Join myself from Westminster and @hevcarrick on @NationalWorld's 2024 Budget live blog with Jeremy Hunt expected to cut National Insurance once again. Will this move the dial for the Tories? Most polls show voters are in favour of more public spending. nationalworld.com/read-this/…

Today marks two years since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan. Thank you to these two remarkable Afghan women who bravely told me about how they are defying the Taliban’s crackdown on their rights by studying at an ‘underground’ university. nationalworld.com/news/world…

I moved to Edinburgh from Glasgow one year ago and comparing the two transport systems is like night and day. Any time anyone complains about buses etc in Edinburgh I talk about Glasgow like I'm having war flashbacks

A week off which was full of music - Muse on Friday and Arctic Monkeys on Sunday ✨ Muse were incredible and sorry to the Glastonbury crowd but Arctic Monkeys were obviously saving themselves for the bigger show at Bellahouston, didn’t disappoint one bit 💅
