After 13 years of this government, our politics has increasingly been dragged into disrepute by cronyism, scandals and - as always happens with a Tory government - by sleaze. Good write up of my first Business Questions yesterday. 👇🏻

3 PMs since 2019 UK election and 3 FMs since 2021 Scottish election. What a shambles and a total dereliction of duty when the public need their governments the most. Time to let the public decide. Time to put country before party. Labour offer the change Scotland needs.

I get that David Cameron may need to charter a plane when travelling to multiple countries in one week, but that does not justify spending hundreds of thousands of pounds at taxpayers' expense to hire one of the most luxurious private jets on the market.

It’s fantastic to welcome Dr Dan Poulter MP to today’s changed Labour Party. It’s time to end the Conservative chaos, turn the page, and get Britain’s future back. I’m really pleased that Dan has decided to join us on this journey.

📽️ Blackpool Teaching Hospital has missed its A&E wait targets since 2015 - 5years before the pandemic but 5 years after the Conservatives came to power. 👇 I asked the Deputy Prime Minister who is at fault for NHS wait times.

Good to get a shout out from shadow commons leader @LucyMPowell in yesterday's Business Statement, as she calls out the late tabling of amendments watering down the Renters (Reform) Bill.

Another week, another litany of problems for the government. Last week scandal and internal positioning, this week a catalogue of failings.   This really is the reverse midas touch government - only they could turn what should be popular pledges into such a vote losers.

. @AngelaRayner absolutely bossed it at #PMQs - highlighting the governments failings for renters, leaseholders & the homeless. The DPM had nothing to say. They’ve given up on governing

Angela Rayner turns her attention to the ban on new leaseholds, which she says doesn't go far enough. Dowden replies by accusing Rayner of wanting to sweep away all but one of the Tory govt's reforms: "the right to buy your council house". #PMQs
