Spoken to 5 City financiers in past 24 hours who are all Tory voters. All have said they are going to vote Labour at the next election because the Conservatives cannot be trusted with the economy. All beneficiaries of the abolition of the 45p rate. Feels like an inflexion point.

- Replying to @Bushra1ShaikhBushra you are not seriously applauding the assault if police officers are you?
- Replying to @sarahamyharvard@rezaaslan how do you know he was a Trump supporter?
- “Stop fighting your own party” says @RLong_Bailey to @Keir_Starmer in a fiery address at a Labour fringe meeting on “Take the fight to the Tories”#LabourConference2021
- Thank you to all my listeners for a record-breaking set of Rajar results. More than 600,000 people are tuning in each weekend, up 100,000 in just one year. Join me this Saturday and Sunday from midday until 3pm.
- If we're serious about reinvigorating people into politics, we need to stop shutting down debate.
00:00 - Replying to @AliMirajUKJust arrived in Italy to take the temperature here post-election and have seen an interesting response to this tweet. I speak to financiers all the time. The tide of opinion based on my conversations seems to be moving against the Tories as I will discuss on @GBNEWS at 4pm
- Replying to @PetronellaWyattI am afraid it is. The whole institution is utterly discredited and needs to be radically reformed. It’s beyond a joke now.
- Really mature, robust and engaging discussion with @OwenJones84 on @JeremyVineOn5 this morning. We disagree on increasing pensions in line with inflation but the bigger point we do agree on is that the wealthiest should pay more tax. I as a capitalist get that.
- Delighted that I continue to reach over 600,000 listeners every week with my weekend shows on Sat and Sun 12pm-3pm. Thank you for tuning in. We cover big and challenging topics where listeners share informed perspectives and we challenge and learn from each other #RAJAR
- The Tory candidate @DrNShastriHurst is a thoroughly decent man who deserved to be in Parliament. Utterly shafted by the seismic incompetence of his leader. A lot of Tory MPs will be choking on their turkey this Christmas #northshropshirebyelection
- This is the article I wrote in 2008 about the marginalisation of the white working class which I referenced on @LBC earlier highlighting that their concerns have been consistently ignored. Feedback welcomed. Focus on the concluding paragraph
