This is the reason her party hasn’t recovered in polls. She knows the rise is largely due to the Iran war and wholesale costs; so do the public of course, and the market. And yet she persists in this puerile partisan gesture. Sleepwalking into irrelevance.
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch

Energy bills are rising again. Labour will blame Iran, but you’re paying more because of Ed Miliband’s net zero taxes and refusal to drill our own oil and gas. Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills by 20% by scrapping the green taxes, scrapping VAT and drilling in the North Sea.

A wonderful lunch with great friends ruined by the owner telling us after 20 years he’s packing it in! Why – NIC, minimum wage, business rate but MOST of all welfare & benefits. No one will work more than 20 hours a week because of loss of benefits. Cont'd underneath

Andy Burnham now now says: 1. I will stick to Rachael Reeves’ fiscal rules. 2. I will not seek to rejoin the EU. Two U-turns in one day. What exactly would he do differently?

@DaleVince More utterly disgusting hypocrisy from the Vince camp…. I can taste a little bit of sick in my own mouth. Better get your next funding round sorted before the Tool departs. #labour @UKLabour implosion.

I just don’t think there should be a leadership challenge. Keir Starmer has a massive mandate given to him by the British people at the general election. I don’t think anybody in the Cabinet has a right to try to overturn that. I still hope there won’t be a leadership contest. If there is, it’s probable that Keir will stand himself and in which case, I’d be in his camp. What we need now is continuity. We need Labour to deliver on their manifesto. We haven’t even been two years into this government. telegraph.co.uk/gift/d0332ac86…

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times. They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

The Burnham manifesto: •Rejoin the European Union •Break the fiscal rules to borrow more for defence. Thus destroying the fiscal rules… •Extensive devolution, including tax powers. •A wealth tax •Nationalise water, energy, utilities, and what remains of rail •A land value tax •A council tax revaluation •A ‘National Care Service’ •Rollout of nationalised bus franchising, modelled on Greater Manchester’s Bee Network •A £2 single fare bus cap •A fully elected upper chamber to replace the Lords •Bring in “free transport for teenagers in England.” •No welfare reforms. •Build more council houses. By borrowing £40 billion… •Scrap the whipping system in the Commons. An old favourite, truly barmy… •MAYBE: Proportional representation. Once behind the No10 door, people tend to lose interest in that one…

@British_Airways continues to confuse legacy cues with brand strength. Classical music at embarkation doesn’t signal premium, it signals an airline anchored in outdated thinking. BA needs a fundamental refresh of product, brand & commercial strategy if it wants global relevance.

@itvnews @Peston you look ultra foolish with your sycophant @labour love-in. This cardboard clown has raced to the Middle East with the same befuddlement that precluded his ascent to office! Utterly. Useless. World stage or otherwise. #Labourlies #starmercretinous

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is travelling to the Gulf to reiterate the UK's support for the newly agreed ceasefire between the US and Iran.

@RachelReevesMP Hey @grok are these supposed claims merited? I suspect they are not net positives and come as a result of some dire choices elsewhere and very biased tax burdens.

@Gracie_Blue89 Kudos to you for pointing this out. It’s astonishing - it’ll be a worse version of the Starmer warnings issued before July 2024. Imagine the head holding that will result from empowering Polanski & dunces… some buyers remorse me thinks.

Gordon Brown got bullied and ridiculed. Ed Milliband got bullied and ridiculed. Jeremy Corbyn got bullied and ridiculed. Sir Keir Starmer is getting bullied and ridiculed. Don't know about anyone else, but I'm seeing a pattern. 🤔 #ScumMedia
