As MPs head off for recess - allies of the Prime Minister have just started ‘Operation Save Starmer’ …. but he is such a busted flush that the only people who really want to save him are his political opponents! Unfortunately the country can’t afford another 4 years of him as PM

As MPs head off for summer recess, allies of the embattled Prime Minister have launched ‘Operation Save Starmer’ - but no amount of relaunches or reshuffles can save this weak, belief-free lame duck 👇 express.co.uk/comment/expres…

In a strong field of dodging answering questions, @bphillipsonMP may have just given the worst one yet. I asked could she tell the house how much the increase in employer National Insurance will cost schools in total over this Parliament? Lord knows what she was talking about.

Now Starmer has haemorrhaged votes from pensioners and working age people, from farmers to the self employed, he‘s giving votes to 16yr olds to try & cling to power. Electoral desperation.

Here’s my Qu to the Chancellor asking her if she believes the changes she made to employers NIC will lead to higher levels of employment or higher levels of unemployment. She gave a deeply deluded answer. Figures out today show unemployment is at a 4yr high after her NIC raid.

Kier is about to oversee the biggest betrayal of our veterans & deliver the ultimate 2 tier Keir justice- the prosecution of veterans & the compensation of terrorists. He needs to halt this lunacy now & get rid of his Attorney General Lord Hermer who’s advising him on this

Doctors are back with their hands out demanding more money &because they know Starmer is weak,they’ve given him an ultimatum: if they don’t get what they want within 2 weeks they will be out on strike July 25-30 Drs & the militant BMA have lost the plot express.co.uk/news/uk/208174…

It has become common place for Labour Ministers to not even try to answer the questions put to them - and Starmer sets the tone by being one of the worst for it every week. So today I raised Ed Miliband’s non-answer to my question on net zero with the Deputy Speaker…..

What a disgrace. Ed Miliband came to the House to do a Statement about how vital it was to get to net zero- but when I asked him 3 simple questions, the cost, who’s paying for it & if the UK got to net zero how much it would reduce global temperatures, he couldn’t answer.

A survey by the @fsb_policy shows more small businesses expect to downsize or shut up shop than grow over the next 12 months - the worst outlook in 17 years. Small businesses are the lifeblood of this country and Reeves & Co are killing them off. Labour’s destroying the country

What a bunch of buffoons! Labour’s so desperate to hit its bonkers net zero targets that next week it will announce £700m of taxpayers money to subsidise the purchase of electric cars! To help pay for it Labour’s introducing a farm tax to collect £500m destroying British farming

I asked the Minister the savings made from the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion changes I brought in & if he’d be overturning them. He couldn’t give a figure for the savings - let me help him, it’s many millions - but he did confirm he wouldn’t be reversing what I introduced.

The words ‘illegal’ and ‘irregular’ are not the same & are not interchangeable as Starmer & Macron would try & have us believe. Those landing on our shore from Calais via boats are illegal migrants @TalkTV

Farewell Norman - my political hero & the only person I knew who could do 3D trigonometry in his head! 29 March 1931 - 8 July 2025

Dizzying U-turns have made Labour MPs unwilling to support Starmer - they are the ultimate morale sapper for backbenchers. Defending the unpopular Winter Fuel Policy only to then see the govt back down & apologise has made them unwilling to do it again. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Dysfunctional is the word that best describes this Labour government, and Rachel Reeves’ tears last week exposed the pent-up tensions within what is now an ungovernable party. 👇 express.co.uk/news/politics/…

It is pretty clear this Labour government has a vendetta against pensioners. A letter from Treasury rejecting exempting the state pension from income tax is basically a stealth tax on pensions and the latest kick in the teeth to pensioners.👇 express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Another day, another rebellion & what will inevitably turn out to be another embarrassing retreat by Starmer. Today’s revolt by his backbenchers is on special needs support in schools. Starmer is a lame duck Prime Minister, squatting in Number 10, and taken prisoner by his MPs.

It’s official - the PM believes Rachel Reeves is “going nowhere” … I think we can all see that!

Only a year in office and Starmer has already lost authority & control of his backbenchers. He was never a leader …. 👇
