Bills will actually go UP for 7m households.

Bowie: We're very proud of how we helped last year.

So why not do it this year?

Bowie: We should be talking about the positive side.

What about people who can't pay their bills?

Bowie: I'm sure they'll see the positive side. 👀~AA

A bail bond is a loan.

Trump paid $20,000 (plus possibly other fees). The bail bondsman pays the other $180,000 of Trump’s bail.

HE COULDN’T PAY HIS OWN BAIL — and relied on debt, like he always does.

The Electoral Commission tells me they are now reviewing these redactions in the Conservative Party's annual accounts

At least one redacted entry appears to refer to donations, the source of which was not redacted in previous accounts.

My view, fwiw, is that even if the death penalty could be proved to deter murderers like Lucy Letby (it can’t), and even if there were zero possibility of a miscarriage of justice (there isn’t), it would still be a moral abomination. Thankfully Britain will not restore it.

Naga Munchetty - The standing charge for gas & electricity has gone up... do you think that right?

Andrew Bowie - The price cap has come down..

NM - Which will be offset by the rise in the standing charge?

AB - No it won't..

Staggering incompetence.

New school buildings commissioned by Govt closed due to safety fears, while others under construction were demolished before they even opened.

TRUMP MUGSHOT JUST DROPPED #TrumpMugshot

The Conservative Party's accounts for last year, just published by the Electoral Commission, contain loads of redactions for donations made by 'related parties'. Very unusual for so many of these to be hidden

You could print these and make one of those old-fashioned flick-books. A wonderful present for that special Brexiter in your life. ~AA
