Starmer, Burnham, Farage, Polanski…These men have one thing in common. They all want nationalisation. That will mean companies run by politicians but paid for with YOUR money. There’s only one party that stands against their failed ideas and that’s the Conservatives.

BURNHAM’s FIVE FLIP FLOPS - in the last week: 🥶 U-turn on trans stance 🥶 U-turn on EU Rejoin position 🥶 U-turn on immigration policy 🥶 U-turn on fiscal rules 🥶 U-turn on introduction of PR Why would anyone trust a word this man says?

Labour have chosen. To keep dangerous young thugs out of prison. To let 60,000 criminals out early. And to abolish short-term sentences altogether. They cannot be trusted to keep us safe.

This is what decline looks like. The Red Arrows forced to fly with seven instead of nine planes. Instead of formations like the Diamond Nine, it’ll now be the Starmer Seven. The ultimate ‘shrinkflation’. The Red Arrows are the world’s best at what they do. Global trade and diplomacy gloves wrapped in a package of fast flying steel. Sealing the deal on badly needed exports, trade deals and military pacts in skies from Washington and Tokyo. A showcase that says, ‘if this is how their acrobatic team fly in training aircraft, this country is not to be messed with’. But a government which tried to give away the Chagos Islands and re-open litigation against veterans was never to be trusted on our display team painting the skies in red, white and blue. For many of their MPs, apologising for our history comes more naturally than flying the British flag. What is the root cause of this decision? I’m sure the Treasury had a hand. There is talk of increasing costs of £28 million a year to maintain and secure admittedly rare supplies for the ‘Reds’. But that’s far less than the NHS alone spends annually on ‘diversity’ and I know which I’d rather have. And the wider picture is grim. We are a country spending more on debt interest than on defence. We have the highest peacetime tax burden in modern history, and a Chancellor borrowing heavily on top of it. For generations, politicians of all stripes did not tell the truth about the public finances. They put us in hock to others without ever acknowledging what they were doing. They let spending on welfare balloon and wrote cheques that future children are going to have to cash. That is the fiscal vice that squeezes everything - from the Reds, to the frontline, to the equipment our service personnel actually depend on. I spent years as finance director of one of Britain’s largest companies. You learn quickly that leadership is not about being popular. It’s about telling the truth and making the hard calls. Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives are now doing exactly that. And not shying away from the fact this is a change; that past Conservative-led governments were part of the problem. Symbols matter. Our adversaries are watching. If we can’t keep nine training jets in the air for a flypast, they will draw their own conclusions about what we can do when it counts. Let’s get this one right. A British successor, ordered in time, built here. Anything less and the Diamond Nine becomes a permanent memorial to a country that stopped believing in itself.

🚨 Morrisons is closing 100 stores. They've said it is because of “significant cost increases resulting from government policy choices”. This will be deeply worrying for everyone who works at Morrisons. Rachel Reeves has battered our economy. This is the reality of her chaos.

If you make it harder to do business, there will be less business… And fewer stores obviously means fewer jobs too.

I can understand a minister or shadow minister suffering from burnout and consequently returning to the back benches. But a backbench MP? With no formal responsibility other than voting? What is it that time is being taken out from? What is it that there is a ‘leave of absence’ from? MPs aren’t employees. Is this just a letter to say no surgeries for a few weeks?

Keir Starmer would rather pay Putin for Russian oil, than drill British oil from the North Sea. What happened to standing with Ukraine?

Every family should enjoy the summer without having to think about the pressures of the cost of living. That’s what our Great British Summer Savings package is all about.

Rachel Reeves has left us in a terrible position to deal with the latest energy crisis. Today’s announcements will do nothing to undo the damage she has done to our economy. This dying Labour government have failed us all 👇🏻

I am truly appalled at the video posted by Israeli Cabinet Minister Ben-Gvir taunting those involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla. This violates the most basic standards of respect and dignity in the way people should be treated. We are in touch with the families of a number of British nationals involved to provide them with consular support. We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved.

I find it impossible to understand why we buy oil from Norway, now Russia again, when we have our own, which would create tax revenue, growth & jobs?

The most pointless sort of populism. All of the major issues she could ask the Prime Minister about and she thinks the big problem is MPs having a pint.
