In 2021, the Tories appointed Mr Haldane to "level up" the UK. At the time, he said "Levelling up the UK is one of the signature challenges of our time. It has also been a personal passion throughout my professional career."
"It would throw up a huge dust cloud of uncertainty."
Former chief economist at the Bank of England Andy Haldane says reopening a debate about Brexit ‘would be a damaging thing'.

Following the passing of Storm Boelo over the weekend, the National League has been advised that there was significant damage caused to Southport’s stadium, including damage to panels on the side of the main stand, advertising hoardings, and a marquee in the ground which has been ripped from its stand.
Given the extent of the damage, the limited timeframe to fully implement repairs ahead of tomorrow’s game against Macclesfield, and forecast over the next 24 hours, the National League has determined that the match will be postponed in the interest of safety for all parties concerned.

🎖️I've brought together 103 MPs from 11 parties & @PoppyLegion with a simple Budget ask:
Stop cutting injured veterans' benefits just because they've received military compensation.
Civilian compensation is protected. Veterans should be too.
Chancellor, this injustice must end

The BBC has systematically dismantled local radio while @Ofcom has stood by and watched. Audiences abandoned, communities betrayed, and public money squandered. This isn’t modernisation. It’s institutional vandalism, enabled by dreadful leadership & toothless regulator.
🤬🤬
As BBC local radio proposes yet more change despite ample budget in decent hands - is the game all over? How has it come to this? Who's responsible? I've tried to pull it together

Less than a week after having the banjo player from Mumford & Sons on, Newsnight is now platforming this load of cobblers, and clipping it for social media.
“Angela Rayner said...'Yeah my three day ration supply: mascara, concealer and a bottle of Sauvy B...'"
The Spectator's Lara Brown contrasts government messaging over emergency preparedness from Wes Streeting and Angela Rayner.

NEW modelling in the @DailyMail : low and middle-income households face a projected £900 Council Tax hike over the next decade if nothing changes.
Labour MPs are now urging the Chancellor to act at the Budget. A Proportional Property Tax would mean lower bills for 77% of us.
The budget is the time to act 👇dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Of course it is. The BBC is self-immolating.
