'They aren't the Labour Party anymore, they're the Welfare Party.'

@KemiBadenoch rubbishes the Education Secretary's plan to offer free childcare for parents on benefits.

Something to look forward to

Manchester suffers steepest fall in living standards in England. The scrutiny will now come. https://t.co/M4WUdoWYU6

Sore loser…

But we kinda knew that 👇

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

I mean…no shame 👇

Makerfield was democracy of course

[Guido Fawkes @GuidoFawkes]

Andy Burnham spokesman: "This is a gimmick designed to distract from serious allegations about Farage's funders. What really matters in politics is how we can change Westminster to take power for communities and take it back to people to make life more affordable for them."

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

“Free”

That sums up Labour lack of respect for hard earned tax payer money

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has called for families on benefits to be given 30 free hours of childcare a week

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

Let’s not forget the really important news today 👍👏👏👇

[Stewart Jackson 🇮🇱🇬🇧🇺🇸 @BrexitStewart]

Fantastic news!

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

Bit rich when Labour say the Clacton By Election is a “gimmick”

Wasn’t that precisely what Makerfield was, just more costly with the resulting Manchester Mayoral election ?

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

It is entirely possible - indeed it looks very likely - that none of the main parties stand against Nigel Farage in Clacton, paving the way for an effective coronation

Some Tories are saying that it's a no-win situation for them - if they enter and lose by a significant margin it fuels Farage's argument that they are dead

Burnham has made clear that he views the whole thing as a gimmick. His whole campaign strategy in Makerfield was about playing the ball not the man, talking about Reform in broad terms rather than by name

Rupert Lowe, the leader of Restore Britain, says his party will stand in the second by-election later this year, which could come if Farage is censured by the standards commissioner

Farage could stand almost entirely uncontested and end up with a majority that far eclipses the 46.2 per cent of the vote he won at the general election

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

Now the dilemma is with the other parties as polls suggest Reform will win by election in Clacton

So they do a “David Davis” by election and ignore it - or put up and fight ?

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

Pretty straight talking from Jacob 👇

[Dan Wootton @danwootton]

Ahead of Nigel Farage's 2pm statement, his GB News colleague Jacob Rees-Mogg drops some bombshells...
💣 More financial issues within Reform UK to come
💣 Leaks against Nigel coming from within Reform UK
💣 There are others within Reform UK who want to replace Nigel as leader

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

Will he be more Trump or more Starmer ?

Stay and fight on,or cut and run?

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

I will make a statement on my future in public life at 2pm.

Oh look, a Lib Dem flying the England Flag🫢😱👇

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Were we right to be worried about the altitude? We were certainly right to be worried about a very good Mexico at home…and down to 10 men…don’t think I’ve seen such a gutsy England win against the odds at this stage of a tournament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

Wave the flag!

It’s not not far right, but it is by far the right the thing to do !

[England @England]

A tie that had absolutely everything. A win that means absolutely everything.

WE ARE WORLD CUP QUARTER-FINALISTS! 🏆

That’s just pathetic 👇

Whatever happened to “turbo charge the economy”…”smash the gangs” …”no increase in national insurance”…but don’t worry, he did this 👇

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

@MagicOfFACup @andyburnham She wasn’t around long enough to have one to be fair

[Nick de Bois CBE @nickdebois]

Hang on - if we are “changing political direction” then that means it’s a rejection of the 2024 mandate

So this requires a GE @andyburnham

[LBC @LBC]

'It's an end to neoliberalism and trickle-down economics which did not trickle down very much at all.'

Andy Burnham signals that he will take a ‘very different’ political direction when he becomes Prime Minister, promising a more 'inclusive approach' to government.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

If this hadn’t been recorded I don’t think anyone would believe these words were actually spoken. Nandy couldn’t be clearer.
It is mind blowing to hear a senior politician speaking such dangerous nonsense
