Charles Martin: Labour’s backtrack on their manifesto pledges shows exactly what is wrong with British politics newshubgroup.co.uk/opinion/charle…
Let’s be clear: @Keir_Starmer hasn’t lost control of his party — he never had it. Labour’s new MPs are acting like protesters, not parliamentarians. My latest for @PolitlcsUK on how activist politics has wrecked Starmer’s first year in power: politicsuk.com/starmers-backb…
Great to be with the @UK_CCF and @HuddlestonNigel in St James’s last week.
Please tag your MP and ask them to sign 👇 Victims and survivors of grooming gangs must be put at the heart of the national inquiry, or it risks losing their trust entirely. These 3 principles are a starting point every MP should agree with. Victims and survivors first.

An amazing day for the Conservatives as we announce our fundraising figures for q1 this year. Well over £3m! Twice what Reform raised. It shows one thing - the smart money is backing Kemi. Come and join us!
At an NFU (National Farmers' Union) meeting to hear the concerns of farmers with Shadow Farming Minister @_RobbieMoore and @David__Reed.
Yes, Susanna - I’m the problem here… As you’re so concerned, I trust you got your co-presenter, the Home Secretary’s husband, to raise it with her?
The Shadow Justice Secretary @RobertJenrick didn’t report to Police the passenger he says claimed to have a knife, because he “didn’t want to make it all about me” - in the video in which he tackles multiple anonymous fare-dodgers.
It is crucial that Kemi Badenoch’s plan is not hindered by another shift in the Conservative Party’s leadership. My piece in @ConHome 👇
