Inflation jumps in the wake of the Iran war - fuel costs soaring, everything getting more expensive. I made my view clear on day one, and I stand by that. British families should not be suffering because of the bombing - Reeves must radically and urgently cut fuel duty. That is one step to control inflation in the immediate term, but it is a sticking plaster. The brutal truth is that we need to take a chainsaw to the British state. The country must start to live within its means. And yes, that will be a painful process. Very painful. But in the long term that, along with vast cuts to tax and finally controlling the state's insane money printing addiction, is the ONLY way how to make life more affordable for British families. Will it win many votes? Probably not. But it's the only way.

@Artemisfornow I'm not sure the country could survive having those two at the helm. Things are bad enough already.

🚨 The terrifying prospect of a ‘leadership pact’ between Ange and Mad Ed makes my teeth itch. I’d laugh about it being a joke but it’s deadly serious, may have a small weep instead 🤡

Restore Britain will end facial recognition in public spaces. We will roll back mass surveillance. The British public are not suspects or walking barcodes. We will protect your right to live your life in private.

Nanny state this, police state that. The UK Government is out of control. Big Brother is watching you.

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes It's just one big cover up.

@Lord_Talbot64 He's a dead man walking. He'll have to go when the nightmare results of the local elections come through.

Starmer is scared.

@JamesMelville There's no point in talking to him, he's blinded by his ideology.

Here’s Ed Miliband getting rather hot under the collar when challenged by Sophie Ridge on North Sea oil and gas drilling.

@AllisonPearson It looks like some random woman wrapped in a blanket. Is that the best we could come up with and why the hell has her son signed it off?

Terrible statue of our late Queen. Looks nothing like her. Captures nothing of her. Is there anything this country won’t balls up? Elizabeth II in garter robes to be immortalised in three-metre bronze statue telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2…

“The process I followed was the process as I understood it.” Process, process, process … What a limited, pitiful lawyerly toad Starmer is.

Artemis II astronauts confirm that the Great Wall of China isn't the only man made structure visible from the moon. "The red flags about Mandelson stood out like a baboon's arse"

Farage can’t hide behind pathetic accusations of racism to defend his choice to stand a Bangladeshi migrant in PORTSMOUTH. I’m sure Addy Asaduzzaman is a great bloke, and I wish him well in his election. If that election is in Bangladesh. British elections for British people.

Starmer is being kept in place like a human shield to take the blame for the bloodbath on 7th May. Labour will be kicked out of its Welsh fortress and Red Wall seats. It’s not just hatred of Keir. Labour don’t know how to govern. The party’s over. @Keir_Starmer

@BBCPolitics It beggars belief that he thinks we believe him.

"It beggars belief that throughout the whole timeline of events, officials in the Foreign Office saw fit to withhold this information from the most senior ministers in our system in government," PM Keir Starmer says Follow live: bbc.in/4tSZdlO

Liar. You say there is "no place" for anti-semitism in London. That's not true. You, as @MayorofLondon, allow blatant and outrageous anti-semitism on our streets every day and en masse at marches every other Saturday and you do NOTHING. We see you.

Reform are now attempting to talk tougher on mass deportations. I urge you all to watch and share this video.

An RAF cadet has been suspended from an officer training course after saying that Islam is the 'greatest threat to Britain'. He was 'immediately removed' from the course and is under investigation. A shocking decision. Young men are entitled to their opinions. If he had said

@BBCNews It'll just be more lies and deflection. That's all we ever get from Starmer.

Britain is the most inflation-prone nation in the G7 – not least due to our "double dependency, as a major net importer of both energy and food. That was true before the Iran war – but the impact of this conflict on hydrocarbon and fertiliser supplies makes our inflation-outlier status even more stark. Also, regardless of what happens with the Strait of Hormuz, even if free passage is allowed from tomorrow morning, oil and gas production and export facilities have been severely damaged across the Middle East. Key plants and facilities which previously drove some 10-15pc of global energy production have been damaged, in many cases very seriously – so, even if peace breaks, supplies will be curtailed for months, even years to come. And that means sustained upward pressure on energy and food prices globally - further exposing the UK's systemic vulnerability. This is no time for internal party squabbles or international virtue signalling .... Britain needs urgently to extract a lot more of its own energy resources and rapidly expand our food production instead of hammering our farmers, while cutting back on crippling regulation across the board to get our stagnating economy moving.
