#Labour Party rocked to its foundations as a former Mayor of #Lichfield City (Parish) Council quits Labour Party in protest. Sir Keir Starmer (who is probably abroad) has not yet commented.

Tell that to relatives of the unnecessarily dead, owing directly to your feckless, entitled, thick twat of a brother.
'The conclusion is being received as though my brother was the Grim Reaper himself.' Rachel Johnson defends Boris Johnson and his cabinet, as she describes the Covid inquiry as 'expensive and vindictive'.

What’s the point in having the Tory Shadow Chancellor on criticising a budget that hasn’t even been announced yet and a former Tory Chancellor on criticising a budget that hasn’t even been announced yet? #bbclaurak

Remember when @ed_miliband said energy bills would fall £300 under Labour? They’re going up again with price cap now £190 higher. They’re the highest in Europe because of his mad dash to #NetZero

A proper news organisation would say; The Prime Minister is back from the G20 summit in Johannesburg. For @TrevorPTweets @SkyNews it’s the PM is back from his travels. Baked in bias from the outset. #trevorphillips #bbclaurak

Serious questions remain over the widespread pre-Budget briefings. Parliament and the public deserve answers - and the integrity of the Budget process must be respected. My letter to the Treasury 👇🏻

Endless handouts don’t lift children out of poverty. Getting parents into work does. Scrapping the 2-child cap isn’t kind, fair to taxpayers or affordable... yet we're the only party who sees this.

@ox_anna29 @bill_howarth It was a waste of an interview to endlessly repeat a question even a novice wouldn’t answer. Did she really expect she was The Chosen One to whom he’d reveal everything?

Beth Rigby has had time to tweet about a Budget that hasn’t happened yet like 20 times yet not a peep on Nathan Gill. Weird that.
At CHOGM in Samoa, days before the 2024 Budget, the PM committed to manifesto promises on not raising taxes for working people. Roll on 2025, days before the Budget, and he won’t…

Though I yield to nobody in my view that BoJo was just about the least appropriate person to have as PM when Covid struck, I’m sceptical of the Hallet report’s claim that had he locked down a week earlier 23,000 lives would have been saved. First, it’s easy to be wise after the

On Covid there are two big questions: Where did the virus come from - and were the lockdowns worth the terrible price we paid? Baroness Hallett's hopelessly incoherent £200m inquiry failed to answer either https://t.co/6NdMrwM99T

The quality of political journalism is dire in this Country,at every opportunity Chris Mason tries to undermine the PM.
Was there any need of #bbcnews Chris Mason to describe the G20 as a jaunt? It's part of Starmer's role.

Nonsense. The Conservatives: 🔵Fixed Labour's broken economy 🔵Slashed the deficit 🔵Created millions of jobs leading to record employment 🔵Delivered Brexit 🔵Gave record funding to the NHS 🔵World-beating Covid vaccination programme 🔵Took school children from the bottom to
@MarkVipond Tory legacy is full of betrayal. It’s mind blowing how anyone who is objective would believe anything the Tory party has to say. They have shown that in govt, they don’t keep their promises on most things. That’s why they will be demolished at GE & rightly so.
