Seeing as though Andy Burnham prefers answering softball questions on Reddit instead of facing real scrutiny from the Press, I’m asking a question of my own on his AMA.
It’s time get serious @andyburnham. Hold a proper press conference, and answer some real questions.
Young people: the Conservative Party is on your side.
Whilst Labour make it harder for you to find a job, we have a plan to help you make money and get work experience ⬇️
The Defence Secretary resigned 3 weeks ago because he was being forced to make decisions that would make our troops and our country less safe.
Today Labour is publishing a Defence Investment Plan that is barely half what the armed forces say is needed, and well below what our allies are spending.
Starmer is no longer the real Prime Minister. But he’s underfunding our military in his search for a ‘legacy’. If Andy Burnham has signed off on this, then he too is culpable of putting our service personnel at risk with this weak plan.
We need to cut benefits to fund our armed forces. It doesn’t matter who leads them, the problem is Labour MPs who won’t do what is necessary to defend our country.
Rachel Reeves has already increased borrowing by a quarter of a TRILLION over this parliament.
Now Andy Burnham is looking at how he can borrow even more. He doesn’t even know what the fiscal rules are.
Labour are simply addicted to debt.
"I grew up on a council estate" is not an excuse for failure. You are sacrificing the future of generations of kids on the altar of your class envy -reversing even Labour's academy reforms.
0% of teachers think you're doing a great job. I'm not here to give you a pat on the back.
I speak for those people whose lives you're destroying and I'll NEVER stop speaking up for them.
Just before PMQs, at the despatch box, she called one of my MPs a racist. She’s just said it again on Radio 4.
The hordes of Labour MPs rushing to twitter to whine about me calling her “spiteful” are just exposing their own hypocrisy.
They love to dish it but they can’t take it.
Everyone has the right to protest.
No one should have the right to hijack national events with amplified noise and deliberate disruption.
Steve Bray’s antics are a national embarrassment. I have written to Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley to ask what can be done to stop it.
Rachel Reeves’ parting gift to Britain looks set to be a further tax raid on savers.
Labour’s tax changes are a double whammy for savers - cutting ISA allowances while raising the tax rate on savings interest. Now it looks like even investment ISAs will not be safe.
Labour are punishing people who have done exactly what governments have long encouraged them to do: work hard, save, and get ahead.
Hiking national insurance
The Family Farm Tax
Giving up on real welfare reform
Not funding our defence
Not drilling our own oil and gas
Appointing Peter Mandelson…then lying about what had happened
Britain is not ungovernable. Keir Starmer is a terrible Prime Minister. But the problem isn’t just Starmer.
Labour MPs only want higher taxes to hand out more benefits, as the Welfare Secretary has pointed out. These are Labour’s choices and their values, regardless of who is running the party.
We need to get Britain working again. We need the @Conservatives.
Ten years ago the people of this country voted to leave the EU in the biggest expression of popular will in our history.
We need to stop fearing the freedom and make use of it and move on together. 🇬🇧
