Listen – Is it now a “Hammond” not an “Abbott?” as Chancellor makes £20bn mistake

Watch – Boris Johnson angers Sikhs who ban alcohol by discussing whisky in temple
Foreign secretary Boris Johnson blundered again yesterday when he talked about whisky during a visit to a Sikh temple - a religion which bans alcohol.

Four stats that rubbish May’s record unemployment rate
Theresa May will be jumping for joy at the latest job market figures that show the UK unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest in 42 years - but don't be fooled.

Why Corbyn’s Labour Manifesto Is Well Worth A Read
Though many of the main elements of Labour's 2017 election manifesto and its 'For The Many Not The Few' pitch were leaked last week, the full manifesto is well worth a read as it offers a very different vision for Britain than the Conservatives have given us so far.

Watch – Emily Thornberry tells Michael Fallon he is talking “bollocks” on morning TV
Emily Thornberry accused Michael Fallon of talking 'boll..." and just about manages to mouth the rest of the rude word on Sunday morning live TV. Then she quickly managed to change what she was going to say and instead said "that is untrue!" after Fallon claims Labour is planning to renegotiate the future of the Falklands, which Argentina claims should be their territory. Thornberry was annoyed when Fallon accused Jeremy Corbyn of "openly" supporting the IRA 30 years ago. However...
