What @Keir_Starmer & his team don’t understand is that many voters know that their security is linked to their employer’s security, when @RachelReevesMP cripples small businesses & piles on taxes voters know that we’re all put at risk. Without small businesses there is no future
Just to be clear... Lord Mandelson, a proven liar, failed security vetting to be the UK's most senior diplomat trusted with vital state and security secrets - but no one at the Foreign Office bothered to tell the PM or anyone else at Number 10 about it.
Do they seriously expect us to believe this claptrap? Just how dumb do they think we are?!
The Prime Minister is either a liar or a fool. Either way, he has to resign.
Why did Mandelson fail his security vetting?
Why did it not stop him becoming Britain’s most powerful diplomat?
Why did we only hear about this yesterday?
Does our ‘clueless’ (so he claims) Prime Minister know anything about anything?
Or is he just a bare-faced liar?
It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened.
This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes.
Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation.
We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.
He can visibly rage all he likes, but I’m not buying this claptrap. How can someone as controversial as Mandelson, fired twice from previous Govts, fail a security vetting to be Britain’s top diplomat, and NOBODY in Govt or No10 is told about it?
This defence will unravel.
Rachel Reeves says that she has “the right economic plan”.
But her plan seems to be to tax hardworking people more, to pay for those who aren't working.
A family on benefits with three children could be getting the equivalent of £71,000 in salary a year. It’s just not fair.
Are you a sole trader or landlord with turnover above £50,000? There's a huge shake up about to happen to self-assessment which may affect you, called Making Tax Digital. It means you'll need to do a digital tax return four times a year! I don't normally cover small business issues but this needs awareness raising.
I must admit, some of this is driven by nervousness from what I’ve heard. I know of accountants near retirement who have left the industry early as they don’t want to deal with the new scheme.
All that means to me if you may be impacted you should get your head around it quickly, if you haven't yet. More info here... https://t.co/4f6P4TedOT
'Cases like that highlight the lunacy!'
@NickFerrariLBC can't believe that a benefits cheat was given £24,000 and a BMW at a time when limited defence spending is exposing the UK's fragility.
'You knew for years! Don't give us these crocodile tears now, man.'
@NickFerrariLBC has no time for Keir Starmer saying he 'beats himself up' about appointing Peter Mandelson.
