Ironic that as PM Burnham raises the prospect of rejoining the EU, a sovereign debt crisis is brewing on the other side of the Channel. Oh, and Yields on UK 30-year bonds have just passed 6%.

.@ShabanaMahmood has decided that the Palestinians who openly celebrated October 7th can come to Britain via "legal routes." A disgusting betrayal of the government’s first duty, which is to keep us safe.

ANDREW NEIL: There were good arguments in 2016 for staying in the EU. The Remain campaign made a mess of articulating them. There are no good reasons in 2026 for rejoining the EU. dailymail.com/debate/article… via @DailyMail

Here’s a little reminder of what Thatcher actually achieved after the mess left by Labour, this was true leadership: 83% → 40% top-rate income tax 33% → 25% basic-rate tax 29.5m → 1.9m days lost to strikes 55% → 67% home ownership 3m → 11m individual shareholders 1.9m → 3.5m self-employed 49.5% → 28% national debt as a share of GDP Over 1 million council tenants became homeowners through Right to Buy. British Steel went from a colossal loss-maker to £733m profit. BT was privatised. British Airways was transformed from a loss-making nationalised airline into a profitable global carrier. Nissan came to Sunderland. Toyota to Derby. Honda to Swindon. Exchange controls were abolished. The City was transformed by the 1986 Big Bang, helping London grow into one of the world’s leading financial centres. Financial services expanded significantly, attracting investment, creating high-value jobs and generating substantial tax revenues that supported the wider UK economy. Even Labour governments recognised the City’s success as an important national asset and built on Britain’s position as a global financial hub. Britain became a net oil exporter. And internationally, Thatcher stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Reagan, built a remarkable relationship with Gorbachev and was one of the West’s most formidable opponents of Soviet communism. Three election victories. 11 years in Downing Street. Agree with every Thatcher policy or not, @andyburnham, but let’s not rewrite history. She didn’t just govern Britain — she changed it. And compared with today’s politicians, she had something increasingly rare: Conviction. Courage. And the willingness to actually do something about Britain’s problems. THAT’S WHY WE MUST VOTE FOR NIGEL AND REFORM🤷🩵🇬🇧

Liz Truss is always used by Labour to attack the Conservatives, citing the cost of govt borrowing hitting 4.6% under her. Today under Andy Burnham it’s hit 5.2%, the highest in decades. Labour are bankrupting the country. Tax rises are coming.

This was Manchester pride 😳… who takes their kids to see this? And why is it allowed to happen in a public space? This is not about same sex attraction. This is a display of perversion best kept private.

Labour has pushed the U.K. into record levels of debt - now almost  £3tn.  By the end of July, public sector net debt stood at £2.985tn — roughly £96bn higher than a year ago. Under Labour the U.K. is spending more on debt interest than we do on defence, police, and prisons combined.   Labour’s economic mismanagement will have significant consequences for years to come. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

This fraudster,now sporting a new haircut,believes 49,000 undocumented men entering a country in one day does not constitute an invasion. God help us if the same thing we're to happen here. She disregards the safety of women and children. How many is an invasion?

For years, Israel has been vilified for “targeting journalists” in Gaza. Now @pressfreedom has removed more names from its list after admitting said "journalist" participated in combat. That should be a major media scandal. Instead, the same outlets that helped spread the accusation against Israel will quietly move on to the next libel.

BREAKING 🚨: This a shocking attack on democracy. A Reform UK county councillor Thomas Mallon was assaulted on a doorstep while canvassing in #Kent. Punched in the face, he suffered severe sciatic nerve damage, was bed bound for two weeks and now needs a walking stick to walk around. Violence has absolutely no place in politics.

Remember the woman with red hair who is a convicted fraudster and nicked phones? If Burnham wins Makerfield he will make her Chancellor. Please spare us all great people of Makerfield.
