Englishness must be open to anyone of any background, colour of creed, so long as they were raised here. My view in @Daily_Express about Suella Braverman and what Englishness means. @sundersays @DPJHodges @FraserNelson

Suella Braverman should be praised for her refusal to shy away from sensitive topics, but it doesn't mean she always gets things right.

It's important to understand what the lie involves here. I would be amazed if Starmer or any Minister explicitly said "make sure Matthew Collins say x in his witness statement". But what is clear is that at some point Collins felt it necessary to emphasise what the CURRENT

People seem to think there is some mystery to the China scandal. I’m not sure why. Everything - the change in stance on the Super Embassy, the change in tone in the witness statements, the stance on not placing China in the Enhanced Tier of the Influencer’s Register - can be

Simple question for the lobby to ask No10 press office: Can you confirm J Powell wrote a box note for the PM on the China spy case and will the PM give this note to Parliament so MPs can see whether the PM misled the House? (I'm told by officials in No10/CO that JP was

As I said earlier in the week, Keir Starmer lied. It’s a matter of documented fact now.
Keir Starmer’s misleading statements on the China spy scandal are a breach of trust with MPs and the public. He must correct the record in the Commons ASAP. My letter to the Prime Minister👇

He’s denied ever saying this. But it’s such a great quote we all want to believe it!

Gives up USING royal titles. He retains them formally, this is just an agreement about his stage name.

Socialists are a strange species, they repeat the same mistakes and are surprised that the results are always the same. Now they even talk about a wealth tax. Why are they so detached from reality?

“Get the flu jab” they say. What they don’t say is that 71 people would need to be vaccinated to avoid 1 flu case. So if you do go, take 70 friends with you and hope that you’re the 1 who benefits. 😉

Perhaps worth noting that even at Theresa May's low point she never polled under 17%.

Outlier pollsters aren't necessarily wrong (see Survation in 2017), but it's worth pointing out that no pollster other than FindOutNow has Labour on less than 20%.

Crossover for second place has finally happened -- at least in this one poll. Labour down to 15% is a judgment on their absymal first year in power

In other words, and let’s say it as it is, the government is lying.
Also, the important things we now know that we didn't know at PMQs: a) Starmer's argument the Government was bound to simply reflect the previous administrations position because they were in office at the time of the offences has been shown to be a lie by Collins cutting and

IMPORTANT - Starmer said “yes” when asked “is the govt saying that only one man, the DNSA, had anything to do with this? Is he seriously saying that the deputy didn’t discuss with the NSA, HS, or anyone in DS?” *That is extremely unlikely - Starmer will need to quit if he’s

This is interesting. But it’s no longer the heart of the issue. The issue now is Starmer’s incredible - literally - claim Collins failed to consult his boss, any Minister, any other SPAD, or No.10 about these issues.
Friends of deputy national security adviser Matt Collins tell @ShippersUnbound he provided sufficient evidence and "doesn’t understand" why China spying case was dropped. "He provided all of these evidence statements. He was told by the CPS that this was exactly what they
