Andy Burnham has time for Gogglebox. Does he have time to govern?
The Budget is where we discover what he believes, what his plan costs and who is going to pay for it.
Being convivial is no substitute for being in charge.
My piece in The Times👇
From Yorkshire to Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire to Worcestershire, Conservatives won ALL of last night’s council by-elections in England 💙
Three gains and a hold, beating Labour, the Greens and Reform:
🌳 Cllr Amanda Carter, Calverley & Farsley, Leeds. GAIN from Labour
🌳 Cllr Rosemary Bolton, Hertford Kingsmead, East Hertfordshire. GAIN from Green
🌳 Cllr Ben Lavender, Grantham St Wulfram’s, South Kesteven. GAIN from Independent
🌳 Cllr Tony Miller, Hartlebury, Wychavon. HOLD
Criminals should be behind bars, not released early because prisons are full.
We have a plan to build 50,000 new prison places and end Labour’s early release.
Ofgem have today revealed that Britain might not have enough gas in a worst case scenario this winter.
Burnham says that it's better to produce oil and gas in Britain than importing it. So why is he banning new licences?
Here’s the real reason we need to get Britain drilling👇
After months of dithering and delay, Conservative pressure has finally forced Labour to approve Jackdaw.
This should be the start, not the end. Labour must approve Rosebank, end the ban on new drilling licences, and scrap the Energy Profits Levy
Finally. Labour spent 2 years faffing about to make a decision which Conservatives had already approved 2 years ago.
If they’d done this in the summer we’d have had that gas heating British homes this Christmas.
An unnecessary waste of time and money by a party that puts its own interest above the country’s.
Labour’s answer to everything? More tax.
Ours? Back the businesses keeping our high streets alive and make it cheaper to give young people their first jobs.
Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years.
Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs.
What happened to the country that built things? 👇
Young people should hear about what they can do, not what they can't.
The next Conservative government will help them into work, not leave them signing on the moment they leave school.
