Over recent weeks, ReformUK-run Kent County Council have been claiming that they have saved tens of millions of taxpayer money.
Much of this is smoke and mirrors. What isn't, is either misleading, false, or the result of the work of the previous Conservative administration.
Most migrants can get Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years.
It means they can stay here forever. And claim welfare, social housing and free healthcare.
Millions of recent migrants didn’t come to work. Giving them ILR will cost us hundreds of billions. We mustn’t do it.
At PMQs, I asked Keir Starmer multiple times if he would exempt hospices from his jobs tax.
He repeatedly refused to answer.
They had no idea the mess they were making or the impact it would have on so many vulnerable people.
I was in Glasgow this week, watching the next generation of British naval defence, HMS Cardiff and HMS Glasgow being built.
As the world gets more dangerous, we’re going to have to do what it takes to protect Britain…and that means spending more on defence.
I'm travelling up and down the country listening to businesses who are telling me Keir Starmer's tax rises are causing real pain and anxiety.
Business is the backbone of Britain.
We can’t afford to lose them.
No farmers, no food.
Labour's Family Farms Tax will force thousands of family-run farms to have to sell up, destroying one of Britain's best industries.
The government need to do the right thing, and reverse this tax.
This is nauseating ahistorical drivel and more Kremlin propaganda. Nobody provoked Putin. Nobody “poked the bear with a stick”. The people of Ukraine voted overwhelmingly in 1991 to be a sovereign and independent country. They were perfectly entitled to seek both NATO and EU membership. There is only one person responsible for Russian aggression against Ukraine - both in 2014 and 2022 - and that is Putin. To try to spread the blame is morally repugnant and parroting Putin’s lies.
It is bizarre that the author should also suggest we now reduce our support for Ukraine, when the solution to the conflict is in fact clear - the Ukrainians need to win, and to repel Putin’s invasion. They can and they will. The problem in the last 30 years has not been western provocation but western weakness in the face of Russian aggression - a weakness exemplified by this article.

Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the mountains,
Like wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the West,
Behind the hills into shadow.
