoch asking this poor excuse for a minister @LucyMPowell if she can count?
It’s been an honour to serve as your Deputy Leader for the past year. I promised to take back the political megaphone and set out a clear message about what we stand for and whose side we are on. That’s exactly what we’re doing: being boldly, confidently, authentically Labour. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/l…

William's Duchy of Cornwall is issuing eviction notices to nine tenant farmers in Devon generations on the land, given six months to buy or leave. Meanwhile, Kate's doing nature visits and Gates meetings. Soft PR to bury the real story. 👑

How would you rate Andy Burnham's first 100 days as PM? Caller Debbie explains why on a scale from 1 to 10, she gives him a 0.

KATE, PRINCESS OF WALES, failed to attend the memorial for the 144 who died when about 100,000 tons of black slurry avalanched down the mountainside at high speed engulfing Pantglas Junior School just as morning lessons had begun. Since that figure included 116 precious little children, mostly aged 7 to 10, the age of Prince Louis of Wales, Kate’s longstanding claim to be concerned about children’s welfare is called into bleak question. Two reasons have been given as to why Kate failed to attend. Firstly called ‘strategic’: that all the focus would be on her drawing attention away from the main reason for the memorial. Well, no Kate, this is arrogant vanity in what was one of the darkest tragedies in modern Welsh history and people were much more concerned to focus their minds on the precious little lives lost than which designer outfit you chose. Secondly, there was concern (yet again, ye gods!) to protect your immune system from what would be chilly weather as you recover from a cancer long past concern. Yet it appears this was not a worry when you are supposed to have recently climbed three mountain peaks threatened by icy conditions. Or perhaps popping off to world-renowned luxury alpine resort Courcheval for a few days skiing every now and then? No. You are a fraud Kate. PRINCESS OF FAILS seems more appropriate and your choices might well cause some Welsh people to ponder how they are valued as a sovereign state of the United Kingdom,

Meghan Markle's father is alleged to be a child abuser and paedophile. Meanwhile white people - especially white women - are acting as if Meghan Markle has committed a crime. Her crime, of course, is being Black.

Hear that noise? That’s me screaming with delight after innocently waking up this morning to the fabulous news that Meghan is heading to Australia as a judge on next season’s Junior MasterChef!!! 🥳💃🕺 Too bad she’ll be filming in Melbourne rather than Sydney, but I can live with that. Same country, same air! 🎉 Excuse me while I swoon. 😍 #JuniorMasterChef

The Royal PR machine will launch 500 more hit pieces on Meghan this week just to distract you from the fact that Prince William is literally evicting generational tenant farmers from historic Duchy land to liquidate assets. Prince William modeling himself as the face of solving homelessness while serving eviction notices to historic Duchy families to maximize profits. "William can go to hell" sums up exactly how real people feel about this structural greed. Greed at its finest.
