The new Danish government is cutting the corporation tax rate from 22% to 19% over three years, and eliminating income tax bands for the highest earners.

“It is crucial that Denmark remains competitive,” Prime Minister Frederiksen said.

It's sad that the British government does not have a similar attitude.

I just...I really like her.

Punishing today’s Conservatives for the mistakes of the past isn't just counterproductive—it’s completely self-defeating.

​Think about it: it is exactly like a football fanbase refusing to support their club because of a terrible previous season under a completely different manager. It makes zero sense.

​For years, the core complaint was clear: "We don't have an ideologically true Conservative leader, and we don't have real Conservative policies." Well, now we do. Under Kemi Badenoch, the landscape has completely shifted:

​The Principles: She is delivering the authentic, common-sense conservatism the grassroots have been begging for.

​The Vision: She is actively dismantling a decade of misrule and rebuilding the party from the ground up.

​The Momentum: Her message is resonating, and her leadership is popular.

​But Kemi cannot do this alone. She needs our support to make this renaissance a success.

​Right now, the political landscape is fractured by a protest vote that achieves nothing. Splitting the vote for Reform—a party that operates as a volatile one-man band and routinely borrows policies from across the aisle just to patch a manifesto together—doesn't help a single soul in this country.

​Worse still, let’s look at what Reform actually represents. The Tories are true blue. True Conservatism is blue.
Voting turquoise—a diluted, compromised blue—gets you a diluted form of conservatism that actively drifts leftward in Northern regions just to chase Red Wall populism. It lacks core stability.

​The Conservative Party offers tested, experienced, "old school" representatives who understand how to govern and how to fight for traditional values.

​It’s time to stop looking backward at past grievances and start looking forward at the real alternative. If you want genuine, un-diluted Conservatism, back the leader who is actually building it. 🇬🇧
​Back Kemi. Back the Blues. 🌳

Remember, Labour said the introduction of VAT of school fees was to pay for extra teachers.

There are FEWER teachers under Labour.

[Annunziata Rees-Mogg @zatzi]

People’s lives, people’s families, people’s self esteem, people’s livelihoods.

210,000 fewer people in work in a year.

100,000 fewer people in work in just one month.

April.

The month the (anti) workers rights act came into force…

Well done Labour 😡

* The early estimate of payrolled employees for April 2026 decreased by 210,000 (0.7%) on the year, and by 100,000 (0.3%) on the month, to 30.2 million. [source ONS]

[Iain Mansfield @IGMansfield]

Remember: if you think Brexit cut GDP per capita by 8%, you implicitly believe that, without Brexit, the UK would have grown c. 1% a year faster than France or Germany. A growth profile closer to the US.

That's simply not a remotely tenable position.

H/t @julianHjessop.

Those who want Britain to be controlled by a European bureaucracy dont care about truth or reality.

They deal in fantasy and scare mongering

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

The Government is potentially in contempt of Parliament.

By failing to publish unredacted documents, they are failing to abide by the Humble Address on Lord Mandelson's appointment as our Ambassador to the US.

This is unacceptable, and unless the Government stops the obfuscation, I will raise the matter as a matter of contempt.

I reminded the House that the now PM, Keir Starmer, established a precedent for this in December 2018, when he secured a motion holding the then-Government in contempt.

[Jamie Jenkins @statsjamie]

🚨 Breaking - 210,000 jobs gone — is this what happens when Labour taxes jobs?

The latest payroll data shows Britain has 210,000 fewer payrolled employees than a year ago.

That’s not a recovery. That’s jobs disappearing under Labour.

📉 The state expands.
📉 The real economy shrinks.
📉 Workers pay the price.

How many more jobs have to vanish before Rachel Reeves admits her jobs tax is hammering the labour market?

[(((Evs))) @Tory_Brexit69]

@10DowningStreet Inflation over double what Labour inherited, and going up. Unemployment up since June 2024. Business confidence lowest since Covid. Interest rates not coming down. Job adverts lowest since Covid.

The Bond rates highest since 1998.

These are facts, not forecasts.

[Torridge & Tavistock Conservatives @TWDCA1]

@10DowningStreet Rubbish. Still hugely downgraded since Jan!

[Torridge & Tavistock Conservatives @TWDCA1]

Ahem

[Matt Vickers MP @Matt_VickersMP]

🚨 Yet more devastating news for Britain’s economy.

Unemployment is UP.

19% more people are now without a job since Labour came to power.

More people without the security of a pay packet, able to provide for their families.

We’re all paying the price for Labour’s failure.

[Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green @MPIainDS]

The Labour party has no electoral mandate to override the biggest vote this country has ever seen when voting for Brexit. We must defend the overwhelming democratic vote of the British people and fight to make sure Brexit is not betrayed. The Labour party’s internal leadership psychodrama should not hide the fact that they plan to take the UK back in to the expensive clutches of the EU. In short Labour want to wreck Brexit.

Only Labour could have an Energy Independence Bill that makes us MORE dependent on foreign oil and gas. Total nonsense.

Banning new North Sea licences means fewer British jobs, weaker energy security and more imports.

Only the Conservatives have a plan to get Britain drilling.

[Nickie Brown @Nickie_Brown]

Let’s have a think about what’s happening in Makerfield.

This by election is costing taxpayers £226,208. And it’s happening because a Labour MP chose to step aside to make room for Andy Burnham’s leadership ambitions. He admitted that himself.

But here’s some more interesting figures.

If Burnham wins, he’ll have to resign as Greater Manchester Mayor too. That triggers another election costing taxpayers around £4.7 million.

So in total, nearly £5 million of public money could be spent not on improving services, fixing roads, supporting communities or helping struggling families, but on political career ambitions.

People are struggling with bills, crime, NHS waiting lists and communities being ignored. Yet Westminster politics still seems focused on who climbs the ladder next.

That’s what frustrates people. Not democracy. Political games made to look like democracy.

[Julian Jessop @julianHjessop]

Andy Burnham's principled position on Brexit seems to be that he wants the UK to rejoin the EU but doesn't want to be too open about this until after he is elected... 🙄

[Polly Rendall @PollyRendall]

Verrico explained two points that contradict Rayner:

(1) they don’t give tax or trust advice.

(2) they had calculated the stamp duty using HMRC’s own online calculator based solely on the information and facts provided and inputted by Rayner herself which led to the lower rate.

This is what sticks in our minds not the HMRC conclusion or Rayners version.

[Choyaa @Choyaa13]

@afneil No penalty from HMRC but their online calculator advises the following:
