Well done guys. Great work 👏

Coming today - Season Four: Truss.

It was an honour to speak to the brilliant women business leaders at CMI

Labour’s New Deal for Working People will empower women so they can thrive from their very first day on the job.

Labour will take action to protect interns from sexual harassment at work.

Despite his disastrous election results, the PM continues to insist that ‘his plan is working’. Fingers in his ears, it’s as if there’s no cost of living crisis, or that waiting lists aren’t sky high.

Whilst the country wants change, the PM offers more of the same - losing.

Aside from the fact that she is, I suspect, currently capitulating to likes of Christopher Chope to protect MPs who might have been arrested for sexual crimes in the hope he votes for her in the coming leadership, yeah she's all about centre politics.

Natalie Elphicke has put out a statement apologising about the comments she made about her husband’s victims. Am told this is what she said privately to Starmer when asked about it, but the backlash on Labour benches has clearly led to leadership wanting to make this public

While understanding the surprise (it was unexpected!) at Natalie Elphicke’s defection, I’m bemused by the shock, in some quarters, that Keir Starmer welcomed her.

No, not because Sir Keir is a “Red Tory” or a “short-term opportunist”.

His grand strategy explains it.

A 🧵/1.

Labour lead at *30 points* in this week's YouGov poll for The Times

That's the biggest Labour lead since Truss

CON 18 (=)
LAB 48 (+4)
LIB DEM 9 (-1)
REF UK 13 (-2)
GRN 7 (-1)

Fieldwork 7 - 8 May

FACT CHECK
Rishi Sunak #PMQs keeps saying ‘everyone in work’ or the 'average worker' will receive £900 tax cut

HE'S WRONG
IFS says all tax changes mean the average worker will be £340 better off in 2024/25
BUT those earning below £26,000 (half of all employees) will be WORSE…

🚨 NEW: Labour's lead is now at 30 points - the biggest yet since Liz Truss

LAB 48 (+4)
CON: 18 (=)
REF UK 13 (-2)
LIB DEM 9 (-1)
GRN 7 (-1)

Fieldwork 7 - 8 May

So…sod the Local Development Plan then? 🤪 A competent minister with sound constitutional principles would have held back on this, stating that a future incoming government of a different party *may* take a different view to this.

It's time for Rishi Sunak to call a general election and give the British public the chance to vote for the change they deserve.

14 years, five seasons. One chance to stop a sixth.

Chaos and Decline.

Exclusive to Conflix.

An Israeli offensive in Rafah will be catastrophic. The world has warned against it.

I asked Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP: what will the consequences be?

He didn’t have an answer.
