Highest growth in G7, 6 interest rate cuts, inflation down, more police on the front line, NHS waiting lists dropping, net migration lowest since 2012, highest military investment since the Cold War, new cost of living summer package for families.
All that (and much more) despite inheriting a mess and challenging global events.
Lots done, lots to do. 2 years into a 5 year term.. and we need stability to deliver more - faster - not change.
Country first 🇬🇧
Reform not celebrating this 80% drop in Migration showcases that the Far-Right doesn't even care about migration, they care about division.
Dividing Europe, Dividing People, and selling off our countries to their masters in the US and Russia.
They are traitors to their country
The British working class need to find their self respect, fast. I grew up without a pot to piss in, around casual racists, I challenged it. There’s no excuse. It’s a choice. The poor are letting themselves be used by multi-millionaire con artists and it fucking enrages me.
@MatthewStadlen Regardless of the logic behind this, and as a Manc I'm pretty pissed off with the situation, describing his tenure as "capped bus fares in Manchester" is very disingenuous, reductive and clearly shows your London-centric bias...
@AndyBurnhamGM You can spin this however you want, but we all know that this is nothing but naked political ambition. You've done a great job as mayor, but you've done placed the stewardship of our city in jeopardy for your own desires. Very disappointed in you.
Times columnist Fraser Nelson pointed out over the weekend that new Home Office statistics paint a striking picture: net migration has fallen dramatically since Labour entered government, now sitting around 80 per cent below the record highs reached under the Conservatives.
And it is not just the headline figure shifting. Remove international students from the equation and long-term immigration levels are now “probably at a multi-year low”, Nelson wrote on his Substack — a remarkable turnaround after years of Tory chaos, broken promises and soaring numbers.
The asylum backlog is also being rapidly reduced under Labour. After ballooning in the aftermath of Covid while successive Conservative ministers appeared paralysed and unwilling to grip the crisis, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has begun making serious progress in clearing the system.
Away from the Westminster psychodrama and endless Reform stunts, an uncomfortable reality is emerging for Labour’s opponents: the Government may quietly be delivering results where the Tories failed for years.
