Labour are toast in the local elections. But what if android Starmer goes and his successor is 😱 My column: Prime minister Angela Rayner would be a new low for Britain telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/2…

It’s scandalous that six MILLION workers earn LESS than many jobless claimants. thesun.co.uk/news/38957947/… Over six million workers now get less in post-tax wages than many jobless claimants, with claimants telling The Sun they now see no point at all in ­taking a job, given the

We might expect this from a student union activist but from the Secretary of State for Energy it’s profoundly disturbing. And where is the Business Secretary’s voice slapping him down? Miliband in any case misunderstands trading profits which are global and are separate from

This guff doesn't even work on its own terms... 🙄 BP’s increased profits from global oil and gas trading are not subject to the UK windfall tax. The Energy Profits Levy applies only to BP's profits from UK oil and gas extraction, thus penalising domestic production. Mad.

Interesting that Ed Miliband deleted his tweet about it being immoral for oil companies to "profit from the crisis" Like the rest of this The Labour Party government, he wants the private sector to put capital at risk, for it to swallow any losses that arise, but to tax into oblivion

The biggest profiteer from energy price rises is the Government and Treasury. Axe the green taxes on bills and cut VAT if you want to help working people.

UK 30 year gilt yield approaching 6%. That is not a good thing. Liz Truss only managed a brief 5%

Gilt market smells Labour moving further left. More welfare spend, more net zero, lower economic activity, anti business. No idea why media not picking this up. This is worse than Truss !

Labour are raising tax on businesses and employers NI to pay for the ballooning welfare bill All it’s resulting in is job losses - more people now having to turn to welfare and the bill rising further It’s a doom loop that will destroy the British economy

Well done The Labour Party and Rachel Reeves Has the penny dropped yet that business and the private sector drives economic growth... Clobber them and you clobber the economy You have managed to increase both taxes and borrowing to record levels and for what?? A nation on benefits

Excruciating to see what Zack Polanski has done to the Green Party. And what its original, pre-takeover members have allowed him to turn into. It’s unbearably disappointing to see almost all Green MPs, Peers and former leaders either turning a blind eye or, worse, trying to make

‘Dreadful’ Reeves destroying economy, says billionaire Labour donor telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

Landlords are bailing out. New research shows that some 254,000 buy-to-let properties in Britain came on to the market in the year to the end of March. That's 700 a day & it's an increase of 28% over 2024. Taxing & regulating landlords out of the market will result in tenants

The politics of a country in decline. Not a single word about wealth creation, without which none of this nonsense can be financed. It’s deeply pathetic. If people fall for this left-wing populist drivel we’ve ceased to be a serious country.

Labour’s dumb Renters Rights Act is doing for tenants and housing what their awful Employment Rights Act has done for jobs and businesses. A total disaster. Not easy to see what will be left of the economy in 3 years time.

Leftists don’t understand the (very simple) concept of trade-offs. If you hike VAT on private schools, kids leave private schools and place more pressure on the state. If you implement rent controls, you reduce the supply and quality of housing. And if you increase the minimum

Labour cannot call this financial crisis an ‘international’ one. 🥀

BREAKING: The UK's 30Y Government Bond Yield surges to 5.79%, the highest level since May 1998. Inflation is back and interest rates are surging.

US bond yields off 0.015% UK bond yields up 0.125%, FTSE 100 off 1.5% European equities up 1.5%. What you are seeing is the re-pricing of risk for the Rayner regime.
