Kuenssberg couldn't sleep last night, imagining how she would spring "Santa Burnham" on the PM. She is crestfallen that he actually has a cogent answer, that is not a version of "it's true, poor people are wicked and must be punished".
Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

"The one thing your viewers can know for sure is that we believe in controlling spending and reducing taxes, not increasing taxes," says Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, whose own government raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years, just two years ago.

When his party is confronted about being completely wrong on Russia and Ukraine, opposing all aid to Kyiv, and rejecting sanctions on Moscow, Le Pen’s right hand has only one response.

The PM is asked if Mr Daniel Thomas ("Danny Tommo") is racist, on the BBC
"Its hard to conclude he has anything but racist views", he says. He doesnt like to just throw labels but his actions have been "the worst kind of hateful behaviour".

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
