It's weird how accustomed to this sort of thing we are. Sunak's exasperation here comes from a flat presumption that other people have simply no right to know when there's going to be an election or a tax rise and it's inherently petty and annoying of them to want to find out.

“If you listened to Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt you'd think the economy had turned a corner. That their plan is working. You’d think people had never had it so good.”

Spoke to Rachel Reeves ahead of Thursday's elections.

MPs suspended for misconduct get nothing if they step down and trigger a by-election.

If they cling on until the election, they get four months' wages AND double the level of statutory redundancy pay.

Dan Poulter was elected as a Conservative MP in 2010, was a Conservative councillor for years before that. Getting on for 20 years as an elected member of the party.

That's a pretty broad definition of 'opportunism'.

This morning I was absolutely delighted to welcome Dr Daniel Poulter MP to The Labour Party.

Dan knows that a Labour government led by ⁦Keir Starmer⁩ will focus on preventative care, child health and the social causes of poor health.

Vote Labour on 2nd May 🌹 theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
