Imagine the outcry if Starmer personally accepted a 5 million donation, not for the party, but for him personally, just before he was elected Labour leader. Chris Mason would have a team on it 24x7 Farage received £5m from donor before he became MP bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Just so we're clear, these two are responsible for the big hikes in UK gilt yields in this decade... Not @RachelReevesMP 👍

Incredibly telling @KemiBadenoch interview on @BBCr4today: - can’t say what she’d actually want UK forces to do - no idea what objective her proposed military action is to achieve - hides from reality that single biggest constraint on British military = her govt’s defence cuts

The British Government's position is nuanced, clear, and correct. It's also frightfully dull, so will play badly on social media.

#bbclaurak: Sarah Pochin(Reform MP said it drives me mad when I see adverts full of black & asian people... are some of their politicians racist? Wes Streeting: "She said the quiet bit loud... what she said was a disgrace & I think it was racist... "

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

@paddyarp @PeterStefanovi2 @SkyNews Labour needed intelligence reviews, legal assessments, and risk evaluations before lifting it... Imagine finding that out when taking power and dealing with it! You're not going to immediately lift.

@paddyarp @SteveReedMP The tories didn’t fine anyone = no penalty to pump poo into our rivers and seas. This is implementing a deterrent. It’s a good thing.

@paddyarp @Keir_Starmer Don't remember you commenting this on Conservative politicians socials, when council tax, electricity and water bills went up more than ever before? Strange that.

@paddyarp @GBNEWS @Conservatives Tories gutted the military: Army shrank by 25% (102K → 73K), 40% fewer tanks, 35% less artillery, warships scrapped (only 19 left). Defence chiefs say Britain is unfit for war after 14 years of Tory failure 👍

@paddyarp @GBNEWS He's trying to assemble a coalition - because the US no longer guarantees European security. The @Conservatives crippled our military: Defence budget slashed by 22%—losing a quarter of its troops. The reason Britain is unfit for war, is the Tories.

@paddyarp @christopherhope @GBNEWS Agree on the 3% commitment. That’s a direct result of Trump SUPPORTING Putin. It’s not about ‘copying’ from anyone else’s manifesto.
