Today we remember the 6 million Jewish people who were murdered by the Nazi regime in the 20th century. We mourn those we lost and continue to honour the courage of survivors whose testimony will educate future generations.

At Christmas we mark the birth of Christ. A wonderful story of hope, humility and peace at the most special time of year. Christmas is a time for making merry and seeing friends, but more than anything, it’s about family. That’s why, to those working tomorrow and spending time away from their loved ones, I want to say thank you for keeping the country going. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Though I yield to nobody in my view that BoJo was just about the least appropriate person to have as PM when Covid struck, I’m sceptical of the Hallet report’s claim that had he locked down a week earlier 23,000 lives would have been saved. First, it’s easy to be wise after the event. At the time nobody was quite sure what was happening. Second, that figure depends on modelling. And by now we should all have learned to be extremely sceptical of modelling.

One of the best takedowns of Starmer’s China Spy Scandal. A must-watch👇

Let’s not forget that most of what we’re now borrowing is spent on meeting the cost of previous borrowing. The OBR reckons we’ll borrow £143 billion this financial year 2025/26 (it will be more than that). It also estimates we’ll spend £111 billion paying interest on existing debt (it will be more than that). The cost of servicing the national debt now takes over 8% of government spending and is almost 4% of our GDP. And 77% of what we’ll borrow this year will be spent on interest incurred on previous borrowing. It is unsustainable.

BREAKING NEWS: More pressure on Chancellor Reeves to raise taxes/repair public finances/‘fix the foundations’ (still a work in progress, contrary to ministerial claims): UK government borrowing rose to almost £21 billion last month, £6.6bn higher than June 2024 and the second-highest June borrowing figure since monthly records began in 1993. City economists had forecast borrowing to increase to £16.5bn. These days when it comes to inflation, growth, borrowing and pretty much every other economic indicator ‘City economists’ are invariably over-optimistic about Labour economic policy.

Net Zero by 2050 is impossible. There's no point Britain bankrupting ourselves over 1% of global emissions, while China and others carry on unchecked.

Rachel Reeves is hungry for cash...and she's looking for it in your pocket. Whatever happens today, one thing's for sure... You're gonna need a bigger wallet.

It looks like Keir Starmer is about sell out Britain to the European Union, and destroy the British fishing industry in the process. We're clear: If he gives powers away to Brussels today, a future Conservative government will take them back.

We're deeply saddened by the passing of @DaveBHarry, Chairman of #Basildon Council (1986-8) & 3rd Mayor (2016-18), first elected in 1974. He was principled & tenacious. Respected on all sides for his hard work & dedication. Our thoughts go out to his wife, Linda, & family. RIP
