Rebecca Harris is MP for Castle Point

Rachel Reeves spent the entire election telling us that she wouldn’t raise national insurance.

Now, she’s saying something very different…

How is it possible that this person is somehow a candidate for President of the United States? 🤣🤣

Keir Starmer’s genius in action:

1) Give up British territory
2) Pay them for the privilege
3) Keep the illegal migrants who land there

The worst trade deal of all time?

@APDAWG1 2/2 Domestic abuse affects 2.4 million people a year in the UK. The meeting will highlight how abusers often exploit the bond people build with pets & how we can work together to protect animals AND people.

1/2 We're pleased to welcome Dr Samantha Pickles to speak at our event in Parliament on Tuesday, which we'll co-host with @APDAWG1. *NOW FULL*

Dr Pickles founded the Animal Related Crime Working Group & is committed to raising awareness of the links between animal & human abuse.

Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas, was the architect of the terrorist atrocities in Israel on October 7th.

He was responsible for the brutal murders, captivity and execution of Israeli civilians.

His death should not be mourned and is a step towards securing regional stability.

England’s primary school children are the best readers in the Western World, thanks to brilliant teachers and Phonics.

In Wales, Labour let down children because of ideology.

Kier Starmer said Wales would be Labour’s blueprint for the UK.

Please no.

An NHS trust recruiting psychologists working with children with gender dysphoria says applicants must practise “in a gender affirmative manner.”

As I said in Parliament, this contradicts the Cass Review. Unfortunately the Leader of the House failed to back Cass.

At PMQs yesterday, @RishiSunak highlighted the risks posed to #freespeech and #academicfreedom by China's growing influence over UK universities. It's unfortunate that Sir Keir dodged the question, because we urgently need clarity on this issue from the government.

Thanks to a…

Utterly surreal moment at PMQs.
Rishi asks if his last question about Chinese sanctions on MPs on all sides...Keir gives, quite obviously, pre prepared answer attacking Conservatives, the economy and Labour's plans. Not only tone deaf but just, odd.

The VIP section of a Taylor Swift concert.

New: The UK gov did not disclose a top official’s links with Labour on a key transparency form when pushing for her to get an impartial civil service job, newly released documents show.

On ITV last night explaining how Labour’s planned increase to Employer’s NI breaks their election promise and will destroy jobs

Rishi Sunak's £2,000 tax figure looking pretty bang on.

The cynicism of Labour's election campaign is quite something.

Transparently obvious that the plan was always to put up taxes to pay for higher public spending, they just weren't willing to campaign on it.

Worst economic inheritance since WWII? Of course.

Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery.

Slavery or de facto slavery was standard practice throughout the world from the dawn of civilization until a few hundred years ago. It is even…

The FT needs to use straightforward language.

These are not ‘funding gaps’ or ‘black holes’, but political choices made by Reckless Reeves to spend more money than the government currently raises.

See also ‘Teenagers, budgeting - lack thereof’.

Sigh. Can Labour stop announcing things that were from the last Government as if they are their own?

The £68m here is from a Boris Johnson plan that started in 2022. It was allocated £80m so this is actually a reduction.
