That’s a hat trick for @Keir_Starmer.

All three of the authors of his Strategic Defence Review have now openly criticized the Labour government for woeful inaction on Defence spending.

I wonder if people will be happy about the two child benefit cap being lifted, when the internet turns off because Russia severs all our underground cables…

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

Prob for the best that @TiceRichard was abandoned by @Nigel_Farage as @reformparty_uk’s economic spokesperson given his tax “issues”.

Importantly, these people want to run the country and they can’t even run their businesses properly, or make things whole.

It’s sad really.

Reform be like … “Maths… boy I dunno”

Claire is a Mayor - someone who controls a large budget.

Here she notes a weekly increase in diesel prices of 5%.

Diesel comes from oil which has increased ~9% in a week.

On that metric their profit margin will DECREASE.

We deserve better politicians than this.

Honoured to be the first speaker at the launch of City Forward tonight.

Connecting with younger talent across financial services is a big opportunity for the @Conservatives - to hear directly from the people building their careers in the sector and understand the issues that matter most to them.

Looking forward to keeping the conversation going.

.@RobertJenrick behind @KemiBadenoch again!

Reform really stumbling in grabbing momentum because, when it really matters, they are populists without a real plan.

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

💥BREAKING NEWS💥

@RobertJenrick has defected to @TheGreenParty following their win in Gorton and Denton.

Jenrick is alleged to have justified his second defection in as many months by telling voters: “I’ve always been a vegan.”

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

Grok trolling @reformparty_uk may well be the funniest thing ever.

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

£140 billion borrowed this year.

Rachel Reeves has lost control of the public finances 👇🏻

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

When I was in the Army, I had a few soldiers’s (Fijians) who had difficult names to pronounce.

I learned how to pronounce them and asked them to correct me if I was wrong.

Why? Because I show people respect.

It’s lunacy to suggest behaving otherwise is “London” centric.

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

Weird how Jenrick didn’t try to solve all these problems when he was *checks notes* a FUCKING government minister!?!

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

I’m told Kruger also defected after not getting a seat at the Shadow Cabinet table.

As a @Conservatives I’m glad to see the barnacles being scraped from the boat. Farage can have the dregs.

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

Laila posits in this argument with @michaelgove that she only stood as a councillor for Conservatives in 2022 because “Reform didn’t exist.”

So then why did she also accept selection as the Conservative Parliamentary candidate in Rotherham in 2024?

It was great to co-host a round table on housing policy with shadow Minister @JamesCleverly a few weeks ago, alongside @avivaplc.

A superb array of deep experts in the room gave same fresh ideas to take into 2026!

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

Reeves will be livid. She scheduled this budget so late because tomorrow is Thanksgiving and the US market will be closed.

She’s just given traders 90mins to smash the UK gilt market… which is precisely what is going on, across the curve…

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

Whilst @Keir_Starmer flails in Number 10 his team will, no doubt, be ever more reliant on his communications crutch … ChatGPT.

Rachel's Doom Loop.

She lied to business. She's supporting 300 pages of employment law. She's now refusing to rule out more tax rises.

Her Treasury is revolving door of deceit.

[Ed McGuinness @EJ_McGuinness]

I actually don’t think it’s enough now for Powell to simply resign.

Political interventional in the criminal justice system is surely grounds for a police investigation?

Starmer has some serious questions to answer when Parliament returns tomorrow.
