The UK is so very lucky to have a thoroughly decent calm, serious hardworking PM who is respected domestically and has the gravitas required on the international stage. Every day more and more people are becoming informed and realising how fab our @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour are.

@bphillipsonMP And exactly how much of the ‘tax’ has been spent on education?? You are a clueless buffoon like the rest of your party! All that’s happening is schools closing and those pupils are now adding to the pressure on state schools where you will find teachers are leaving in droves! 🤡

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.

@MCJPeel @ToryFibs Because he’s an educated literate individual, you’ll find a lot of Tories and actually politicians from both sides of the house counted him as a friend.

@ToryFibs Why is Jacob Rees Mogg still granted a platform on TV? He lost his seat years ago, isn't missed by any Tory MP and made no significant contribution to politics for all the time he was in government to act like he's such a profound voice of wisdom He's a nobody, pure and simple

@MCJPeel And you are like most ‘socialists’ a complete muppet! Liebour is hell bent on destroying farming, the rural economy and anyone else who works for a living, when you’ve grown up, paid taxes and done a real job, instead of commenting total 🐂 💩 then you can comment!

In a 2021 interview with The Times, Jeremy Clarkson said avoiding inheritance tax was “the critical thing” in his decision to buy a farm He doesn't give a damn about farmers, he's just a tax dodger with a history of punching producers when he's hungry #BritainsGotTalent #BGT

Conflict in the Middle East has once again shown that clean power is essential for energy security. That’s why we’re speeding up action, with solar panels to be fitted as standard on new homes and plug-in solar to be made available in shops within months. lbc.co.uk/article/miliba…

@rosie_wrighting By manipulating figures and enticing health trusts to cut lists by ‘alternative’ means!

Back on a train = rant of the day. So @EastMidRailway why for the second time in recent weeks can you not be bothered to activate the seat reservations in First Class! Fortunately we found alternative seats. But what’s the point. #firstworldproblems

Thanks to the choices we've made, we’ve seen six interest rate cuts and inflation is falling. We have the right economic plan to build a stronger and more secure economy, cutting the cost of living, cutting national debt and creating the conditions for growth.

Cobblers! How about actually consulting folks in the industry instead of making it up as you go along. Mr Minibrain is beholden to his paymasters, policy is flawed, written and devices by more clowns. Bills are going up not down, net zero isn’t possible if the country wishes to remain solvent.

@benhoobs @RachelReevesMP @AngelaRayner Not sure that’s going to help anyone! Both elevated to positions above their ability. Both bend rules to suit themselves. Both coated with Teflon (one more so than the other)

@raelbrav Basically, she didn’t get the top job, the 1922 committee would be foolish to look at any challenge on leadership this side of a GE, highly unlikely she will get a Shadow or Cabinet role so like Jenrick, Anderson and co all jump ship.

@raelbrav Perfect example of another yoyo political supporter, just like the rest of Reform. One minute you are in, the next out, then hold on your wife jumps ship and joins and you back in again. It’s like the Reform Hokey Cokey … in out, in out, shake it all about!

🚨Reform UK has warned it will pursue legal action against Kemi Badenoch unless she issues a public apology to Suella by 4pm tomorrow, following the Conservatives’ withdrawal of a reference to mental health.

@raelbrav Why? No different to the behaviours of Reform against Rupert Lowe. And interesting coming from someone who left Reform??

Memo to @KemiBadenoch and @GBNEWS You’ve not apologised to me for issuing a disgraceful statement which happens to also be entirely false. Under new leadership?!? The party hasn’t changed a bit. It’s exactly why I left.
GB News@GBNEWS

'It should not have been said at all! Those are not the sort of things that represent the values of my party.' Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch apologises for a party statement which made reference to Suella Braverman's mental health following her defection to Reform UK.

@SuellaBraverman @Conservatives Oh grow up! This is why politics in the UK is so ridiculous! It’s like a bunch of five year olds in the playground. Don’t forget not so long ago Reform Ltd used similar tactics against Rupert Lowe!

Very disappointing that it has come to this. A false and defamatory statement has been made by the @Conservatives about me. No private or public apology has been made to me. And there has been no acceptance that it was false. Disgusting behaviour by a once great party.
Telegraph Politics@TelePolitics

🔷 Reform wants public apology by Friday after accusing Tories of ‘ethically corrosive’ behaviour which ‘trivialises genuine mental illness’. Read the full story ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…
