1. ANY government should be doing what's best for the country as a matter of course 2. Moot point, they won't collectively resign anyway
Labour are so unpopular right now they may as well just do what is best for the country - they have nothing left to lose.

A unilateral generosity that should start, with due warning, to be selectively ended.
The one actual concession secured (sort of) by Labour in their abject "reset" is simply not being delivered by the Germans. Meanwhile, don't forget, we allow all the EU and many others to use e-gates, and have done for the last 5 years.

I am grateful to Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and Gavin Williamson for co-signing my ECHR Withdrawal Bill in the House of Commons today. I regret that it was voted down.

What a dishonest tweet.
We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR. Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

This, generally.
People think it must be satisfying to say "I told you so". No, it's not. It's infuriating to have spent more than 15 years not being listened to by politicians and officials.

Not to mention supplying nesting sites for common [sic] garden birds.
Today in UK planning law ruins everything: NHS patients waiting for surgery in Lincolnshire could face a further one year delay for a new surgical centre, as the developers have to prove that they are providing "integrated bat bricks" and "provisions for hedgehogs to pass"

Quite the opposite. She has a mandate to be any absolute fool she wants to be.
Coventry South needs a by-election: Zarah Sultana has no mandate for disarming the British people and betraying Ukraine... 1/2 (link in next tweet)...

I need to emphasize that Awa III is also American and also born in Chicago. This was done 100% on purpose
The head of the Assyrian Church of the East “accidentally” gave Pope Leo XIV a Cubs jersey, and he doesn’t look happy about it.

The High Court will today hear a landmark case exposing how ministers sidelined Chagossians from decisions over their own homeland. No more deals behind closed doors. Time for transparency, honesty and justice.

These deserve to be better known. Please do share any that strike your fancy. And yes, I do appreciate in my ones I look like I've been wrestling a Van der Graaf generator.
There's a range of video shorts here, by contributors including Lord Owen, Sir John Redwood, David Campbell-Bannerman, Dr Russell Foster, Suzanne Evans, Sir Liam Fox, Lord Lilley and others. Lots to think about and share. https://t.co/8OqU9yBgLY

See, this man spells the country's name right.
Delighted about Typhoon exports to Turkey. Great news for the Wharton workforce and wider UK supply chain. As with the Norway frigates, masses of work was done under the previous Government and by yours truly, as Minister for Defence Procurement🧵

Yes. But identifying the various drivers requires considerable work in advance of any manifesto. And even then this is only a partial fix.
The incentives leading companies to embrace woke ideologies must be stripped out of British law. Consumers should be able to simply vote with their money. But currently the regulatory framework is rigged against common sense. This must change.

Feels like a problem that we’ve only had one PM since Gordon Brown with much of a sense of why they wanted to run the country, and that that person was Liz Truss.
Rishi Sunak to the Times: "Clearly, I miss the levers of power. I’m proud I brought in the smoking ban for the young. I miss playing cricket in the garden with the England cricket team and the staff. But not much else."

I don't think it's that at all. I think there are just some politicians who are inept word crafters or who ought to spend more time thinking before speaking. Sometimes media discourages the latter.
Wes is right. Her comments were clearly racist. But there's a broader issue. I don't think Sarah Pochin is personally bigoted. But there's now a bidding war amongst mainstream politicians to see how far the rhetoric on race can be pushed. There are no boundaries any more.

“It is down to human error, with the wrong paperwork on it or something" is NOT a valid explanation. Parliament needs a detailed statement and a list of immediate fixes.
