In a return of the long-running feud between SW1 bruisers Steve Bray and Lee Anderson the two have scrapped again this afternoon on Whitehall. Some highlights:
Anderson: “Have you got a job yet?” Bray: “I’m self-employed.”
Anderson: “You’re a scrounger, you’re a parasite, you’re a drain on the public finances. You’re a man of interest to the DWP.” Bray called him a liar for that last one…
Bray: “Who votes for idiots like this?” Anderson: “Who voted for you?”
Anderson went to tip Bray’s hat over and Bray pushed him back before police intervened. Ding ding ding…
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
