@StevenJNorris @JamesMelville There isn’t anybody with an ounce of scientific practicality/reality in this government. Could you imagine if a proposal for this had been put before Margaret Thatcher - it would have been mass red ink and verbal hair drying time

The Minister for Women and Equalities, Bridget Phillipson is quoted in the Telegraph as saying trans people must not be used as a “political punchbag”. Which confirms what many women already knew: despite the job title, her priority is not women. If it was, she’d acknowledge

Under @KemiBadenoch , the changed Conservative Party is rebuilding and setting out a plan to get Britain working again through lower taxes, reforming welfare, cheaper energy, and taking a chainsaw to red and green tape.

#EdMiliband is lying when he says high energy bills are due to high #fossilfuel prices. U.K. #gas is back to where it was 4-5 years ago before #Putins invasion. Our #energybills are high because of all the renewable subsidies and taxes to support those that won’t pay. He’s
Ed Miliband has been caught telling porkies again, repeating the lie that energy bills are high due to the cost of fossil fuels. In fact, says Paul Homewood, it's the astronomical cost of subsidising renewables.

What’s the point of a ‘women & equalities minister’ if her priority isn’t women & their equality? @bphillipsonMP

@StevenJNorris @PhilMyers53 Nothing is impossible, but I still reckon desperation to hang on to a semblance of power will win over public interest. Happy to be proven wrong on this occasion as I really do want to see the back of the most useless Government ever.

4 months & counting & still @bphillipsonMP sits like an obdurate donkey on the EHRC's post FWS guidance. Instead of publishing it, she embarks on a massive diversion by babbling on about not using trans -claiming people as "punchbags". Captured, timid, feeble. Get on with it.

The answer is simple: Kemi has a backbone. She has the spine and courage to say things as they are — not as a focus group wants to hear them. Other leaders, including Nigel Farage, dodge calling out extremism because they put votes and power ahead of people and truth. Silence is
Can someone please explain to me how a British politician, in the wake of the ‘atrocity in Bondi’, can clearly identify that Islamic extremism is a threat to our way of life while our own Prime Minister can’t even bring himself to say the words.

😡 Rachel Reeves is hammering hardworking Brits. Her freeze on tax thresholds will leave middle earners £505 worse off in real terms by 2030–31. She hasn’t got a clue what she's doing.

There is a push to characterise Starmer as 'decent' but not good at politics. I encountered him in person at a compositing meeting at the 2019 Labour conference and found him conniving, two-faced and lacking convictions. And bad at politics.

“We will cut energy bills by £300 a year.” Didn’t happen. Energy bills are up by 18% since Labour came into power in July 2024.

More victim-blaming from the minister for women & equalities. Where is her sympathy for all the women who have lost jobs, medals, been denied a platform and beaten up? Trans people must not be used as political punchbag, says Phillipson https://t.co/LzL9APpYOI

@RachelReevesMP FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT - FTSE 100 isn't an accurate baometer of the UK economy. 60% of the earnings are $ related and about 10% Euro related. If Labour want to claim credit, the Gov't should start DEREGULATING financial services PDQ to put the CITY of LONDON in the vanguard!

Has the penny dropped yet? I await the 'whataboutery' from the radicalised left wing agitators. It's going to be beautiful.

Exactly this. Labour is literally in power, wrecking the country in real time, yet Reform subscribers are still obsessively attacking the Tory party. That alone tells you everything. Farage has fallen out with Habib, fallen out with Lowe, taken swings at Kemi, and even managed
Has anybody else noticed that online X accounts that support Rupert Lowe & Bitter Ben Habib never post about the 14 disastrous years of Tory rule? Furthermore, Biter Ben Habib & Rupert Lowe rarely, if ever post negative comments about Tory mistakes when in government?
