My letter to the Foreign Secretary on the latest developments in the Gaza conflict – including the status of talks in Doha, the hostages, the humanitarian situation and efforts to find a sustainable end to this terrible conflict.


Only Angela Rayner and her left wing union mates would back such terrible polices. Why should taxpayers put up with this ridiculous left wing nonsense and pay for part time councils? Labour stand for pure socialism. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
Labour fails to understand that buying off the unions once will only send them back for more. Every time Labour negotiates, Britain loses. British taxpayers are paying the price of Labour’s failures….
Don’t let Wes Streeting gaslight you. He caved, gave out a 28% payrise, and now the unions are coming back for more. Labour negotiated. Britain lost.
Fantastic to be at @tiptree for @AmbJapanUK visiting to see the production of the very best jams and food. It was great to discuss the enduring ties between our countries and how we can export more to Japan 🇬🇧🇯🇵

Labour is ruining our great City & our wonderful Country. They are ideologically reckless, self-absorbed and don’t care about the hardworking silent majority across Britain. Starmer, Khan, Rayner,Reeves keep increasing your taxes and are unfit to govern. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
Britain under Labour. UK vehicle making hits lowest level since 1953, excluding Covid. Socialism in action. bbc.com/news/articles/…
"This decision is mad. "The ICJ has lost its core purpose and is now joining political campaigns and bandwagons based upon ideological obsessions on issues such as reparations and destroying the sovereign rights of national governments. "The Labour government is equally…
Britain under Labour: Unemployment up for the 9th month in a row. 800 businesses are closing every day on Labour’s watch. And yet they keep hammering business and putting up taxes…
Under Labour, 800 businesses close every day. Once their (un)employment Rights Bill passes, just imagine what that number will be. Britain can’t afford Labour.
Work brings dignity. But Labour’s new Employment Rights Bill creates UNemployment. When you load £5 billion in new costs onto employers, you destroy opportunity.
Buried in the DFT Annual Accounts published today Labour admit they will be writing off £250m of taxpayers’ money due to their decision to cancel the A12 Widening Scheme and the A47 dualling scheme. They’ve literally thrown taxpayers’ money down the drain with their choice to…

When Labour negotiates, Britain loses. Another example of Starmer’s complete ineptitude and zero understanding of British business. Starmer’s US trade deal ‘has no benefits’ for dairy producers, - only more costs.. warns Long Clawson boss👇 telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…
Keir Starmer has made Britain a rule taker from Brussels & British taxpayers will now pay into the EU Budget. Labour does not stand up for Britain on the world stage. They give away our money to foreign countries & allow them to make decisions about us. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
Keir Starmer just lies….
You can't trust a word this man says.
Britain under Labour: Unemployment up for the 9th month in a row. Inflation up to 3.6 per cent in the 12 months to June 2025. Economic growth is falling. 800 businesses are closing every day on Labour’s watch. And yet they putting our taxes up…. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…
Let's see how Keir Starmer's promise to protect jobs at Jaguar Land Rover is going. Oh...
Last month, I promised workers at Jaguar Land Rover that I would protect their jobs. I kept that promise.
Jaguar Land Rover has today announced the loss of 500 jobs.
Last month, I promised workers at Jaguar Land Rover that I would protect their jobs. I kept that promise.
Life under Labour is getting harder and more expensive for everyone.
UK Inflation is up again to 3.6% - the highest in the G7. The Conservatives left inflation at the target 2%. Under Labour life is getting harder and more expensive. They are making everything worse. And tax rises are coming this autumn.
David Lammy is introducing legislation today to enact Labour's Chagos Surrender Deal. It’s a £30 billion tax on British taxpayers. Working people across Britain will pay the government of Mauritius to give them British territory, and deliver tax cuts to the people of Mauritius.…

By next year, it’ll be possible to earn more on sickness benefits than working full-time on minimum wage. This has to stop. Only @Conservatives have the courage to deal with this. I’ll share more at lunchtime. Don’t miss it.
Here are my comments on BBC Essex this morning, explaining the impact that the appalling decision to cancel the A12 Widening Scheme will have on our County, the poor choices made by this dreadful Labour Government, and the serious questions they now need to answer.
