Rachel Reeves stood at that podium in Downing Street yesterday and gave a laundry list of excuses. A big waffle-bomb with no answers, no conviction, and no direction. Apparently, she slipped out this speech three weeks before the Budget - something no serious Chancellor ever

As the debates on the ECHR and the Budget heat up, I have done some digging into the archives to see what the Prime Minister REALLY believes. His views are much more extreme than widely understood. My column in @CityAM todayđ https://t.co/mP7Dx9T5Ih

A lot is written about how we donât know the true Keir Starmer, but this article really does show his instincts â which are far more radical than widely understood

When Bridget Phillipson says primary school kids need to be drilled about "disinformation", this is the sort of thing it will mean in practice - that grooming gangs are "disinformation"
BREAKING: Annual training for School Governors - already completed by more than 5,000 - warns them that grooming gangs concerns must be dismissed as âdisinformationâ with anyone expressing them reported to authorities as a âsafety concernâ (via @Telegraph)

It's been SIX MONTHS since the Supreme Court ruled that sex means biological sex. And yet, what has the Government done since then to protect womenâs rights? Now they plan to kick the can even further down the road. This Government is letting women down.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission told Bridget Phillipson to stop holding up the implementation of the Supreme Court ruling on recognition of women. Instead of getting on with it... she's moaning at them.

If sickness benefits pay more than the minimum wage, itâs no wonder some lacking confidence donât take the risk of getting a job. Britain needs them back in work, for their sake and our economy. Only @Conservatives have the plan & backbone to get Britain working again.

What we saw from the Chancellor today was a waffle-bomb. Rachel Reeves must stop blaming others & admit sheâs made a mess. Fairness means living within our means so our children donât pay for her mistakes. She should grow a backbone, steal our plan & get Britain working again.

3-weeks until the Budget. My message to Rachel Reeves is clear: Cut government spending - including the welfare bill - and you don't need to break your promise and raise taxes again.

The Labour benches empty. What am insult to the Chagossians in the public gallery. This treaty is the most shameful act of the Labour government in its first year
Labour doesnât have the support they need for their surrender of Chagos bill. Good to see it pulled. Now they need to cancel it altogether.

Samir Zitouni has worked on the trains for 20 years Samâs actions on Saturday were selfless, brave and undoubtedly saved lives. They also resulted in serious injury to himself His gallantry must be recognised I hope @cabinetofficeuk acts quickly to recognise this true heroism

đšNewsflash: weâre not in government anymore. Itâs time to start holding the people in charge to account. Instead of offering tissues at every Labour sob story, we need to point out the mistakes of the last budget so theyâre not repeated. Reeves promised not to come back for
Badenoch wants to lay blame ALL ec woes on Reeves. It takes 5 mins of this i/v for Badenoch to acknowledge some of Toriesâ responsibility. It matters cos 2/3 of voters still donât trust Tories on economy & economy is at heart of their rebuild > 6 mins here

The only way to end the decline is to get Britain working again. The @Conservatives are the only Party with the backbone to get it done.

âSend me those leaflets!â. Yesterday, Nigel Farage shredded their 2024 General Election âOur Contract With Youâ policy promises. Today, Richard Tice disowned his own partyâs local campaign pledges to cut council tax. Simply unbelievable.
âThere's two leaflets from two Reform campaigns in local electionsâŠthey say the phrase, cut your taxes.â âWe never said that at the party leadership level.â Richard Tice insists itâs âuntrueâ that Reform promised tax cuts. @StigAbell | @TiceRichard

Incredible. Tice claims they "never promised" to cut council tax in the local elections. They promised *exactly that* in elections across the country. Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire. That's exactly what they said! Unreal!
Richard Tice(Reform MP): The Times headline that says Reform promised to bring council tax down is simply untrue & has to be corrected. Stig Abell: The Times quotes local leaflets saying we'll cut taxes RT: We never said that...

Kemi: You cannot guarantee that everything is going to work out. You have to allow people to make mistakes, allow people to change their minds, take a risk, if you ever want to get this country working again. I'm afraid that risk aversion is killing us. The price of avoiding
