Bizarre that Labour figures arguing that they need to win the Makerfield by-election to “move on from our period of introspection and return to delivering for the British people ” (or something like that, Lammy on TV) The by-election is entirely caused by Labour introspection!

„Starmer ist auf verschiedene Art und Weise der Schwächste.” @GregHands, Ex-Staatsminister unter Rishi Sunak, im Morning Briefing Podcast mit @ChelseaSpieker. Sein Urteil nach sieben Premierministern, die er im Parlament erlebt hat. Labour verlor vergangene Woche über 1.400 Mandate — mehr als 70 Abgeordnete stellen sich gegen ihren Premier.

A smart move now is for Starmer to appoint Rayner to the vacancy at Health ✅ she might need the Cabinet salary (eg to pay the tax bill) ✅ turns a rival into a supporter ✅ outflanks Streeting ✅ confounds opinion that he is incapable of bold action. ✅ avoids wider reshuffle

What a missed opportunity! I was one of a large group of former Energy Ministers (cross party) who wrote to the PM earlier this year, urging the Government to do more to exploit our own North Sea gas, rather than importing it from others. Imports always create more emissions.

I happen to be in Lewisham tonight and saw this Labour leaflet through every door - literally not a single reason on it to vote Labour.

Incredible that Labour in London are featuring endorsements from Andy Burnham on their leaflets - but not Keir Starmer or Sadiq Khan.

@GregHands @Conservatives FFS you were an MP. Why don't you know that it's illegal to post a picture of a completed ballot paper.

“It was quicker as a Brit to get into the GDR (Communist East Germany) in 1986 than it is to get into today’s Germany in 2026.” My comment at yesterday’s German - UK business summit, held to celebrate the Kensington Treaty. The Treaty says Brits can use the eGates. They can’t.

Great to speak as a panellist at the Ludwig Erhard Gipfel here in Tegernsee, on trade and industrial policy. My key messages: ✅ The future in trade is plurilateral. ✅ as an example, EU should join the CPTPP ✅ Rising oil prices haven’t been fully factored in yet.
