I thought the VAT from school fees was to go on state schools? Not housing. You can’t even get your lies straight.
By the way what’s the latest estimate of how much the VAT will raise minus the cost of those leaving private education for the state system? Enough to build a…

You’ve just handed one of our borders over to the EU.

Labour have lost control.

They’ve raised taxes on working families. Businesses are closing. People are losing their jobs…

Labour’s answer: fund a tax cut for…Mauritians.

They are not on your side.

The first tax cuts Rachel Reeves has ever been responsible for are for the people of Mauritius!

Labour have no plan for Defence spending to reach 3% yet have found £30 billion for their Chagos surrender.

On our national defence, the Government are simply not serious.

In his first intervention, Reform’s new chairman has said: ‘Immigration is the lifeblood of this country, it always has been.’

This is just nonsense.

Of course, many skilled migrants have come to Britain legally and contributed to our economy and society. The UK should be the…

Bridget Phillipson is shameless - chirpy official post from the DFE says "2,346 more teachers!" - when their own website shows there are 400 fewer!

Bolton has the largest Egyptology collection in any UK museum outside of London and it’s in the brilliant Bolton Museum, right above the Central Library, but why?

It’s all down to Annie Barlow, a true unsung hero from Bolton.

Going to say it again. This government is has been in power less than a year. And its fiscal and economic credibility has already been destroyed. You can't treat the public as if they're fools like this, and hope to get away with it. And you can't do it with the financial markets…

Keir Starmer can't stop lying.

The OBR didn't find his phantom black hole. Last week the OECD downgraded UK growth for the next two years. And his tiny tariff deal with the US has unravelled, with our steel industry facing 25% tariffs.

Labour are taking the country backwards.

More than 14,000 migrants have crossed the channel in 2025 alone.

That’s 41% higher than this time last year.

This isn’t slowing down. Labour’s inaction is fuelling it. And it’s costing British taxpayers billions.

This is brazen Orwellian nonsense.

The party wants you to believe they can afford the policy now because of their wisdom and success. They want you to be grateful.

Ignore what you know. Believe the party.

I ran for the leadership with a simple promise: to tell the truth.

To call out the lies & delusions that dominate Westminster.

@afneil is right — even I’m shocked by just how far Starmer will go to try to fool the public.

Siri give me a metaphor for Britain in 2025.

Completely agree. Also like everyone else, we develop our beliefs from a range of different sources. In my case it's also caring for my father and seeing how callous people in authority can sometimes be towards a frail old man who can no longer speak for himself

If we could just tap into that …

I'm surprised Starmer didn't offer to pay their fees...

Let me get this straight. We conceded everything the EU asked for on:

-energy
-food
-fishing
-money

In return they politely reminded countries that they could - if they felt like it - let middle class Brits move slightly faster through airports on their way to Tuscan villas?

Dynamic alignment with EU regulation strikes me as a very bad idea.

Yet the signs are that Labour will do this next week.

A widespread view at Germany’s premier business conference last week was that the EU should deregulate.

Indeed, Merz named that 1 of his 3 EU missions 1/2

Both Belgium and Denmark have just repealed their bans on nuclear energy. The lights are being lit all over Europe.

Oddity that Starmer got to 🇦🇱 without a safety net on this. Trouble at @fcdo and all involved

This is a dreadful idea. I’m not naive, I know it’ll be seen as a Westminster village story and nobody will care, but it actually does matter.

This proposal will do none of the things being claimed. If anything, it will make the problem worse. The notion that “call lists” will…
