There isn’t a backbone between them.
Keir Starmer? Weak on China. Kowtowing to Beijing. Nigel Farage? Weak on Russia. Blaming NATO for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Ed Davey? Just weak. Sitting silent while a Lib Dem councillor celebrates banning Jewish football fans. Not a backbone between them.

Dan Jarvis in the Commons repeatedly not agreeing to publish the minutes of the meetings in which the CPS requests for evidence were discussed. So we are not allowed to know what they asked for, or why this was refused, or even who decided to refuse it. Why not?

China allegedly spied on MPs, yet the case collapsed after Labour Ministers refused to hand over evidence. If Starmer chose Beijing over Britain, then he should grow a backbone and admit it. If not, why not hand over the evidence or is he too weak to stand up to China?

Margaret Thatcher, born 100 years ago #OTD, was our greatest prime minister. I know it is customary to prefix that accolade with “post-war” or “peace-time”, but I stand by it. Yes, Churchill got the big calls right in 1940. But he contracted out his domestic policy to Attlee. It

One of the most interesting effects of cutting stamp duty is the impact on housebuilding. As @CPSThinkTank research has shown, there’s an incredibly strong relationship between housing transactions and housebuilding (1/3)

Wow. Just wow. I had doubts, but she knocked it out of the park. Just what I needed. For this working class kid from a council estate in Liverpool, inspired by Maggie, it was the best Conservative Conference Speech I have heard for years. @Conservatives @KemiBadenoch

IMHO, that was a great speech from Kemi Badenoch. Three big pluses on the economics... 🤓 1️⃣ the new 'Golden Rule' (at least half of spending savings to be used to reduce borrowing) is pragmatic and sensible; in particular, it recognises the need to prioritise deficit reduction,
