Ministers claimed they didn’t know the damage their changes to business rates would do. That’s not an excuse. If you’re a Minister making a decision on tax, you’re given analysis on what it’ll do. Labour either didn’t listen or didn’t care: full U-turn now.

I’ve been a Member of Parliament for getting on for six years. Not once has any constituent ever indicated support for Mauritius to be given the Chagos Islands plus a £47 billion taxpayer dowry. Just how out of touch is Labour?!
Ross Kempsell@RossKempsell

If Andy Burnham is so foolish as to pursue the Chagos deal we will dedicate all our energy to removing him from office as swiftly as possible - as we did with Starmer Save Chagos 🇮🇴 Me for @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/gift/525e418bc…

Why won't Labour accept free trade is a Brexit benefit? We warmly welcome the new trade agreement with Switzerland, but it was only possible because of Brexit. Now they want to drag us back into the grip of the EU!

Britain is at its best when AI innovators like those at Valarian are empowered to solve complex problems. This successful raise is further proof that UK companies can continue to attract significant international backing.
Valarian@ValarianHQ

Almost every organisation on Earth is paying for the privilege to hand over its IP to someone else's AI. We just closed a $50M Series A, led by @NEA, to build the alternative from right here in London: every model, agent and workload sealed in its own enclave, on infrastructure you control, with keys only you hold. You can't be sovereign on someone else's stack. Build your own with Valarian.

🚨 The UK and Switzerland have sealed a new trade deal. A major boost for UK business opening new opportunities, cutting barriers, and helping firms thrive in two of the world's leading services economies.

Another Brexit benefit just landed! In government I helped negotiate our financial services deal with Switzerland so I know this will benefit business. Switzerland is not in the EU, so Brexit means freedom to do deals to benefit our services, life sciences, and travellers.

Higher taxes are the last thing the low-growth and over-indebted UK needs. Cut taxes, get building, drill our own oil, scrap red tape and attract wealth creators and the ambitious young back. That’s a proper plan!

We need a youth unemployment commission, that's the real crisis in Labour's broken employment market. But in fairness to the LPC, they are clearly embarrassed and point the issue straight back to the Ministers and Chancellor who decided to price people out of work.
Ant Breach@AntBreach

Bit strange from the @lpcminimumwage - arguing that going above 66% of typical wages would be risky for the minimum wage, when it's already above that in 45 British cities. In Doncaster it's 82% of the local median, the 3rd highest in the OECD after Colombia and Costa Rica:

@allthepost So you’d support opening a coking coal mine in the U.K. then? Without which you’d have domestic steel making in war for about a couple of days. Labour opposed a coking coal mine.

@griffitha Yo dumbass. Where do you get steel from during a war for critical infrastructure projects if we have no steel mills?

You are Prime Minister. Do you: (a) Invest in unbelievably good research in areas like quantum, photonics and AI in the Harwell Campus with world class facilities like the Diamond Light Source. (b) Spend £2.5 billion subsidising fundamentally unprofitable steel making?

@iainpdooley If it is national security you’d clearly then want domestic cooking coal production. Fact that Labour simultaneously OPPOSE that gives this the lie.

@griffitha You support both. The ability to make steel is a national security issue. It has been made “unprofitable” due to the regressive and economically ruinous energy policies of both Labour and Conservative governments.

@griffitha C do both, it is only unprofitable thanks to crazy government legislation that makes energy prices high. We need to get low energy prices and scrap net zero.

@thegrocersson National security for steel making would also be a more compelling argument had Labour not opposed a sovereign coking coal mine - meaning we cannot make steel without relying on imports in any case.

Clue: This government are CUTTING funding for the UK's unbelievably world-leading, Diamond Light Source at Harwell and other national laboratories (such as the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and the Central Laser Facility) by 15%. This is foundational advantage for the UK in precisely the areas of quantum, photonics and AI - and with national security implications.

In the short time it takes to watch this video, the Government plan to spend AT LEAST £3,300 more on British Steel. £2.3 million a day. £2.5 billion over three years. With no plan, and no guarantee the blast furnaces will even stay open. Why?
Andrew Griffith MP@griffitha

‼️BREAKING: Labour's botched steel nationalisation may cost more than £2.2 million a DAY. Labour just voted AGAINST our amendment to cap spending on British Steel at £2.5 billion for three years. If £2.2 million a day is not enough, just how much is?

We know first hand the value of a summer job — because it’s how we got started. Too many young people are denied that opportunity because of Labour’s attacks on employers. Why don’t they get it? Join our campaign to Save the Summer Job 👇
Conservatives@Conservatives

Everyone starts somewhere. Summer jobs give young people skills, confidence and a first step into work. That’s why we’re campaigning to protect them. We asked the Conservative Shadow Cabinet what their first summer jobs were. Their answers might surprise you 👇
