🇬🇧 STOP the Chagos Islands surrender deal - Our sovereign territory must not be given away & then leased back at a cost of £35b+ - The Mauritius govt is mired in corruption allegations - Serious Qs remains about UK govt's own lack of transparency over this treacherous act 🇬🇧

'UK following EU rules is a problem' says US Ambassador to UK. Yes- for countries we've a Trade deal with & future ones. Brussels will be in control of what we've agreed. 'Take back Control' is now 'Give up Control'. cityam.com/us-ambassador-…

Why is it so hard to build in Britain? The £179m wasted on the failed Stonehenge tunnel mirrors HS2’s failures. Britain’s infrastructure system - fragmented, over-regulated and politically unstable - consistently delivers delays and cost overruns. My latest for @CapX 👇

Tonight the @Conservatives secured a hat-trick of wins. This includes us retaining all our seats and gaining one from the Lib Dems! This positive momentum is great as we approach the local elections and shows we can still win across the country! 🇬🇧

Economic growth is vital for Buckinghamshire’s future. Jobs, shared prosperity and thriving communities all need such growth. Have an investment ready project? See below…

The Labour Government’s appalling attack on independent schools by its ideological VAT tax continues to have a lasting impact on pressure on state schools, communities, jobs, standards and aspiration all for very little benefit. We all suffer. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The french have 21 frigates & destroyers - 19 of which are at sea. We have just 12 - 2 of which are at sea. It's just embarrasing isn't it.

Just as it was clear in 2020 that Britain's lockdown policies were a social, economic, moral, educational and scientific disaster, so every day it becomes ever clearer that Labour/Miliband's NetZero mania is a national mistake of epic proportions. Our energy policies are suicidal

I don’t want to hear another minister say ‘we’re on a war-footing’, ‘we’re in a pre-war era’, ‘the first of govt is the defence of the realm’, ‘we face an imminent threat from Russia’, because they clearly don’t believe any of it. If they did, we’d be rapidly rearming now.

The UK has abstained on a UN vote, by Ghana, calling on former colonial powers to pay reparations for the slave trade. There are roughly 7 million slaves in Africa today, perhaps they should focus on that if they are so morally outraged by it? The UK was also the first country in the entire history of humanity to end slavery, costing British lives and a debt we have only just recently paid off. We’ve done our part, in fact, we’ve done more than any other nation ever.

“Can the Minister name any other community obliged to have professional guards for every place of worship, school and communal building in Britain?” This isn’t normal. The Jewish community is being intimidated at home here in the UK - and words simply aren’t good enough.

In a rare breach of convention, retired directors from MI6, MI5 and GCHQ have come forward to express their alarm about the “Government’s continued reluctance” to ban the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Here is a rundown of the history: • Then Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy promised, prior to the last general election, that a Labour Government would ban the IRGC. • After a year in office, Business Secretary Peter Kyle said that the IRGC would not be proscribed, and that sanctions were as far as the Government could go, in other words that they were breaking their pre-election promise. • Shortly thereafter, the European Union proscribed the IRGC, and Ministers apparently U-turned and said that the UK would follow suit, seemingly returning to the pre-election pledge but insisting that the move would not be fast-tracked. We are now slowly coming up to two years since the election and the IRGC is still not proscribed. A war is raging in the Middle East and we already know of several Iranian plots against British Jews and other targets in this country, let alone those that are not public. Still, the Government waits. We cannot wait any longer. Tell the Government to keep its word. Sign the petition now at antisemitism.org/BanTheIRGC. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

Britain Cannot Hand the #Chagos Islands to a State Under a Cloud of Corruption At precisely the moment Britain is contemplating one of the most consequential territorial decisions in decades, alarming signals are emerging from Mauritius... conservativepost.co.uk/britain-cannot…

Kemi speaking for the whole country, who is fed up of this buffoon ⬇️

Anyone reading the transcript will conclude McSweeney deliberately obfuscated, lied about location, avoided mentioning Downing Street, and failed to say there was sensitive information on the phone. The British public are being had by Starmer and Labour. thesun.co.uk/news/38627793/…

Kemi Badenoch produced a golden moment at PMQs today, brilliantly skewering Keir Starmer while shining a spotlight on the growing McSweeney-Mandelson scandal and the now-infamous missing phone.

🚨Father of the House Sir Edward Leigh raises a point of order about Keir Starmer NEVER answering questions at PMQs. Lindsay Hoyle says there is nothing he can do. NONSENSE! He can pause proceedings and ask Keir Starmer to answer, but he *never* does. ABSOLUTELY USELESS!
