Don’t let the rage-baiters win. Fact: London is safer than every major city in the USA.

@HakunaMatata26C @UKLabour So the Tories can spend 168 months creating complete carnage and you expect this government to fix all that in 17 months? Pathetic 🙄 Try reading the facts & educate yourself. fullfact.org/government-tra…

Notice to all @UKLabour MPs, Can you please stop saying... "because of the Tories in the past 14 years". They are NOT in power now, YOU are, and have been for the past 17 months! You have made a complete sh1t show of running the country, stop blaming others for your failures!

Nigel Farage is currently under investigation/scrutiny for: — 'forgetting' to declare his donations to the MPs register of interests. — 'forgetting' that he didn't buy a house in Clacton. — allegedly, overseeing electoral campaign overspending. — 'forgetting' that he may, or may not, own a fishing trawler. — potentially opaque donations via cryptocurrencies. — allegedly, being viciously racist when he was at school. — pretending that Reform UK vet candidates. — overseeing a party [UKIP/Brexit/Reform] that had, allegedly, multiple Russian assets. Have I missed anything? Seems to me like, if this was any member of the Labour Party, the media would have brought them down by now. Hounded them out of a job, à la Angela Rayner. Two-tier media?

Badenoch, constantly attacking benefits claimants, claims £2,700 a month for rent alone. She claims more in expenses than any other party leader. politicsuk.com/kemi-badenoch-…

For the record: 📈 2,300 more secondary and special school teachers 📈 Trainee teachers up 11% 📈 Physics up 36% 📈 Computing up 44% 📈 Maths up 16% 📈 Attendance improving 📈 Behaviour improving Labour is getting more children in class & more teachers in front of them. #PMQs

Covid fraud under the last government cost us £11bn. That money belongs to the British people. We are taking action to get our money back and put it where it belongs - in our schools, our hospitals and our communities. news.sky.com/story/covid-sc…

Covid fraud under the Tories cost the taxpayer £10.9 billion The counter-fraud and error measures during the pandemic under the Conservative Government were accused of being 'so lax they may as well have left the door wide open' mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Never forget

Some facts: - Tory govt average employment = 73.8% - Labour govt average employment = 75%

@TheRealJamieKay No

Do you believe the UK should leave the ECHR?

@Helen_Whately @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives What a ridiculous assertion or most likely a downright lie. Nothing changes with you Tories - lies, lies & more damned lies

Taxpayers are funding Motability cars for people on benefits which they can't even afford themselves. In the past, being in the ECHR stopped us fixing this. Under @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives would leave the ECHR and get a grip of Motability.

@DavidDavisMP The OBR said Reeves didn’t mislead which those of us with our head screwed on correctly already knew. Interesting you have the temerity to criticise given the ‘disastrous’ Truss was one of yours 🙄 This post is ‘disastrous’ - the budget was not.

The chaos sown by Reeves' disastrous budget continues. Richard Hughes, the OBR chairman, has done the honourable thing and resigned over the leak. Rachel Reeves has not 👇

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

@IsabelOakeshott Seems you are the one that is lying… par for the course 🙄

🛑 The whole Budget was built on a lie. I don’t see how that is survivable for either the Chancellor, or the Prime Minister, or indeed any other minister who knew. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Rachel Reeves did not mislead on challenges facing UK ahead of Budget, says OBR official bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Next time Reform claim to be something different, remember this.

Having 21 of their former MPs in your party will certainly remind them.

Reeves did not mislead on challenges facing UK ahead of Budget, says OBR official bbc.in/48oUQFX

Feels increasingly like a Reeves budget, that didn’t crash the markets, is facing more criticism from BBC journalists than a Liz Truss budget that did #PoliticsLive

Which is why it’s so hilarious that you’re so happy to take on their extra-MPs Vote Reform get Tory
