East/West Rail was meant to be crucial to economic growth, the Ox/Cam corridor + innovation etc. But it’s got the wrong trains, the wrong platforms and is costing £1m for security at one (unused) station alone. It deserves a Robert Colvile column: railnews.mobi/news/2026/02/1…

A very good question

Rachel Reeves continues to work her magic: Job vacancies in Britain fall to their lowest level in five years as businesses freeze graduate recruitment amid rising national insurance and other labour costs.  The number of advertised roles dropped to under 700,000 in January, down

Martin Lewis Good Morning Britain Hi Martin Lewis, thank you. I really appreciate that, and honestly, don’t worry. I do love a feisty debate! It helps people understand what the real issues are. You and I agree on the principle: student loans have become a scam. It took me eight years to pay mine off. I made

Mandelson's arrest is the defining moment of Keir Starmer's premiership. It wasn't long ago the PM looked me in the eye at PMQs and said he had 'full confidence' in Mandelson. Time to release the Mandelson files in full. We must know who knew what and when. No more delays.

When Post Office minister Sir Ed Davey shockingly rejected a meeting with Mr Bates who was fighting a lone battle for sub- postmasters. Now it’s revealed he backed the appointment of Andrew as Trade Envoy back in 2011. Such a loser. Must feel quite at home with the Lib Dems.

How are these people in charge?

Principal Skinner speaks out on Iran. Turns out he has nothing significant to say. Irrelevant bystander.

Royal Navy & RFA status update.

Sums it up…

“The stupidity of that decision allowing international lawyers of a dubious provenance to determine the national interest of the United Kingdom is a disaster for transatlantic relations.” The special relationship has reached a new low, says @AfNeil.

I don’t think the average Brit realises that this year we are spending the equivalent of the entire NASA budget on benefits uplifts alone…

Uncle Albert has been deployed 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

The lack of UK defence preparedness is now a national scandal. We have five nuclear-powered Astute class subs (different from our subs armed with Trident nuke deterrent). A sixth is in trials. They cost us £1.65billion a click. Four have been in refit/maintenance/dry dock for a

🚨 At this evening’s Westminster Hall iftar, Keir Starmer proudly tells “the Muslim community” that Britain played no role in the offensive against the Iranian regime — which left RAF Akrotiri exposed. The Muslim Vote is lost but Labour still keeps going. 🧵1/

2/ Surprise, surprise — with racist Palestinian Ambassador Husam Zomlot, as “Allahu Akbar” blares out.

🔴 KEIR STARMER TO MUSLIMS: - "You are the face of modern Britain" Standing in Westminster Hall, a place of British history for hundreds of years And our Prime Minister is standing there saying 'Ramadan Mubarak' Nobody asked for this Utter disgrace 😡

Labour - the party of welfare
