@dave_derrick I worked out last year that we had ten managers to manage two secretaries.

When management is failing, the answer is never more management.

@DCBMEP No reform need to put the greater good first. Reform have been taken over by the very people voted out two years ago and why we are in the dire situation we are in. Have to disagree this time.

This could be enough to get Burnham in. Surely Restore Britain need to put the greater good first.

@KathrynPorter26 @AllisonPearson @Telegraph @Ed_Miliband It's called a dictatorship

In the @Telegraph I talk about @Ed_Miliband's idiotic plan to make new oil and gas drilling illegal He claims to want secure home grown clean energy but prefers to import hydrocarbons that are dirtier than the ones we produce The contradiction is obvious to everyone except him apparently The other worrying aspect is that the proposed Bill is framework legislation which effectively gives ministers a blank cheque to deal with what can be extremely important details later with secondary legislation and statutory instruments which attract little scrutiny What is it about this @UKLabour government that wants to avoid accountability. They tried to cancel elections and now they're trying to swerve proper Parliamentary scrutiny @Keir_Starmer @KemiBadenoch @ClaireCoutinho @AndrewBowie_MP @griffitha @NJ_Timothy @DavidGHFrost @afneil @Iromg @AllisonPearson @MerrynSW @EdConwaySky @mattotele @mattwridley telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@PolitlcsUK He should do what @RupertLowe10 does and donate his whole monthly salary to local charities IF he actually wins.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has pledged to donate 15% of his salary if he’s elected as the MP for Makerfield

@CatharineHoey @JamesCleverly Our town hall defiantly flies the EU flag and has done for more than the thirty years I've lived in Tameside.

Everyone should have the right to fly whatever flag they wish from their own property but official Government and local authority buildings should only have the Union flag. Otherwise where does it stop ?Just because the Ukrainian flag is not flown does not mean we don’t support their people

One of the first decisions made by Essex Reform was to remove the Ukrainian flag from County Council HQ. Let that sink in. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@PolitlcsUK With a general election? He should hold himself to the same standard as Johnson, Truss and Sunak.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer responds to Wes Streeting's resignation

@estherckrakue @peteratcmc The same 🤡🤡🤡🤡 who aren't insisting HMRC reconcile their accounts for over twenty six years.

How many people do you know that can get away with underpaying £40,000 in tax to HMRC and walk away without so much as a £100 fine? Incredible.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

@JuliaHB1 @Royal_Marine_LW You are aware HMRC haven't reconciled their own accounts for twenty seven years.

How on earth has Angela Rayner been "cleared" by HMRC? She didn't pay the extra £40,000 stamp duty that was due. She didn't take the specialist tax advice on her flat purchase that she was advised to take. She failed to pay the extra stamp duty that she, as Housing Secretary, had brought in for second home purchasers. For HMRC not to issue a fine means they judged her decision as "reasonable care" having been taken, or it was possibly "careless", but not a "deliberate" underpayment. She clearly did not take "reasonable care" to ensure her tax was correct. And if it was "careless", it was *deliberate* carelessness. Do you seriously think that if YOU underpaid your taxes by £40,000 as the then Deputy Prime Minister did, that you would get away without a fine? Sorry, but this stinks.

As an MP, I will not comply with Digital ID. I just won't do it, and I hope many millions of British men and women will join me. Send a message to Starmer - share this graphic absolutely everywhere. I will not comply with Digital ID.

@_HenryBolton Presumably the police will just be in short sleeves and hi-vis vests like they are every Saturday for the pro-Pal marches. No, thought not it will be riot gear and police on horseback.

In his desperation to cling onto power, Keir Starmer is looking distract attention by clamping down on the Unite The Kingdom march this Saturday, rather than address the grievances the marchers seek to raise: grooming gangs, the neglect of parts of the country, and mass and illegal immigration which threatens our very way of life. People are struggling Keir Starmer and all you do is attack them. Vile man. When I was speaking to @AndrewGold_ok last October I described the UTK march last year and put things into perspective. Starmer should watch it.

@PolitlcsUK @DCBMEP So how many managers will be brought into the NHS to cut bureaucracy? It needs less not more 🤡

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has announced some of the Bills in the King’s Speech tomorrow to end "the status quo" - Legislation to improve UK trade and investment ties with the EU - Energy Independence Bill to speed up clean energy projects and expand grid infrastructure - New immigration laws aimed at creating what the Government calls a “firm but fair” system - National security legislation to tackle cyber-attacks, state threats and extremist content online - Legislation giving the Government powers to nationalise British Steel - School reform legislation aimed at improving mainstream education and SEND support - Leasehold reforms designed to give homeowners greater rights and control over their properties - NHS reform legislation focused on cutting bureaucracy and improving patient care - New laws to protect social housing stock and strengthen protections for domestic abuse survivors - Reforms aimed at supporting small businesses and investment - Welfare reforms intended to remove barriers preventing people from entering work

@DefundBBC I have done mine, who is Angela Rayner, the one who makes a song and dance about being a single parent. Did she pay?

❌The licence fee should be scrapped, not expanded. ✉️Email your MP today and let them know the strength of feeling over this. defundbbc.uk

🚨We now find out the government favours expanding the licence fee to cover streaming services. This is an absolute disgrace and won’t be accepted by the British public. Email your MP with the link below and make sure this doesn’t happen. #DefundTheBBC

@toryboypierce That was on someone's bingo card of quotes for today. A toolmaker was the best paid engineer, so not so working class.

Not even 10 minutes into his speech and keir_Starmer the first knight of the realm PM Since 1964, tells us he’s from a working class background. Yawn

@DominicFarrell Good luck. If you need anything, I'm the granddaughter of a WW1 veteran.

@SeddSezz @peteratcmc And gave control of the economy to the BofE so he wouldn't get in trouble for raising interest rates.

Starmer has appointed Gordon Brown as his Special Envoy on Global Finance… The same bloke who sold a large chunk of our gold reserves at its lowest price. Superb appointment from Starmer as usual!

@Mike_Fabricant Sorry Mike but in that time Restore Britain will be a force to be reckoned with.

Labour are finished, but the Conservatives have got to hang on in there. As things stand right now, I believe that until Reform are in Government and make a probable mess of it and time has healed the wounds of the electorate with the Tories, it is unlikely the Conservatives will get back in to power. I hope I am wrong, but we could be talking 8 years at least. But the Conservatives WILL get back in time and it’s important that there is a credible party of the right to offer British voters.🇬🇧

@DominicFarrell Same in Tameside, today is a good day, although the turnout is pathetic, so much apathy.

@Syndicate The howl of the Vulcan bomber or the Rolls Royce Merlins of the Lancaster.

Most random question I’ve ever asked… But what is, the most Iconic Sound in the world?! It could be anything, from a can of pop opening, to a door bell, to a ring tone! What is the most ICONIC SOUND!?!

@kelvmackenzie @AllisonPearson Just sack those who haven't actually swiped in and out of the building.

A terrific investigation by The Telegraph reveals thousands of civil servants haven’t gone to the office in more than two years, some even logging in at the government car park giving the false impression they were at their desk - and then heading straight back home. God help us
