We’re being led by horrific, spiteful morons. Labour has announced that, from April 2027, interest on cash in Stocks and Shares ISAs will be taxed at 22%, and under-65s will only be able to put £12,000 a year in a cash Isa, down from £20,000.

@DrSusanDenim Anybody who feels they have to post their degrees on X is obviously an idiot.

Badenoch has no style, class or compassion.
It'll not be long until the Tories mk1 kick her out too.

@LindaPears87262 If he had any integrity he would not have appointed Mandelson.

Keir Starmer to remain an MP for the duration of this parliament. Respecting the constituency that voted for him.
That's duty & integrity.

@annaturley @bphillipsonMP Envy of a spiteful, vindictive women like Phillipson? You must be joking.
English
Kemi Badenoch showed her true character at PMQs today. Classless, vicious & vindictive towards the brilliant @bphillipsonMP . What is it about this clever, decent brilliant women bringing opportunity to children of all backgrounds that Kemi hates so much? Envy is a terrible thing
English
@implausibleblog You stupid man. It’s her job to attack the government and the departure of a weak and incompetent prime minister is no reason to stop.
English
The chamber erupts in comotion after Ed Davey scolds Kemi Badenoch for her nonchalant attacks on Keir Starmer,
"Can I also recognise how difficult it was for the Prime Minister to make his resignation statement on Monday"
"It's an important reminder that while we debate issues robustly in this house that we are all human"
"And it's something that everyone should remember"

@MFIJake @sharrond62 @bphillipsonMP @christopherhope There never was VAT on private education before this government came into power. We are now the only developed country that taxes. education. Shameful
English
@sharrond62 @bphillipsonMP @christopherhope If you can't afford to pay your taxes you can't afford to send your kids to private zchool. Too posh to pay VAT isn't a good look.
English
Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too.
It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer.
I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.
Bridget Phillipson@bphillipsonMP
The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.
English
@sharrond62 @ibiza2222 @bphillipsonMP @christopherhope @bphillipsonMP is indeed a disgusting individual.
English
What you did was cruel & vindictive. For what? Most private schools opened up their facilities to local, often rural, often lacking, communities. Those have gone along with all the jobs lost & the friends of those turfed out of their schools because normal families could no longer afford the increased fees.

@King0243_PJC Bollocks. This was the spiteful individual who made us the only developed country taxing education.

@GMontgomeryTG @VividProwess So. Yiu support Hezbollah. Interesting.

What about Israel’s massive arsenal of weapons, bombs and nukes / predictable propaganda from a Cheerleader of the rogue terrorist State of Israel 🇮🇱 trying to justify the ongoing and illegal invasion of and massacre of innocent civilians under the cloak of self defence. It’s not self defence if you are the aggressor and illegal occupier.

@Mariehaley13131 @LucyMPowell @Keir_Starmer Ah. The noisome individual who called the Pakistani rape gang crisis a ‘dog whistle issue’.
English
I feel so angry with myself for voting @LucyMPowell as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party!
All this time, she and her cabal, plotting against @Keir_Starmer
She promised unity! What a hypocrite!
English
@DavidLammy You are the most stupid individual ever to hold one of the great offices of state. As leader of the opposition it’s her job to attack the government and its policies.
English
Kemi Badenoch’s attack on Bridget Phillipson at PMQs today lays bare something deeper about the direction of their politics.
I’m proud that this Labour government has the most state-schooled Cabinet in the post-war era - people who didn’t grow up with privilege, but earned their place through hard work.
That’s the difference between us and them.
This Labour government believes background should never be a barrier to opportunity. Social mobility isn’t a slogan - it’s the whole point of a fair society. And yet too often it feels like there are those who want to sneer at it, undermine it, and drag us backwards.
We should be celebrating opportunity, not trying to hold it back.
English
I've written to Sir Keir Starmer to thank him for his leadership, service and dedication to our country.
Thank you, Keir, and best wishes for the future. #Labour

@davidbirkettsnp The SNP is riddled with corruption. nytimes.com/2026/06/23/wor…

Honestly this has been the highlight of my day, watching all the butt hurt because our new MP stuck proudly to her principles as a Scottish Nationalist!
Funny thing is, I bet Chazza III doesn't even know or care.
Keep frothing at the mouth folks!

Today, I was officially sworn in at Parliament. I took this Oath in order to serve the people of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry - and declared that my loyalty will always be to the people of Scotland. It is a privilege to serve and represent our communities as your Member of Parliament.
English
@bphillipsonMP A nasty, spiteful, class-ridden piece of legislation which tells you all you need to know about this lying, disgusting and incompetent individual and her party.
English
Commentators, columnists and opposition politicians were apocalyptic with claims that ending private schools' tax breaks would overwhelm the state sector.
The data shows those predictions were wrong.

@LiviaAugusta10 @TheHillFool This is the disgusting woman who called the Pakistani rape gang scandal a ‘dog whistle issue’.
English
@TheHillFool A politician who won't listen to or engage with the voting public or even members of their own party isn't much use to anyone, are they?
English
What is this utter nonsense from Lucy Powell keeping her replies turned off? It’s cowardly and profoundly disrespectful. Like she really doesn’t give a shit.
English
Man of honour and principles. Don’t listen to the retarded. He’s made a few mistakes but this country is better off than it was two years ago.

@EdwardJDavey How much did you get from the post office scandal?. Disgusting man

English
Really, @tom_watson?
Upon Lord Brittan’s death, you described him as “close to evil as any human being could get” - words used by Carl Beech when he met you!
You also refuse to apologise to me for your role in amplifying Beech’s false, heinous allegations.
That is insensitive.
Tom Watson@tom_watson
This is appallingly insensitive.

24 years in the military and never seen someone bomb this badly.
