Good news that VAT will be cut on electricity bills. It’s a simple way for families to save a few quid, and to mechanically help to keep inflation that little bit lower. But the DigitalID program was unfunded. The government will have to set out how it will pay for its new policies at the budget.

Reshuffle that matters to all MPs - departure of the wonderful Godfrey & Margaret from MPs tea🫖 room. Wishing them the best retirement & grateful for the care they took with all of us.

The new government is taking immediate action to give people some breathing space on the cost of living. From 1 October, VAT will be removed from domestic electricity bills - helping households with energy costs this winter and funded within existing budgets.

Congratulations to John Healey on his appointment. He can now ensure the Defence Investment Plan is properly funded. Conservatives will work with him to cut benefits so we can fund defence. Because we can’t have higher taxes or even more borrowing.

Andy Burnham claims he was not involved in the ousting of Keir Starmer: 'Obviously it was a decision taken by the Parliamentary Labour Party. I wasn't in Parliament - I wasn't in a position to be involved'

When I said I was going to do politics differently, I meant it. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours in Cardiff city centre inviting people to ask me anything about my plans for the UK.
