Terrific reporting by Channel 4 Dispatches and the Sunday Times on the sources of the immense wealth Charles and William trouser. I wouldn’t change a word of what I wrote in fortnight ago

Kemi Badenoch tells Laura Kuenssberg the Budget “is not coherent” - seconds after saying the NHS will have to pay employers NI, which it won’t. She’s the one who’s incoherent. But the top line here is she just announced the Tories will vote AGAINST the Budget’s £22bn for the NHS.
