🚨The #TroublesBill as it stands "is manifestly unfair” Defence Select Committee member Mike Martin MP (@ThreshedThought) tells @SophyRidgeSky that veterans would be judged against legal standards that didn't exist when they served. Our veterans deserve better. #BackOurTroops

🚨 Our Prime Minister has just prostrated himself before the EU. “We will look to see if we can turn the summit into a good outcome for the EU...” What mandate does Burnham have for this again?

🤦‍♂️Labour wants to cosplay as the party of industry while putting the brakes on energy, infrastructure and investment. Britain won't reindustrialise on conference slogans. #Lab26

With Burnhamomics finally due to face parliamentary scrutiny, the question is how long the Blob can keep Labour afloat? At #CPACGB, @trussliz argued that the Bank of England and wider gov't apparatus will do everything they can to keep things going until 2029. Will they run out of rope?

Andy Burnham says Britain should be “bolder” in getting closer to the EU. We couldn’t disagree more. @NileGardiner was absolutely right at #CPACGB: “The EU is a force of tyranny.” Britain needs more sovereignty, not more Brussels.

🤔So the mining giant wants to guarantee a multimillion-pound windfall for its execs — on the back of a merger that hasn’t even happened yet. Meanwhile, shareholders & advisory groups are already waving ‘red-top’ warnings. A classic example of executive failure being rewarded.

🚨The chancellor’s measures, including a freeze on income tax thresholds that will mean 1.7 million people paying more, take the tax burden to an all-time high, according to the OBR. How many times did this government promise growth in their manifesto?
