A cruel betrayal from @unitetheunion to suspend Angela Rayner after all of her hard work to crush growth with the Employment Rights Bill. She’s dropping recognition thresholds, shortening strike notice periods, and taking us back to the 1970s. This is how they thank her?
If @RobertJenrick isn't given one of the top jobs in Kemi Badenoch's shadow cabinet there really isn't any point to this reshuffle.
Significant that a diehard Tory newspaper like the Mail is giving Reform its frontpage
Britain is on the edge of chaos if we don’t get tough on law and order.
I didn't hear anything from this caller that justified fhe normally reasonable @IainDale likening her to a "dinosaur". Not respecting those who want Britain to be Britain - not eg Afghanistan (with or without the Taliban in charge) - is one reason why so many poiirical…
“They bring their Afghan ways with them.” “You’re a complete dinosaur, I’m afraid.” @IainDale hangs up on caller Liz who claims her grandchildren will be “a minority in their own country” if the UK provides a place of refuge for Afghan families after the data leak.
This. 100%. I'm 55 next week and both of my lovely and wise parents are still alive and at the centre of so much extended family and community life. I'm thankful to God for this richest of blessings. I'm certainly not grateful to the modern state. It does worse than nothing to…
consider yourself very lucky to get these calls
We should immediately install Ben Stokes as Supreme Governor of the UK. Extraordinary leader. 😂🏏
Reform’s DOGE team has released its first set of findings to the Daily Mail. We’ve exposed that taxpayer money has been spent on: 1) Taking asylum seekers everywhere from safari parks to the circus 2) hundreds of thousands of pounds on fast food including Dominos, McDonalds,…
From mass immigration to expensive energy to welfarism the Greens are the enemy of the working class

Unite's decision to suspend Angela Rayner from membership is almost certainly unlawful. Sections 64 and 65 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 prohibit unions from taking punitive action against members for refusing to support industrial action.
ABOLISH THE BISHOPS!
Astonishing. 22 bishops voted against a groundbreaking proposal to redirect a mere 1% of the Church Commissioners enormous wealth to fund impoverished parishes and bankrupt dioceses. Now they will need to return to their dioceses and demand parish shares go up. Shame on them.
This was an extraordinary interview. Sisterly unlove.
“She certainly was a member of unite when she had her hand out for money at the election. And our last record show, she's still a member of unite.” Angela Rayner has acted in a “despicable way”, says @UniteSharon as Unite members vote to remove the deputy PM’s membership.
I don't watch tv much anymore but on the occasions I do surf through the tv guide it's notable how @Channel4 is basically a terrestial pornhub. What happened @iankatz1000?
You have my vote Gawain. Good luck!
Just some personal admin. The nomination process for the Board of @reformparty_uk has been launched. I will be standing for the board, as somebody who has worked long and hard for the cause and as an ordinary member I hold the interests of the membership to be paramount.
This is Streeting’s best idea yet. Unions are awfully quiet about the fact that public sector employer pension contributions are triple those in the private sector. We should ask doctors to decide if they want higher pay now at the expense of a gold-plated pension in future.
‘Kemi Badenoch needs to come forward and explain why they failed so comprehensively.’ Founder of ConservativeHome @montie tells @AndrewMarr9 who he thinks could replace the Tory leader.
As I was saying (x.com/bbcnewsnight/s…... and on @notanother1pod), the 'centre' is collapsing. For most voters Starmerism is basically the same as Sunakism and they don't like either
10 council by-elections last night. Labour and the Conservatives won NONE OF THEM. Future historians will possibly put 2025 as the mid point of both major parties collapsing - something which starts with the European elections of 2019.
Has the PM had some kind of voice training? He's speaking more slowly, emphasising every sentence clause.
