Laura Kuenssberg: “This year could make or break Sir Keir Starmer’s government” 24 hours is a long time in politics never mind an entire year, but I’m reasonably sure Kuenssberg never started the first show of the year saying similar things about a Tory government #bbclaurak

“Change'' “Fixing the foundations” “Smash the gangs” “£22 billion black hole” “Mission-driven government” "A Decade of National Renewal" "Hope for the Future" “Rebuilding Britain.” “Delivery, Delivery, Delivery” You are literally a walking, talking sloganeering machine.

@Keir_Starmer We need to shoot down this idea that a party can get elected off the back of manifesto pledges that it discards immediately after getting themselves elected.

My experience as one of her ministers when @KemiBadenoch was Business Secretary was that she understood and was 💯 behind small businesses Our announcements that we’ll scrap Stamp Duty and Business Rates for most pubs, shops and restaurants are 💯small business measures.

@afneil @BillyB_UK They’ve been in Government for 18 months and have demonstrably taken the country backwards on every front. Whether it is the economy, immigration, civil liberties, crime or allowing rampant anti-semitism, they are truly disgraceful. They will be shot down in 2029.

Like smash the people smuggling gangs? Or growth growth growth. Or our spending plans are fully costed. Or there will be no need for major rises in taxes. Or … oh just add your own.

Not only did PM Starmer claim credit for the fall in inflation and the stock market rally in his interview with BBC'S Laura Kuenssberg, but he also had the temerity to try and hang the banking crisis on the previous government, when it happened under Labour's rule! Staggering!

150,000 air miles of hypocrisy.

It's what the country's crying out for. Starmer's lost the plot. Farage never had one. Only the Conservatives have a plan to get our country back on its feet.

This comment nails it. Reform thrives in low-turnout locals, but a General Election is a different beast entirely. When turnout rises, people slow down, think twice, and realise Farage is unserious — all noise, no plan, constant U-turns, chasing popularity instead of governing.

🇬🇧 Every argument Mad Ed Milliband has used to justify his bat-shit crazy green energy claptrap has been destroyed. The delusional & dangerous lunatic needs to be fired. A full UK DOGE investigation needs to be carried out. #DumpEdMilliband Net Zero is a scam 🇬🇧

Ed Miliband has started off 2026 by lying again. Energy bills have gone up due to Labour policies. Fact.

Katharine Birbalsingh Exposes Labour’s Education Lie Katharine Birbalsingh's success has exposed an uncomfortable truth for this government. Her school does what ministers endlessly promise but rarely deliver: it takes deprived children, imposes order, teaches knowledge, and

As ever, Kemi proving herself to be the considered, intelligent, pragmatic party leader. She's ten times the Prime Minister Starmer or Farage will ever be.

There’s a lot of noise from people who couldn’t find Venezuela on a map yesterday. This is clearly a fast-moving and extremely serious situation. I am not going to rush to judgement or speculate on incomplete reports. I’m more interested in what Venezuelans risking their lives

Kemi Badenoch nails it 👇 Reform isn’t a serious party. It promises everything to everyone — tax cuts and ballooning welfare, lower spending and higher giveaways. That maths doesn’t work and it never will. Leadership means taking a stand and sticking to it, not chasing every
