This is an example of effective and professional opposition work by Nick as the Shadow Secretary of State. It’s the difference between making noise and getting results.
This is what real opposition looks like. Lammy thought he could get away with deleting vital court archives. Our campaign stopped him.

Our Conservative team are the only ones holding this terrible Labour Government to account. And it is WORKING. Now, Labour has U-turned their efforts to delete vital court records. The same records that exposed the Grooming Gangs scandal. What is this…U-turn number 16?
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 David Lammy wanted to delete vital court archives. Records that helped to expose the reality of serious crimes like those of the rape gangs. Under Conservative pressure, Lammy has folded. Transparency means accountability. Accountability means justice.

Response times for ambulance red calls have increased again. Labour, propped up by Plaid, are failing those in need of emergency care. Only the Welsh Conservatives have a credible plan to fix our NHS and #FixWales

Regulators have no business dictating diversity targets to businesses - that’s why I made clear last year I would put an end to it 👇🏻 https://t.co/o0GJtOGH0T
It's insane that you're forced to do this stuff in order to run a company in Britain. These rules were introduced under a Tory government. It's shameful.

Starmer and Reeves have presided over a P45 government that has seen 134,000 jobs vaporised. My words in the @Daily_Express 👇🏻

We will bring back British industry. Half the cost of electricity in the UK now goes on Net Zero spending, taxes and levies. Only the @Conservatives have a plan to cut energy costs, restore industrial competitiveness, and make Britain a profitable place to build and grow again.

As a man from a working class family whose mother worked in the textile mills I would never sneer at working class people. But I do reserve the right to call out bullshit from whatever class it’s emanating.
@afneil The usual sneering from Andrew Neil towards a working class woman from a mining family.

Andrew Neil is saying what more and more people are feeling. Britain is broke. People are pissed off. In my entire lifetime, I’ve never seen Britain like it is right now. The country is decaying in so many different ways - caused by terrible governments.

3 positions on the two-child benefit cap in 10 months. Reform are all over the place. If it's this bad now, imagine this shambles in government.

If Starmer is to survive as PM with his reputation as a statesman intact, he can’t afford to outsource decision making to the Treasury. Unless he forces Reeves to find the money, it will be the armed forces with their heads in their hands. ✍️ Tim Shipman Article |

This is desperate stuff. Is this the same ‘outstanding chancellor’ who inherited a 2% inflation rate in July 2024, managed to almost double it within 12 months with huge public sector pay rises and massive tax rises on business costs and has only now seen it come down to 3%,
It’s coming down! That’s down to @RachelReevesMP. Why isn’t @christopherhope acknowledging that? 2% is the BoE, CPI inflation target set by HMG and monitored by MCP. We will get there under the excellent stewardship of our outstanding @UKLabour Chancellor. Give credit, where due.

People were eating full meals and still dying. In 1912 🇬🇧, it couldn't be explained. You could sit in front of bread, meat, potatoes, butter. A whole table full of food. Your body could waste away. Nobody knew why. Until a man from Eastbourne fed milk to rats. He fed young

Every single one of Mr Lammy's historical analogies is factually incorrect.
"Churchill replaced Chamberlain just days before the Second World War, Lloyd George replaced Asquith weeks into Somme, Eden lost his job during the Suez crisis" Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy says "there are always others" to replace Boris Johnson https://t.co/7PQkGFIP75

We are not prepared for the world as it is. That’s why I joined senior military and intelligence leaders calling for a clear path to 5% of GDP on defence. This is our 1936 moment. Deterrence costs money. War costs far more. https://t.co/iGi3vVPmHs

The move reflects growing unease about Britain's defences in the context of rising Russian aggression, US destabilisation of NATO, and the return of Islamic State.

Last week he stood in Munich & spoke rapturously about increased defence of Europe, yesterday Rachel Reeves blocked defence spending! Does the right arm know what the left arm is doing?
🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 Former heads of the Army, Navy and MI6, alongside other senior military officers, have tonight accused Sir Keir Starmer of not being honest with the British public over defence spending, in an open letter to the PM:

Pubs are bearing the brunt of Labour’s ruinous policies. I went behind the bar to learn more. The message was clear: get people off benefits and into work - and use the savings to cut taxes for pubs. The @Conservatives plan will save the local 👇🏻 https://t.co/MVbcEdjn6e
