@labourpress It’s just we value dignity and think all ppl deserve dignity. And it doesn’t come from handouts, it comes from working, achieving, growing and being independent. Policy wise, lower tax and higher tax thresholds wld mean ppl would have more freedom with the (more) money they earn

@AllisonPearson Maybe he doesn’t know the difference…

@UKLabour Why doesn’t Labour understand that socialism CAUSES poverty…

[Harriet Gould @hariert]

@UKLabour I suppose they can’t feel the weight of the responsibility they’ve got custody of

[Harriet Gould @hariert]

@UKLabour There’d be little point increasing them after all the other tax increases…

The top wealthiest 10% already shoulder half the country’s income tax bill. Britain’s problem isn’t too little tax - it’s an obsession with punishing any form of success

@CalumAM Poor thing!

£8 for a jar of coffee
£12 for bottle of olive oil

£20 spent on just two items of food.

UK supermarket food prices are out of control. Everyone is saying the same thing.

@DanNeidle Probably worth remembering things are all relative. What might seem a small saving for you might seem life changing for someone else. Those bigger savings might seem vast on paper but the real benefit is among those to whom the smaller numbers are relevant

Standing room only for Kemi Badenoch’s speech …

@CalumAM At least that’s clear.

@UKLabour I wonder if legitimising terrorist regimes causes such events to be more or less likely to occur

[Harriet Gould @hariert]

@sophielouisecc There’s always a fix… just seldom a quick one

[Harriet Gould @hariert]

@BellaWallerstei Labour have never sought to cut the state. That’s a matter for Conservatives

Chancellor Rachel Reeves proudly describes the food served at breakfast clubs:

On a point of order, all of those things are terrible for you
