If a government of any other country scrapped jury trials, suspended MPs for voting against them, financially punished farmers and pensioners, arrested peacefully protesting farmers, enforced mandatory digital ID, allowed a horrendous number of people to be prosecuted for online comments, cancelled local and mayoral elections and lied about the status of government finances, the media would call them a power-mad dictatorship.

Another broken promise. Another lie. This hasn’t happened. Food prices continue to rise.

Imagine a government so deceitful and vindictive that they fabricate a £22 billion black hole to justify punishing farmers with the inheritance tax? Welcome to the Labour government.

Lying about a £22bn black hole to justify punishing pensioners, disabled & farmers has to be one of the most disingenuous & vindictive government policies in living memory. Starmer and Reeves should resign over this. But they won’t. Power is more important to them than integrity.

“£22 billion black hole” This grotesque lie from Reeves and Starmer led to thousands of farmers facing financial ruin with the inheritance tax. It’s one of the most shameful and duplicitous economic acts ever committed by a government. Absolutely shameful.

“Let’s make up a £22 billion black hole to justify cutting the winter fuel allowance from pensioners, cutting welfare from the disabled, punishing farmers with inheritance tax and small businesses with tax rises. And when we get busted for lying, we will play the victim.”

How has Blair Murray gone from being our best player to a total liability in 6 months? How is Ben Thomas even in the 23? Max Llewelyn should have tried second row…

Andrew Neil is right. “Net Zero is the most costly self-inflicted wound in modern British history.”

Any Labour MP who thinks Rachel Reeves is doing a good job on the economy needs to get out and talk to people in the real world.

Labour are about to raise your taxes because Labour don’t want to stop spending £15 billion on asylum hotels, £13 billion a year on foreign aid, £12 billion on Net Zero, £10 billion on welfare for people who aren’t even British, £7 billion importing Afghans, £6 billion subsidising social housing for people who also aren’t British, £4 billion on welfare for people with “anxiety”, £1 billion policing the small boats, £600 million looking after foreign criminals, and £250 million translating NHS material into other languages for people who cannot even be bothered to learn English. Labour could make different choices; but Labour don’t want to.

Chancellor’s speech paraphrased for anyone who missed it: “Everything we did last year hasn’t worked; we promised we wouldn’t have to ask for more money but we were wrong. We will be asking for more money and NONE of this is our fault. You’re all VERY lucky we’re in charge.”

Reeves seriously still blaming Britain’s sky high borrowing costs on Truss and Kwarteng. Pull the other one mate

Pretty obviously an innocent mistake, but an example of how the way we do regulation turns even people who want to follow the rules into lawbreakers.
🚨 NEW: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has admitted to breaking housing regulations after unlawfully renting out her family home for £3,200 a month without a licence after moving in to No 11 She has tonight referred herself to the Independent Ethics Adviser [@HarriLine]

There’s always a tweet.
I welcome Leeds City Council's decision to expand their selective landlord licencing policy to include the Armley area. While many private landlords operate in the right way, we know that lots of private tenants in Armley face problems with poorly maintained housing. (1/3)

Greenpeace co-founder, Dr. Patrick Moore: "I am firmly of the belief that the future will show that this whole hysteria over climate change was a complete fabrication." "CO2 is the most important nutrient for all life on Earth and without it this would be a dead planet."

Ed Miliband promised to cut your energy bills by £300. But bills are rising AGAIN today because of his political choices. Britain cannot afford Ed Miliband.
