@YouGov I wonder how much tax would be lost…… it’s a good job we don’t have a welfare bill higher than tax income right now… oh wait.

The Greens have proposed capping top wages in a company at 10x the level of the lowest wages - a move that 65% of Britons would support Strongly support: 41% Somewhat support: 24% Somewhat oppose: 10% Strongly oppose: 7%

@PolitlcsUK The journalist told number 10 last year…….

🚨 BREAKING: No 10 has published an email of Keir Starmer's meeting readout on Tuesday night when he was told Peter Mandelson failed vetting They have also published a template of a UK Security Vetting (UKSV) decision - officials ticked the red boxes

@PolitlcsUK All that top tier talent will simply take their services overseas. Then who pays the majority of the tax… especially when going on welfare will be made so attractive and the bill will be so big.

🚨 NEW: 65% of Brits support the Green Party's policy of capping CEO pay at ten times the pay of the lowest paid employee

@Ferretgrove If he stays it will be decades before Labour are ever trusted again.

If Labour MPs decide that it’s time for Starmer to go, they will be do so in full knowledge that it would put Labour on the opposition benches before 2029 and condemn the nation to years of dangerous right wing coalition for the next parliamentary term, possibly two. Buyer beware

@bottomley50 Said only a handful of lefties ever…..

Boris Johnson will go down as the worse PM ever and Keir Starmer will go down as one of the best.

@Keir_Starmer @DefenceHQ Your statement should have ended after the first sentence. To then link it to other work you are doing doesn’t reflect well imho.

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened. This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes. Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation. We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.

@coo15257_cook @HJB_News__ @billfromthetoon My point stands. It’s not legal here so how can the government hand money to anyone who is carrying out an illegal activity.

In the UK the DWP is handing out more than £6,000 to second wives and third wives as part of benefits given to people in polygamous marriages - and the amount is being increased from April.  The DWP has confirmed in its benefits uprating list for 2025-26 that ‘additional spouses’ in ‘polygamous marriages’ are being given a 4.8% boost to their benefits from April.

@Charl_H79 Anybody

@TheGriftReport It’s called uncovering the truth….

Greens leader Zack Polanski has launched a bizarre attack on the BBC for “exposing lies” migrants are telling to get asylum claims approved. The party slammed the corporation for its reporting on people faking being gay, domestic abuse victims or bogus medical conditions, and for giving the story prominent multi-day coverage. A Greens spokesman said the BBC had failed to put it “in context” and was worsening the “hostile environment” facing genuine asylum seekers. Zack’s team claimed the reporting gives a “false impression” that the system is stacked against claimants. This comes after the BBC revealed rogue legal advisers charging thousands to coach fake claims — including staged gay club photos and fabricated partner letters. Critics say it’s peak Green delusion, defending the gaming of the system while taxpayers foot the £8bn+ bill and public trust collapses. Zack Polanski looking ridiculous again.

This is what the war between No10 and Robbins comes down to The PM is saying he should have been told about the UKSV recommendation. But UKSV is one part of a bigger process that leads to a decision Friends of Olly Robbins say that would have broken protocol if he’d passed on the UKSV judgement or any other element of the FCDO information gathering - he was banned from doing that and can only inform ministers of his / the FCDOs pass/fail recommendation Robbins was only able to tell ministers he had passed Mandelson - nothing else

@LeeHarris @billfromthetoon

Yvette Cooper is apparently claiming she was 'unaware' Peter Mandelson had failed vetting until 3pm yesterday. Absolute bollocks, but even if that is true, she should still resign along with Starmer for her own sheer incompetence. The wheels are finally falling off the wagon.

Just pointing out that I broke the story 7 months ago that Mandelson failed vetting from the security services and put it to Downing Street...so the idea that Downing Street only found out on Tuesday is complete nonsense. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@BethRigby If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

ANALYSIS: So many questions PM near apoplectic on Friday as he insisted he was not told Peter Mandelson's security vetting had failed.  He insisted, repeatedly, that neither he nor other ministers had been informed about the vetting process and said he would present the full facts to parliament on Monday amid mounting calls for him to resign.  Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the opposition, has accused the PM of lying to save his job.  The stage is then set for an almighty clash - when the prime minister comes to parliament to persuade doubting MPs that he really was kept in the dark and he did not mislead parliament - as his opponents look to finish him off. Key to Starmer's defence on Monday will behe wasn't made aware of the details of Mandelson's vetting.  The central claim from No 10, repeated by the PM's chief secretary Darren Jones this morning, is that Starmer was only made aware on Tuesday night that Lord Mandelson had been granted security clearance against the recommendation of UK security vetting.  Foreign Office has Olly Robbins has been sacked over, as No 10 lays blame at that department's door. I was told the PM had been asking Whitehall questions about vetting for months, given he was being asked to give statements to parliament and this information was not shared. What this suggests is the Foreign Office withheld this information from the PM, which I find simply astonishing and shocking.  Overnight, I've spoken to a couple of former senior civil servants who have told me they find it impossible to believe Robbins would not have flagged this information to the PM and taken the decision to override vetting without consulting or informing any minister.  One former senior mandarin, casting around for a possible explanation, told me "failing" security vetting comes in different grades: "If it's complicated vetting, and the subject lives overseas, it might be that security services can't give a bright green light, but they can come and do the job but can't see top level papers, so the system can bend a bit." But this figure was equally clear that if Lord Mandelson failed vetting, then the explanation from government - that neither the PM nor his advisers, or it emerges the foreign secretary, were told - "makes no sense".  “The very first thing a permanent secretary would do is share that with their political masters," said a former civil servant.  Another told me last night as Robbins was sacked that it was "awful treatment of a very good public servant".  We are yet to hear from Robbins. Chair of the foreign affairs select committee, Emily Thornberry, has asked for the former permanent secretary of the Foreign Office to appear before her committee on Tuesday. The key question for Starmer now is if he misled the House of Commons and is in contempt of parliament… full piece below 👇 #liveblog-body" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">news.sky.com/story/politics…

@floboflo 🤣🤣

Keir Starmer has done nothing wrong and has got all the big decisions right. If he is forced to resign then this country is finished

@SteveReedMP You seem obsessed?

Coming soon…

@PolitlcsUK He needs to be accountable as the leader.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says he is "absolutely furious" at not being told Peter Mandelson failed security vetting

@Liam_Holman99 Hey Louie any head of an organisation he is up timateoy accountable. If this were the private sector he’d be out.

Starmer did not lie. He was lied to.

@PolitlcsUK He’s right. We just don’t have that position filled yet.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer’s Chief Secretary says the PM will not resign He says Starmer did not knowingly or unknowingly mislead Parliament “You need a credible, reliable, strong Prime Minister to be able to take the country through difficult challenges”

@TufnellHenry @BBCPolitics 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Today on @BBCPolitics, I challenged former Minister Lord Harper over Tory failure on the asylum backlog, use of hotels and visa abuse. The UK Labour Government is now doing the hard work to fix the system and get control of our borders.
