That was a fast two to three years
In two to three years time, when Starmer and his government are no doubt deeply unpopular, I hope we in the media will ask ourselves: "Why were we so supine during the long 2024 election; why didn't we hold Labour properly to account while we could, and ask more probing

Northampton puts on a great Diwali celebration. Great to be part of the procession through the town. Huge well done to Neelam Aggarwal-Singh and the IHWO, as well as Anna King and Northampton Town Council for pulling together such a great day.

🚨🎥 WATCH: Robert Jenrick gets out a judge's wig and says he has uncovered judges with "links to open border charities" "It's like finding out half way through a football match that the ref is actually a season ticket holder for the other side"

MPs just voted on the two-child benefit cap. Only the @Conservatives back the cap, because we believe those on welfare should have to make the same choices as those who aren't. By contrast, Labour and Reform back unlimited handouts and expect working people to pick up the bill.

Labour's £35bn Chagos Surrender Treaty is an expensive humiliation for Britain and leaves us weaker.

Nadhim Zahawi’s story about his tax affairs doesn’t add up. After months of denials, the truth emerges. His position is untenable. Rishi Sunak must dismiss him from his Cabinet.👇🏻

They actually said it. Keir Starmer's Labour government thinks the rights of illegal immigrants are more important than the rights of local people. https://t.co/EE2WRFJ1dB

“Under a Labour government we would freeze energy bills. We wouldn’t allow them to go up.” ~ Keir Starmer Another lie. Energy prices are to rise again, by 2% in October. Energy prices are 12% higher than when Labour came into government in July 2024.

It really is very unfortunate for this new government that inflation has taken off again, right after the general election.

Fines for fare dodgers increased by 55% the month after this video. It just shows the authorities can act when they want to. Now go after the phone thieves and shoplifters that are blighting high streets.
Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground. Lawbreaking is out of control. He's not acting. So, I did.👇

Imagine if we continued to grow nuclear power production after 1997 instead of letting it collapse.

Nuclear is better for nature. It uses 3,000x less land than onshore wind, operates 24/7, and produces zero emissions while protecting our countryside. But piles of red tape stand in the way. So, we're using amendments in Parliament to force Labour to get Britain building.

When we say 'two tier justice' this is what we mean. Prison for tweets, but no punishment for calling for the death of elected Members of Parliament. https://t.co/94Ugpulu7g

How low is too low? Kneecap seem determined to find out, judging by their never-ending mission to troll the UK. But last month even the West Belfast trio seemed to go too far, after a video emerged...

Two tier justice. Outrageous
Counter-terror police have confirmed they will not be charging Kneecap over a November 2023 video in which they say ‘the only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP’. ✍️ Steerpike
