Will the Spending Review set out clearly the huge losses of the nationalised HS 2, the railways, Post Office, Bank of England and steel industry? When will it announce plans to cut these losses and improve the management of these state controlled concerns?

Too many politicians treat the world like a student union. Abstract, simplistic and completely disconnected from reality. The world is not a debating club. It is a dangerous place where power matters, where democracy is fragile and where enemies don’t play by the rules. That’s

Maternity safety was a priority for me as SoS, progress was made (perinatal mortality rates came down by ~15%) but I wish change had been faster. The announcements made by Wes Streeting today have clearly been very carefully thought through and have my full support.

Amazed some MPs fail to see the serious harm done in taking an RAF aircraft out of service. If they really have so little regard for the security of the UK maybe this will help them think a bit harder. That same service, along with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and the Royal

Remember the Education Secretary called me a liar for highlighting these concerns 🙃

Until Covid, we were getting people off welfare and into work. Covid broke the sytem and all the while, Labour demanded we spend even more money. Thank goodness we were in charge, Labour would have bankrupted the country as will their new welfare bill. We're voting NO!

Damian Low Inflation is up from this time last year. The economy is growing slower than this time last year. And the UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 this time last year. What has the Government done?

I am deeply saddened to hear that Norman Tebbit has died. My predecessor in Chingford, my mentor and friend, Norman epitomised all that became to be known as Thatcherism and was critical to the success of the Thatcher Government in the 1980s. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… He had a

New data out this morning from Institute of Directors survey showing business confidence at its lowest level in the history of the survey. Labour have spent the last year attacking private enterprise with the zeal of a left-wing student union so it’s no surprise IOD members have

The government is always blaming the wholesale price of gas for high energy bills without ever explaining that wholesale prices are only one factor in final prices. Green levies, guaranteed minimum prices, the cost of subsidies for renewables and financing Grid upgrades all have

This is irresponsible of Farage. All the evidence is that paracetamol is safe for pregnant women. The advice is here: gov.uk/government/new…

🚨BREAKING: Conservatives reveal evidence that shows Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney tried to cover up Labour Together's slush fund. McSweeney was warned TWICE by the electoral watchdog that he must declare donations. Stop the cover-up. We need a full investigation.

The harm smartphones do to children is clear & teachers want us to act. I’ve written to Ofsted urging them to treat phone use in schools as what it is, a safeguarding concern.

Yet more evidence that Starmer is not telling the truth about the collasped China spy case. 👇 The Labour government’s excuse for collapsing this trial - the most significant breach of parliamentary security in decades - does not hold water. 1) The Crown Prosecution Service was

it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week. Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined. Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen. The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.

I’ve got one! Would axing the Carbon Tax on electricity generation lower the cost we pay for gas, wind, solar and nuclear and would that benefit consumers?

The flowers of Remembrance. Hour after hour an unceasing pilgrimage of bereaved mothers, wives, daughters, and sweethearts lay floral offerings on the Cenotaph. Armistice Day, 1920.

The (Un)Employment Rights Bill is Labour’s most damaging measure yet. But the OBR, despite saying they would, have failed to take it into account in their forecasts today. This calls their independence into doubt, and means any of Reeves' headroom is immediately impaired.

It is astonishing to hear the Chancellor and Labour MPs telling businesses that they have cut business rates. No they haven't. Most businesses, including swathes of the retail, hospitality & leisure sectors will see significant increases next year. #polmids BBC Politics
