History denial, the go to position for socialists who can't say "£20billion black hole anymore". Tiresome
Andrew Neil and Matt Goodwin gasping at the size of national debt should remember how we got there. National debt reached £2.7 trillion at the end of period 2019 to 2024, the biggest debt of any parliament since World War II. Interest, not just spending, is increasing the deficit
The Tories should be scrutinising these contacts to find a way to walk away once back in power. It's essential to publicly state these will not be honoured
They can’t say they weren’t warned. In my entire time as Ed’s Shadow, I’ve never heard a Labour (or Lib Dem) MP ask HOW he is going to cut bills, they’ve only ever repeated the ‘renewables are cheap’ lie. No scrutiny, no attention to facts. Just blind parroting of lies despite…
Just wrong - he should be dismissed immediately. He really didn’t know what he was doing ? LBC host James O'Brien issues on-air apology after reading out antisemitic message about Jewish children - sparking raft of complaints to Ofcom | Daily Mail Online dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
It seems to me the political landscape is done. Labour are a disaster (with good intentions) and unlikely to get to 2029, a Corbyn led alternative will eviscerate them at the next election. The Tories are gone so they'll take over Reform and win by a mile next time around.
Here's a new move. We've moved on from the 'black hole' and it's gone up by a further £130bn in one year!
NB: Labour *are* fixing the social fabric of our society. Breaking: Fourteen years of neglect cannot be fixed in one year. An inherited national debt of *2.69 trillion pounds hasn't made the task for Labour any easier. *National debt figure source for 2024 provided by Statista.
Fabulous article but I'm sure it's too long for those who shout about genocide in Gaza to read. x.com/SpencerGuard/s…

What a wanker this lad is. Black players are the keys to the England men's team, Michelle is an amazingly talented footballer. Her colour only matters to wankers like John
That sound you can hear is the racists and misogynists choking on their own hate… Her name is Michelle Agyemang. And she is a Lioness.
Nope. We all know why Sunak threw the Tories under the bus and it wasn't that.
The more I think about it - the more convinced I am - Sunak knew exactly what he was doing when he called a snap GE. He surveyed the social & economic wasteland that the UK had descended into after 14 Tory yrs - panicked -then cut & ran. He did what Cameron did after Brexit.
Just tell the delivery companies you'll fine them £100,000 each time you find an illegal working for them. Employment controls are their business
We’re cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.
Kelvin shows himself for the metropolitan snob he is. Stick all the illegals in Bradford cos they're northern scumbags anyway. But please don't affect my skinny latte habit
What kind of advert is it for Canary Wharf - home to global financial behemoths like JP Morgan, Citigroup and HSBC- for a hotel to be filled with illegal migrants and surrounded by police and metal fencing? I imagine it will be the last time a banker wears their prize Patek…
Presumptuous little shit
. @UKLabour if you don't stop growing inequality you will lose the next election.
Nepo baby Dan Snow, brother-in-law of the Duke of Westminster, son of broadcast royalty Peter Snow (BBC) & Ann MacMillan (CBC), gt-gt-grandson of PM David Lloyd-George thinks it's "racist" to fear that immigration is fraying social cohesion Might I suggest his "lived experience"…
Genuine question. When do grown ups stop blaming their predecessors and start taking responsibility for the shit show they are creating? Graham will be talking about a £20billion black hole next!
A political Bermuda triangle? One year in and Labour are working hard to address a damaging 14 year legacy left by previous Tory government. Reform, now rapidly filling up with MP's from a previous Tory government, are blaming Labour for the problems caused by previous Tory govt.
BREAKING: The IDF just dropped a bombshell video from inside Gaza — Thousands of pallets of humanitarian aid just sitting there, untouched, waiting for the UN to pick them up. So why is the UN demanding more trucks? Why scream “famine” when they’re not…
By defining her as a black woman Fisher falls down the same sewer she should be telling people to avoid. She's talking about a sportswoman, an extraordinary talent. Who wants to be defined by her skills not by the fact she's black.
A dark skinned black woman is the saviour for England yet again and you can all shove that up your racist arseholes 🙃
This is such a sad statement from anybody who claims to have reason and balance. So sad. This country will be lost forever of people like this prevail
Anyone else get the impression that the Far Right are desperate for another summer of #FarageRiots ?
I joined my first band aged 14 inspired by this guy's amazing music. What a ride you've had Oz! RIP fella
Whilst the England's mens football team have learned how to loose magnificently our ladies seem to know how to win. Amazing edge of the seat stuff last night.
If anybody was ever stupid enough to give me the keys to No10 I'd stop buy-to-let mortgages and force lenders to foreclose on all the ones they have. That would free up a load of houses and collapse prices.
