The IMF have downgraded their UK growth forecasts for this year AND next, and they say inflation is set to rise. Labour’s policies are killing growth and investment. This is how much the IMF have reduced their forecast even just compared to their January estimate👇🏻 (1/5) 🧵

Labour had a chance to admit they got it wrong. Instead, Keir Starmer told Bridget Phillipson to gaslight the Commons with a shameless rewrite of history — pretending Labour had always been on the side of women. Nobody bought it. They claimed the govt accepts the Supreme Court

BREATHTAKING mismanagement of the economy from the Chancellor. UK’s economic confidence now lower than during the crash, Covid or even the winter of discontent. It’s back to the 70’s with Labour and we are all paying the price. thetimes.com/article/8b2941…

Reckless destruction. Labour's Family Farm Tax puts ideology before our rural communities - and risks our food security. It didn’t need to happen. Labour chose it. Under @kemibadenoch, the @conservatives will stand with our agricultural sector - not sell them out.

This election matters. You’re voting for who collects your bins, fills your potholes and sets your council tax. Across the country, Conservative councillors get you better services for less tax. Vote Conservative 👇

We’re now spending over £100 billion a year just on debt interest – that's double the defence budget. The Conservatives had a clear plan to bring debt down. But Labour? They’ve changed the rules to hide rising debt - and it’s costing us billions more. Higher borrowing,

Further shocking evidence that the Chancellor is playing fast and loose with the public finances. She should have learned lessons after she was forced into an emergency budget in March. According to National Institute of Economic and Social Research, Rachel Reeves is once again teetering on the edge of breaking her own

Reform’s manifesto would spell financial ruin for the UK. They simply aren't a serious party of government. Their proposals on income tax cuts alone would cost about a third of the entire NHS budget...🧵(1/6) dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying bill is a disaster waiting to happen – especially for disabled people | Lord Harper (Mark Harper) independent.co.uk/voices/assiste…

🗣️Conservative peer Mark Harper fears the assisted dying bill could force some disabled people to think ‘it might be better if they weren’t here’ ‘It changes the founding principle of the NHS from a service that helps save lives to one that doesn’t’

Lord Harper (Mark Harper) makes a compelling in principle and in practice case against the assisted suicide Bill: it risks devaluing the lives of people with disabilities and the safeguards are simply not good enough.💯

Lord Harper (Mark Harper) on BBC Politics Live: We should be focused on helping people to live well, rather than making it easier to die through assisted suicide.💯

1/5 🇺🇦 For the first time, Ukraine has its stand at the International #Transport Forum 🌎 . Title: “Transport of Ukraine in 2025: Challenges and Achievements.” It’s more than a display – it’s a story of resilience, recovery, and bold projects shaping transport during wartime.

This drop is because of the visa rule changes that I put in place. Labour will try to claim credit for these figures but they criticised me at the time, and have failed to fully implement the changes. #immigration
