Some corrections: You inherited 2% inflation. It doubled in 12 months after you became Chancellor. It is still 50% above the rate you inherited and 50% above target. It should fall to target 2% this summer. So two years to get back to where you started! What’s to boast about that? Interest rates have been falling everywhere. UK cuts, which you don’t control, have been fewer and smaller because of your inflation record. We still have highest interest rate in G7. The Bank has made some cuts for the simple reason the economy is flat on its back. Well done. Borrowing is slowly falling from a very high base. Almost six years after the pandemic-induced recession, we’re still borrowing around 4% GDP. And borrowing costs are the highest in the G7. Retail sales are up in recent months. We’ll see how long that’s sustained. But the hospitality and construction industries are in crisis. Plus our massive services sector is stagnant. UK fastest G7 economy? That’s simply a bare-faced lie. We grew by 0.1% in Q3 2025; and another 0.1% in Q4. End of.

Hi @AngelaRayner Just checking to see if you’ll be calling for a General Election once your party changes PM?

Joey Mannarino. Valentina Gomez. Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Ada Lluch. Filip Dewinter. Dominik Tarczyński. Rasmus Paludan. 7 people banned from Britain for their political views. Not for violence. Not for terrorism. For speech. If the Government can silence people it dislikes today, who gets silenced tomorrow?

Surprised to see my name on this list when I haven’t either signed any letter supporting the PM or called for the PM to go?? Not very courteous of colleagues to put names down without their approval

Filip Dewinter has been banned from entering the UK. A Belgian politician. A diplomatic passport. A speaking engagement at a UK rally. Denied. This is a dark day for freedom of speech in Britain.

Keir Starmer 7/7/2022: “He [Boris]needs to go. He can’t cling on. His own party have now decided that he’s unfit to be prime minister. They can’t now inflict him on the country for the next few months” He called for a GE. Starmer’s own standards suggests that he should resign.

Insane. Labour has now banned sitting member of the European Parliament from entering the UK. Keir Starmer was “delighted” to welcome Alaa Abd El Fattah, who holds extremist views. He invited Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who’s responsible for mass killings. Two-tier-Keir

He's not a good and decent man. Only someone corrupt or extremely stupid would preside over the sleaze that's taken place on his watch Neither is desirable in a Prime Minister To recap, under @Keir_Starmer... Two people with close links to pedophiles were promoted to high office His ex deputy is in hot water with HMRC One minister resigned because she turned out to be a literal criminal His anti corruption minister has been convicted overseas of corruption A homelessness minister had to resign over evicting tenants A heath minister resigned after hoping a constituent would die Another Labour MP resigned after punching a constituent in the face 6x A Labour MP was suspended after being arrested for sex offences The Business Secretary thought he was a solicitor when he wasn't His Chancellor seems extremely confused about her work history. She also failed to get a licence to rent her property Multiple ministers including the PM accepted gifts including clothes from donors despite earning more than double what most people earn The Attorney General has failed to act on conflicts of interest and supported baseless lawfare against British soldiers The Labour Welsh First Minister was forced to resign over so many allegations of corruption it's hard to know where to start typing them On top of all that there's the cronyism, firing officials without due process, and the Chinese spying case

This you?

I’ve enjoyed watching the past few days quietly from the sidelines…🍿 👀 What a car-crash it has been for Labour. I’ve watched aghast at the statements made by so many senior folk, not least Angela Rayner & today Keir Starmer. It seems they have no true understanding (or acceptance) of why they are haemorrhaging like this… You don’t win back a Brexit red wall by closer EU realignment. You don’t win working class folk back by calling those they chose ‘divisive’ or ‘dangerous’, nor talking about ‘dark paths’. You don’t win them back by banging on about ‘far-right’ and certainly not by suggesting that many of the normal (often former Labour) voters who will take to the streets at the weekend, to raise their frustrations are attempting to “intimidate”. And finally, you certainly…certainly don’t win them back by refusing to acknowled the impact of uncontrolled immigration or illegal migrants on their neighbourhoods, nor the bloated welfare state which sees many benefit claimants better off than the workers - (while expecting said workers to pay for it, tho struggling themselves). Don’t even get me started on the elephant in the room of the broken social contract… How is it even possible to be at the top of political power and be this clueless? We have much to discuss tonight and I can’t wait for 6pm to do just that with you 🙌🙌

@AllisonPearson To ban ‘far right agitators’ which is all of us 🙄 who’ve called out the rise of Islamic extremism and antisemitism He @Keir_Starmer has learned absolutely nothing 🤷‍♀️ What an embarrassment of a speech 🎤 …

Keir Starmer calls Nigel "a grifter” and a “chancer". Millions of people have made it clear that they prefer a party led by Farage than a Labour Party led by Starmer. This name calling by a man the public want to resign will only help Farage. He never learns.

Starmer cheered by Labour staffers when announcing nationalisation of British Steel. What he didn’t mention was that its been under the government’s control since April 2025, since when: Taxpayers ponied up almost £400 million in the nine months to January 2026 (9 months). The ongoing cost is around £1.3 million per day. State subsidy to reach ~£615 million by June 2026 — and exceed £1.5 billion by 2028 if the current subsidy rate continues.

Now it turns out that Zack Polanski lied again. He falsely claimed to have worked at the Ministry of Justice. His CV must have as many lies on it as Rachel Reeves does.

I wasn’t aware this would end up on the front page of ⁦@DailyMailUK⁩ but I stand by every word I said And I’m happy this is dominating international conversations, finally Starmer 'guilty as anyone' over failures to tackle grooming gangs dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Reform voters are racist apparently. As soon as I saw this insult to millions of British people (one of the least racist nations on earth) I suspected it was from an academic. It’s impossible to exaggerate how western universities became overrun with woke ideology

Blunt and brilliant @TrevorPTweets on Balkanised Britain and Labour’s woe “Frankly if you want people to vote for you, I don't think that the best way is to start by telling them that the guys they've just voted for are stupid and racist… And then we wonder why they hate us.”

🌹 Bridget Phillipson is currently on #BBCLauraK claiming Reform is racist. I’m not sure branding millions of former Labour voters in places like the Red Wall as “racist”… …is quite the winning strategy Labour seems to think it is.

Why does Keir Starmer want to remain in a job he clearly isn’t able to do?

A student from India who does not hold British citizenship and is here on a temporary visa has just been elected to the Scottish parliament to serve a four-year term (salary £80,000 per year). How in God’s name can something like this be allowed to happen? Our democracy is sick.
