Reason Doctors shouldn’t be able to strike full stop. Read the room resident doctors, read the room- the country is on its knees!

#nhs #residentdoctors #strike

[Daniel Bell @d5ell]

Resident doctors stringing for the 15th time since 2023! While I fully appreciate the hard work they do, they entered a profession to care for people, and instead they are letting those people down. Strikes have cost £3billion so far, taking more money out the pot, so there

Is less to put on the table even if the Health Secretary should! (Which he shouldn’t)! Pay rises of 33.4% over the last 4 years when the rest of the country barely get 2/3% in the private sector. The highest increases in the public sector and having a union of the BMA is further

@TrevorPTweets is by far one of the best journalists at challenging MP’s on his show!

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister @darrenpjones tells @TrevorPTweets the government has "made a lot of progress" in tackling migration and denies falling numbers of legal immigrants are due to the previous government.

Labour borrowed £24.3 billion last month - well above the OBR forecast and 25% higher than last April. Our debt interest spending was the highest of any April on record.

The recent spike in borrowing costs shows markets are increasingly worried about Keir Starmer’s replacement, leaving families to pick up the bill for a £300 Burnham Penalty.

Only the Conservatives have a leader with the backbone and strong team needed to restore confidence in the public finances by cutting debt through our Golden Economic Rule.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Keir Starmer would rather pay Putin for Russian oil, than drill British oil from the North Sea.

What happened to standing with Ukraine?

[Daniel Bell @d5ell]

What a fantastic candidate! A local man, for local people! Well done @Winstamike!

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

JUST ANNOUNCED: Former Mayor of Wigan @Winstamike has been selected as the Conservative Candidate for the Makerfield by-election.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Andy Burnham now now says:
1. I will stick to Rachael Reeves’ fiscal rules.
2. I will not seek to rejoin the EU.
Two U-turns in one day. What exactly would he do differently?

[Daniel Bell @d5ell]

Another U-Turn but as with them all- a good one!

Well done @KemiBadenoch - the only leader to lead this country!

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

VICTORY: After months of campaigning we’ve forced Rachel Reeves to scrap her planned hike in fuel duty.

This is a huge victory for drivers, who be saved from paying more at the pump ⬇️

[Daniel Bell @d5ell]

Well well well there is always a tweet indeed @AndyBurnhamGM!

Although I will admit, it’s not the right time to call an election!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Well, well, well Andy B. There’s always a tweet. I look forward to you calling an election when you replace Starmer.

[Daniel Bell @d5ell]

As Deputy Chairman of Greater Manchester Conservatives, me and the team look forward to the 2 by-elections and will ensure we have the very best candidates in place! 💪💪

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.

I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.

Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.

Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.

However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.

Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.

I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.

Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.

BREAKING: The @UKLabour are finally delivering growth!

67 MP’s and counting….

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

Far too many young people cannot get on the housing ladder because of stamp duty.

A future @Conservatives government will ABOLISH Stamp Duty on primary residences.

Free up the housing market, increase supply and boost the economy.

[Daniel Bell @d5ell]

Another socialist policy backfiring, when will @RachelReevesMP be reshuffled out of the cabinet?

[The Spectator @spectator]

It turns out that Reeves’s levy on homes worth more than £2 million is already costing hundreds of millions before a penny of the new tax has even been collected.

There shouldn’t be any surprise about that. Wealth taxes, which is what the mansion tax amounts to, always backfire. This is just the latest example.

Introducing an extra tax on homes worth more than £2 million, with a sliding scale up to £5 million, is turning out to be a lot more complex than expected for the Treasury.

It has been reported that Treasury officials estimate that, in the three years between Reeves announcin the levy and it coming into effect in April 2028, there will be a £230 million fall in stamp duty and inheritance tax revenues as values drop to around the threshold at which the tax is levied. Identifying and valuing all the homes that will have to pay the new tax is likely to cost another £150 million. Add the two figures together, and the mansion tax will end up costing the government £380 million before it raises any cash at all.
