@RachelReevesMP Am I correct in saying the following? Jan 2026 - The IMFs forecast for the UK was 1.3%. April 2026 - It was downgraded to 0.8% May 2026 - Upgraded from 0.8% to 1% But it’s still 0.3% lower than Januarys forecast.

These are tough election results for Labour and I’m sorry to all of those colleagues who have lost their seats. Keir Starmer won a mandate to change our country. We must get on with delivering that mandate - and show how politics can improve people’s lives for the better.

Today’s strong growth figures show the Government has the right economic plan. The choices I have made as Chancellor mean our economy is in a stronger position as we deal with the costs of the war in Iran. Now is not the time to put our economic stability at risk.

Protecting households and businesses from rising costs is my priority, and the choices I have made as Chancellor mean our economy is in a stronger position as we deal with the costs of the war in Iran.

The IMF upgrading its growth forecasts for the UK and backing our fiscal strategy is yet more proof that this Government has the right economic plan.

Enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Daisy is also spot on about the impact of council housing on my life and so many others’. The absence of this security is costing us dearly in terms of opportunity costs for kids and the financial costs of grotty temporary accommodation. 👇🏻

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Labour will never privatise the NHS. We’ll work with the private sector to cut NHS waiting lists while we build the staff, the equipment and the technology the NHS needs to treat patients on time.

@Keir_Starmer Answer this, if the Left, as they insist are morally on the correct side of history, and the Right are morally corrupt, why is it that those at leftists marches cover their faces while those on the right don’t??

Today the voices of division will be loud. They don't speak for the country I know, one that belongs to all of us. That's our Britain. A Britain worth fighting for. lbc.co.uk/article/keir-s…

Last week’s strong growth figures show that this government has the right economic plan. Today, the IMF has upgraded the UK’s growth forecast. We are building a stronger, fairer Britain.

Too right.

This is hilarious. The Daily Mail has revealed that Andy Burnham was jogging at 12.18pm, then he returned home 45 minutes in his VW Golf. His jog was just a photo op. Why pretend to jog? It just makes him look fake and untrustworthy. Something the public hate about politics.

Slippery Starmer is barricading himself inside Number 10 as Calamity Lammy decides to launch another war with Tommy Robinson. Well today I can prove to the treacherous Deputy Prime Minister that all the violence was – surprise surprise – coming from the leftists and Islamists…

He’s an ex Labour MP..

@AngelaRayner @AngelaRayner is today trying to make out HMRC cleared her tax affairs, HMRC found that she underpaid stamp duty by £40,000 she’s had to pay with interest on top - which is charged at a penal rate of 7.75%. That is certainly not an exoneration in the eyes of the law, nor HMRC.

We will be judged on our actions, not just words.  We have to show that we understand the scale of response the moment calls for. Labour exists to make working people better off. That is not happening fast enough. And needs to change now. Proud to address #CWU26

Need something to watch tonight? Former Deputy Prime Minister @AngelaRayner joins @Victoria_Spratt and @campbellclaret for a conversation on the subjects shaping Gen Z today - from the appeal of figures like Gary Stevenson and Zack Polanski to the housing crisis and the growing disconnect between young people and politics. Watch the full episode now.

EXCL: Angela Rayner has been cleared by HMRC of deliberate wrongdoing or carelessness over her tax affairs, paving the way for a potential leadership bid if Keir Starmer’s grip on power unravels. The former DPM has settled £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, but has not paid any penalty as a result of the investigation. HMRC was also satisfied there was no tax avoidance. Rayner tells me she was “bruised” by whole experience because of intrusion into her disabled son’s personal life, but also because it had appeared as though she was “in it for myself” rather than on the side of ordinary people. Rayner indicated she may run in event of a contest as she would “play my part” and that she understood why Labour MPs were so upset following last week’s election crushing. She said Starmer should “reflect on” stepping aside.

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@owenjonesjourno We don’t care

No condemnation from our politicians. No outrage from the media. No action by the police. British Muslims are sent a clear message: You are fair game for hatred.

This is vile, but because it’s targeted at Muslims, the Met Police don’t care. Imagine if a pro-Palestine march had someone on stage mocking Orthodox Jewish women.
