So was Starmer also "mistakenly involved" in clearing Nandy from breaching the rules appointing Starmer's (and Nandy's) own donor as the chair of the "independent" football regulator? Couldn't make it up.

5% unemployment!! This is what happens when you whack up taxes on business. Sadly, these taxes were clearly planned before the election, but Labour weren’t honest with the public about them.

The UK is a leaky pipeline for investment. All this Government’s life sciences plan has achieved so far is drive more UK companies to take their investment and innovation abroad. U.K. science sector is ‘bleeding to death,’ lawmakers say in report | Science | AAAS

Today, we commemorate the signing of the Armistice, which brought an end to the First World War. We remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of peace.

Reeves has squeezed her fiscal headroom so much she’s now checking the drinks cabinet for spare change. With 98% of landlords saying Labour isn’t backing pubs, she should leave the spirits industry alone and freeze duty. lbc.co.uk/article/rachel…

In just 18 months, Labour destroyed their authority and abandoned their manifesto. They should spend more time governing than figuring out who to blame next for their own leadership failures. The public deserves better.

Hang on a minute... the PM has just exonerated Nandy for her conduct in the appointment of the same donor - David Kogan who gave Nandy AND Starmer money. How can this be allowed?

Starmer lost control of his MPs over the summer and has now lost control of "toxic" Downing Street. He admits he didn't authorise the damaging briefing. A Government in turmoil two weeks from the Budget and its hardworking families and businesses that will suffer.

First Labour MPs scuppered any chance of welfare cuts, now they’re demanding even more spending whilst our economy is flatlining. Spending money they don’t have is intrinsic to Labour’s way of governing, and it’s always inevitably hardworking families picking up the bill.

This Labour Government has failed to cut the ballooning welfare bill. Instead of incentivising growth or getting people back into work, they have taxed the very people who drive our economy - costing 180,000 jobs. No wonder the economy has flatlined to 0.1% growth. Reeves will

The public aren’t convinced that higher taxes will fix the NHS, and 50% say its performance has worsened. Clearly, neither is the Chancellor, who has now ditched her plans to raise income tax. Reeves still needs £30bn from somewhere, and this chaotic week has left Labour firmly

Interesting thread from Lord Bethell on reducing the risk of dementia and slowing the onset.

Labour’s plan to finish off the British seaside town:

Unemployment up. Benefit claims up. Yet fewer claimants job-seeking 🧐 Labour are presiding over a mass opt-out from work. Time for the Welfare Secretary to swallow his pride, and copy-and-paste my welfare policies 👉 telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/1…

The Home Secretary has no plan for failed asylum seekers who cannot be sent back home. She says she is "exploring possibilities" with other third countries but NOT Rwanda. Why not, when Rwanda is willing?

Why is the government hell-bent on destroying the British family holiday and our seaside towns?

UK taxpayer funded ‘impartial’ civil servants should not be posting Labour Party political content as their own. The so-called "Plan for Change" was not theirs but the failing policy of Labour politicians and strategists. Dangerous blurring of the lines here.

Looking forward to appearing on Question Time tonight, where we’ll no doubt be talking about some important issues around the forthcoming Budget and the Home Secretary’s immigration plans.

The Home Secretary’s immigration plans don’t say where her third country “return hubs” will be - for failed asylum seekers who cannot go back to their home country. She has ruled out talking to Rwanda (a country we know was willing) but won’t say who she is talking to. Until

Where has Andy Burnham gone? He bailed out from Question Time this evening where we discussed the Government's immigration plans. Does he support the Government or not?
