The only party who can beat Andy Burnham and this rotten Labour government, is the Tories under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership. The Tories are now second ahead of Reform and rising. A Reform vote will help the socialists.

The Church of England led the way in abolishing slavery in the 19th Century. Absolutely no reason for apologising or paying spurious ā€˜reparations’. Christ Church Anglican Cathedral in Zanzibar was built on the site of the old slave market @churchofengland @ArchbishopSarah
Whole country full of people making sacrifices like this - but the leadership want to give away £100m in slavery "reparations" so they can grandstand - very poor.

Rejoining the #EU without a referendum would be totally disastrous for this hopeless Labour Government. Bring it on.
ā€œI guess the question is, how much of a say? Would rejoining the EU require a referendum?ā€ Labour MP: ā€œWell, I think we’ll… we’ll wait and see… we’ll wait and see.ā€ Absolutely clueless. The whole Labour government are incompetent.

Couldn’t agree more. I stood as a Save the Parish candidate for the House of Laity in the Diocese of Peterborough for General Synod. The real work is being done at parish level.
"The Church has increased its administrative staff by nearly 80 per cent in 20 years while the number of parish priests has almost halved" says @emmasthomson "Where is the logic in running a charity which increases its administrative costs relentlessly while the donor base is shrinking?"

Replying to @JamieFranklin40
The Church cannot survive without serious investment in its local churches and communities, sadly this doesn't seem a priority for them as they are preoccupied with fashionable political causes at the expense of their followers and parishioners.

Several instances of Christ showing anger in the Gospels, including overturning the tables of the moneychangers in the Temple. "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword,ā€ Matthew 10:34. The self-appointed religious elite of his day were the main target @churchofengland @ArchbishopSarah

Even within Labour’s ā€œno return to austerityā€ constraints, we could close the deficit with only mild spending restraints. It mainly requires a shift from expensive but popular taxes to effective but palpable ones. Here’s how to do it. Paywall down. telegraph.co.uk/gift/19a771c…

From Piddington to Linton-on-Ouse to Barnham to Crowborough, Labour is imposing migrant camps on communities across the country, overriding local concerns and raising serious questions about women’s and girls’ safety.

The bonkers and delusional Remoaners would face a far heavier defeat if it ever got to another Referendum
The reasons people voted to leave the EU in 2016, are even stronger reasons to stay out of the EU and its many tentacles of control in 2026. Those who campaign to rejoin want to ignore this. To obscure and deny it. But the facts are there for all to see. They will lose. Again.

Great - this Labour Government is heading for total economic disaster to be replaced by @KemiBadenoch and the Conservatives. We are reliving the 1970s.
This is simply ridiculous. Why should taxpayers be lumbered with more debt and higher taxes to pay for more benefits? Wrong priorities from Andy Burnham and Labour, yet again.

Labour want everything. They’ll tax everything and anything. Your home, your car, your job, your shares, your savings, your belongings, your holiday. You name it, Labour will tax it. Don’t let Andy Burnham fool you like Keir Starmer did. You’ll regret it after the election.

Grateful thanks to Joy Morrissey MP for asking these questions, although she never got a sensible answer @JoyMorrissey. Social mobility has plummeted under Labour.
I finally got a reply from Bridget Phillipson’s team to my many questions about her new Labour Class War unit and the abolition of the Social Mobility Commission. It took them 6 weeks to give me the same reply to every question, no matter the content. Take a look at the one below on costs which basically says in not mentioning costs at all - ā€œwe haven’t got a clue.ā€ It is now painfully clear. The Government has announced something with no idea of the costs, how they will implement it or the impact it will have. Utterly hopeless way to govern. Bridget wrecked our education system by putting ideology before evidence in every decision she took. She’s doing exactly the same in Women and Equalities.

Just say no, unlike the Church of England which was in the vanguard for the abolition of the slave trade in the 19th Century, together with the Royal Navy, and has nothing to apologise or pay reparations for @churchofengland @ArchbishopSarah
I fear that this tour may toxify relations between Britain and the West Indies for years, lead to the end of the monarchies in those realms, and threaten the survival of the Commonwealth - I am not sure this is in the interests of the Caribbean states themselves but…

Has the Defence Secretary told the Defence Secretary this? Because I’m pretty sure he’d be horrified to discover he was cutting defence programmes and training days while simultaneously expecting a war within 1000 days.
