Coming up #Newsnight 🔥 rail renationalisation? 🔥 catch and kill Trump trial - excl UK TV intvw with key National Enquirer editor @LachCartwright 🔥 record rents/ house building slump - key electoral battleground. We have a renter & landlord to debate. @nicholaswatt @BenChu_
This is a sign of the way in which govt presentation of spending has been degraded over time. I'd claim it started with Gordon Brown and Charlie Whelan cumulating current (resource) spending changes over years (which we would refuse to do)
The @TheIFS's @BenZaranko has reverse engineered the full spreadsheet shenanigans of HMT on defence spending here 👀👇 (BTW If you're at all interested in the public finances and you're not following Ben on here you're doing it wrong!) x.com/BenZaranko/sta…

"£75 billion increase in defence spending" is political arithmetic: - adds up all the cash increases over the next five years ("your pay's going up by £200 - over 5 yrs, that's a £1k pay rise") - compares that with letting defence budget fall as a share of GDP (v unlikely).

Some context for that "£75 billion" figure ministers are using for the promised increased in defence spending 👇
The Treasury is claiming that hitting the target of raising UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP in 2030 amounts to a "£75 billion increase". How do they get to this £75bn number? 🤨 Thread...🧵1/9 x.com/hmtreasury/sta…

Huge congratulations to the amazing @MishalHusain @BBCr4today @BBCNews on winning the VLV Award for Best Individual Contributor to Audio #publicservicebroadcasting
Very surprised to end up with this in a field amid some absolute bosses. Nowt without sources, lawyers and eds.
Some news from me. I’m delighted to say that I’ve been appointed as Deputy Editor at @BBCWorldatOne @BBCPM #BH and #TW2 All brilliant programmes that I’m excited about returning to.
@DanNeidle @BenChu_ Thankfully, Ben will still work with NN on some economic stories
After seven amazing years, I am leaving @BBCNewsnight in May. When I started in 2017, for what I thought would be six weeks of election coverage planning, I never would've imagined the adventure that lay ahead.
EXCLUSIVE: A businessman who boasted of using spies trained by the CIA, Mossad and MI6 for private espionage operations was invited to a dinner with the home secretary after the company he ran gave £70k to the Conservatives. Scoop with @Direthoughts (1/4) theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
It was a true honour to interview the incredible @BenChu_ on Thursday. Thank you to @manlitphil for this opportunity & to everyone in the audience for bearing with me whilst I hosted for the first time. I look forward to next time 😊
I think everyone in the packed audience tonight listening to @BenChu_ learned a lot about the Chinese in Britain. I certainly did. Thanks to @manlitphil @molly_muses @anthonyburgess and, of course, Ben! 👏👏 #China #Chinese #Manchester #UK manlitphil.ac.uk
Thank you for all the wonderful, supportive, replies. And for those who just tagged along to say things about perceived left or right bias, you helped the tweet to 3M views so I guess that’s something too
I once stumbled across the Dutch PM doing a live Q&A in The Hague. I said I was from Newsnight, could I ask a question. His response: “Of course!” Then he turned to his Dutch audience and said: “Newsnight, an excellent programme. You can watch it on BBC 2 at 11:30 Dutch time.”
This is a good thread. I would add, as someone who often does the studio debate bit, the thing that makes audiences like it is that it is anchored in the journalism that surrounds it. (The same for some of the best interviews on the programme.)
Apologies, but this is going to be a lengthy thread on @BBCNewsnight #Newsnight. The truly terrible decision to axe 34 of its staff, cut it by 10 mins, cut its original reporting and investigations, and to change its format to 'studio-based debate' format. 1/22
The Radio Times billing for Newsnight's first scheduled edition on Monday, 28 January 1980. Ongoing strike action meant its debut was actually on Wednesday, 30 January.
A very sad day for all the team @BBCNewsnight , past and present. This programme has stood apart from the rest from the start. Its agenda-setting approach and distinct mindset represents everything that independent, fearless journalism has always been about.
The honour of presenting @BBCNewsnight falls to me tonight. I have worked on the programme for 32 years, around the world, risking my life many times for its journalism. You can well imagine my feelings at cuts to our staff and budget of more than 50% bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…
The team has been living and working with this news since it was leaked to the Times two months ago but it's still devastating. It's been a privilege to work with so many talented friends and colleagues over the years. bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…
Lovely to be nominated alongside such a brilliant bunch of journalists for Scoop of the Year. #PagefieldPressAwards

Absolutely psyched to join the FT as a contributing editor.
🚨🚨🚨Super cool to have the brilliant @toby_n now onboard the FT ship as a contributing editor. Here is an oped today on how the UK must look abroad to reform its pensions. Toby will write on topics across markets, asset allocation, pensions and economics ft.com/content/bc4615…
Exactly 8 years ago, I arrived in Westminster for my first ever sketch. It was the autumn statement, John McDonnell threw Chairman Mao’s red book at George Osborne, the banter era was born. Autumn statement again today and I’m writing my first sketch for The Times. Quite excited.
